Many middle-age and younger people today have too much expectation and insufficient sacrifice. They started off with expensive wedding celebration, honeymoon follow by carefree life-style - dining out, expensive alcohol, merry-making parties, more than budget-permit rental apartments, branded goods, multiple home-entertaining systems, etc. They want a career, new car, credit card, holidays and new home! They spoilt their health, not because of genetic reason, but due to their indifferent attitude towards what real life is about.

Life is about sharing and compromise. Me-ism preachers have been giving the wrong messages, and forgetting the duty and responsibility as humans on this planet are not just to live for themselves but also leave behind offspring to ensure a continual existence of human race - healthy humans to be precise.

How are the kids with older parents going to tell their friends - parents or grandparents? Will this damage their mental development? Generation gap, I argue very often is created by older generation. Another 10 or more years’ gap can mean greater difficulty in relating to them and guide them. There are always exceptions to the rules – good luck!

Where is free speech? WikiLeaks is banned then comes plain cigarette packaging. What's wrong with the Food Acts?

Obesity is a lifestyle choice, no difference from people who take up extreme sports, or practise as snake catcher.

If we are fair dinkum about teaching those who can't help themselves, then let those people who consume excess fatty foods, sugar, alcohol or anything that are classified as health hazard pay their related medical treatment out of their own pockets. The public health system and Medicare WILL not be responsible. If they can't pay, they will have to suffer due to their own stupidity.

As a marketer, I protest strongly about plain packaging. Being different is fundamental to brand / product differentiation. Do we expect more generic brand foods in every food outlet?

I don't like to see Australia to become one of those Communist countries where freedom of speech and expression are premium.

Are we going to see banning of Google? Will there be forced closure of McDonalds, Hungry Jacks or KFC unless their products are fat-reduced? Is this the end of Australian sugar and butter industries?

Please publish this comment - just to show that free speech is NOT dead!
