It's a fair reason for a food to exist, unless you can provide a reason as to why coke violates your rights.


I am perfectly okay with doing that.

We live in a society, people's decisions are not made in a vacuum. The cost of obesity and tooth decay on the healthcare budget is an example.

Stretching from the mid-Atlantic to the Great Lakes and even into southern Ontario is the Greater Pennsylvanian Hive ("Hivers"), a collectivist nation under a system of "bureaucratic despotism"; the ruling ideology of the Hive is somewhat inspired by pre-Cataclysm Mohist thought, with order exalted as the highest good and the state revered as if it were a benevolent God. Aside from their ideological zeal, the Hive is also notable for maintaining an industrial economy on par with the early 20th century, fueled in large part by the coal reserves of northeastern Pennsylvania as well as by hydroelectricity from Niagra Falls.

The lands formerly known as the midwestern and southeastern United States are a lawless sort, with allegiances and borders seeming to fluctuate wildly by the day. Life here is nasty, brutish, and short compared to life in "civilized" regions, but people get by nonetheless. Settlements in this region tend to be small population-wise, with most villages being dedicated to agriculture. Although the devout folks of these parts have a strong sense of community, an unpleasant aspect of life in the midwest is the presence of raiders/warlords/scoundrels, and as such most honest midwesterners tend to be somewhat wary of outsiders.

The largest of the new civilizations of post-Cataclysm North America is easily the Imperium of Tejas, which I've already covered.

I'm gonna do the West Coast (including Kowani's faction) as well as non-national factions (such as the Militant Orders of Louisiana and other such), but at a later time I guess. Maybe later this evening, I dunno.

Tfw don't get a faction

If healthcare was run by the government I'd be fine with them applying further regulations to food and beverages simply due to the fact that keeping tabs on nutrition helps in preventing disease, thus keeping healthcare costs lower.

Externalities exist. One person’s decision often affects others.

Although health is important I do not think banning certain foods in a reactionary manner is the solution.

The real solution is encouraging general health, financial and other incentives.
And have much improved PE, health education and ROTC programs.
And bring back conscription.

You can be healthy and drink Coke and eat Twinkies.
Health is not one factor.

Novus America represents my vision of an awesome Atompunk near future United States of America expanded to the entire North American continent, Guyana and the Philippines. The population would be around 700 million.
Think something like prewar Fallout, minus the bad stuff.

Politically I am an independent. I support what is good for the country, which means I cannot support either party.

Thus Alnair wept bitterly, lamenting the notes which had begun to fade from his memory. He, who had composed the world's first poem upon spying a gazelle and who had played the world's first song upon encountering a dove perched upon a moringa, in beauty, now found only suffering and longing. Such it must be for all among the djinn, souls of flame and ash slowly dwindling to cinders in the elder days of the world."
