Bans simply roll out the red carpet for more bans. I have never seen so much nannyism as I have in the last several years concerning everything from smoking in bars to banning kids from playing tag of all things on their school playgrounds. Perhaps the banning of harmless school yard games is contributing to this particular issue on fat at least among the young. Seems people have forgotten to live and let live and it's quite unfortunate.
