It's precisely because people have so many choices and possible vendors that regulation is more needed, not less. We can't all be experts in everything. And we all have different levels of self control.

For all these reasons we collectively develop laws and regulations to keep things within some reasonable limits. Considering the obesity epidemic, despite few wanting to be obese, I think tightening the reigns a bit is warranted.
