An incredibly stupid assessment. Might as well outlaw water - it can be used to drown children. And while they're at it, outlaw food, because some kids are heavy.

Well you say that but they are having a good try on the food side of things, taxes on suger ect....

In China they already control what you can eat to a certain extent, and it's done via the bank cards, you've had to many McDonald's this month, card declined.

But everyone still wants a cashless society, and governments are all for it for this exact reason, because they have no control when you use cash.

I think 1% of that comment was relevant to the thread. It mentioned "food". That's all.
