without "the government" we wouldn't know what is actually in the food and couldn't make an informed decision

Do: Have the government require transparency and safety of producers of goods (especially food).
Do not: Dictate or attempt to control what food consumers choose.
Exceptions: Tobacco, carcinogens, hallucinogens, narcotic substances, poisons... See "safety"
I could classify food as narcotic substance. It's addictive for me, I've felt withdrawal symptoms very clearly and I really felt like a junkie on hunger when I dropped too much weight too fast. There is BIG a difference between "stomach empty" hunger and "PANIC_MODE: your cells require energy NOW" hunger.
Why is sugar not on your list of exceptions when excessive quantities of it are much more impactful on your health than everything on that list outside of out-right-poisons?
Obesity is killing a lot of folks before they grow old enough to develop Cancers.
Someone has already pointed out sugar and how it's not on your exceptions list.
Let's do this another way though.
What are the criteria for being added to your exceptions?
