But, the example that Debbie gave was " folate enrichment of various cereal/grain products". I'd argue that this is closer to preventing blindness than legislating against McDonald's hamburgers. I'll agree its not nearly as important as the examples you gave, but it is an easy means to improve nutrition without restricting free choices of people. It seems to me that the third world examples you gave are critical and important; the McDonalds example is foolish, and Debbie's example is a fairly easy change like iodized salt. I would guess Debbie would agree with this, and I'd be curious to see if/why you might conder enrichment as an example of a "nanny state."
