What pcg1013 and some others who hold similar opinions forget is that if you truly want to level the playing field, then you need only understand one statement;

Equal Opportunity/Access, Not Equal Outcome!

Think about Nadal/Federer for a bit, the time before Nadal decided to up his game. Nadal was King of Clay, but Federer could whup him on any other surface. But in tennis, to provide equal opportunity, the players swap sides, so that both have the same playing conditions. What they did NOT do is to force Nadal to wear 50lb dumbbells so that Federer could beat him on clay, and vice versa.

Let the marketplace decide; it’s our choice to kill ourselves with bad food, as long as we don’t bring others down with us. And anyways, where’s the proof?
