Perhaps the way to split the difference, in your example/metaphor, is to ban the restaurant from giving the delicious sugary food to the obese rather than banning the food altogether.

I can see that happening, but I don't think a private business should be forced to do it.

Now, I think they should do it, but because they want to. If anyone is to take action, I think the way to go is to reach the obese people and help them. Explain why they should not visit the restaurant anymore.

    I understand your point, and there was a time in my life when I would’ve agreed with you I think, but perhaps I’ve become cynical in my age and I question whether there’s sufficient agency in the broader population to achieve that goal.
