Should the government have a say in our diets‚ Many people will argue that it is freedom of choice to eat whatever you want but the government has a right to interfere with that freedom if it is infringing upon the rights of others.

We have the same question that ‘why do we have to do homework every day?’. Most people explain about the harms of homework‚ but why don’t they explain about the goods too? I think we have to change our way of thinking because homework does more good than harm.
