Well its to my opinion that those people are making lousy, poorly thought out decisions (probably largely influenced by the addiction) and should not be given that choice. I am all for freedom and self expression. But this is killing them.
I guess with your logic, I should let a suicidal person jump off a 30 story building, because otherwise I might be taking away their freedom.

These people are addicted to fatty foods. I know I am right now. But I don't accept it, and I won't let it continue. These people need help to get their diets on track - most of them know that, and most of them want it. And if someone we know suffers from heart disease, its our job as their family to help them eat better and cope with it. Not let them continue eating shit for the purpose of freedom. Because we care about them enough to know ultimately its whats best for them. And surely they know that too.
