There are a variety of reasons I send my children to private school, which include both social and academic reasons. However, I am not so ignorant as to think that private school shelters them from all the influences that I see as negative.
In my example, the cause of the obesity isn't the issue. If health insurance should be required to the point of garnishment of wages because it is deemed best for the individual and society, then why not have mandatory exercise programs? People who exercise are typically more healthy than those who do not. Let's require vitamins and an oat bran muffin daily as well.
I don't understand the concept the concept of acceptance of the ever growing nanny state, nor the encouragement for it to grow ever larger.
