this exchange is fascinating bc neither side cares about abstract principles; the left about decency or precaution, the right about liberty or the role of morality. they're engaged in a purely political battle, seeking to use the legal system to advocate for object-level goals

can those on the left truly not understand why many would find this repugnant, how their impulse is rooted in concern for children's health and future?
do those on the right not realize how finding something morally abhorrent does not justify preventing others from doing it?
@pee_zombie hm, at the limit I would want to prevent others from committing moral atrocities, e.g preventing people who don't know any better from eating a Carolina reaper
But I reckon this judgment should come after some derliberation
