Perhaps the May government will help them reclaim that part of their national heritage.

This is probably another bight idea from the ‘Nudge’ unit.

It becomes their business via the backdoor of socialized medicine, since gov picks up obesity related costs. If it maximizes happiness to eat too much, why is that bad?
If someone is an athlete, has not had breakfast, or has a high metabolism, a single serving pizza of current size is NOT too big. Some people even split them. Again, none of their business. Are they going to stop you from buying two?
