RAEL’S COMMENT:
What we eat drink or smoke is not the business of any government.
Westerners are now so used to being nannied by the state that when an official tells us it’s our choice how much to drink and smoke, we are shocked – and many are outraged. But maybe it’s time to push back against all the nudging.
This is what the new Norwegian Health Minister Sylvi Listhaug said that led to calls for her immediate resignation for “setting public welfare back decades.”
“People should be allowed to smoke, drink and eat as much red meat as much as they want,” Listhaug said on national radio.
“I do not plan to be the moral police, and will not tell people how to live their lives, but I intend to help people get information that forms the basis for making choices.”
