#1 Why not outlaw desserts as well? I guarantee there's a lot more sugar in a slice of carrot cake than there is in a can of Pepsi.

Which is the entire point.

#8 OK, no soda. But we're still allowed shoot each other over business deals gone bad and slights to our dignity, right?

#12 "Ofergawdsake, how did any of us ever reach adultery without this kind of politicians looking out for us?"

Good parents/parenting. Or growing up w/o them and bearing the consequences.
