Why do some people say "I wouldn't want a government to dictate what I eat"? This would mean they'd be against food safety regulations, would it not? Context was the idea of a government banning meat

Banning foods is the same regulation as banning golf carts from being licensed.

Nobody’s gonna stop you from buying a golf cart and driving one (growing your own meat and eating it) but it’s deemed unsafe for you and society to drive one on the highway so you legally cant. (No right to food that’s bad for society)

You can’t access golf carts on the highway (can’t access bad food in the grocery store)
