I hope most people would agree that a function of government is to keep its citizens safe. Thus we have things like an army to fight enemies, the FDA to (theoretically) keep crap out of meat, labor laws to keep 10 year old kids from working 80 hours a week. As I understand it, the Tea Party wants to do away with those last two so ymmv.
As people learn about what contributes and prevents disease, shouldn't the government change its rules about what is and isn't safe to eat?
Where do you draw that line about a nanny state? Dunno, beats me.
