There is no one-size-fits-all solution for wellness. Humans come in all shapes and sizes, which means singular policy prescriptions often fail to improve the health of Americans. In fact, government intervention often makes it harder for individuals to find a healthy path. The government’s track record on wellness is abysmal: Restrictions, bans, and taxes on particular products often have unintended consequences. Worse, they are often based on poor or misinterpreted science. Government should get out of the wellness business for the benefit of the American public.
