How much control do you have over whether or not you breath?

That's a clear example of you, as an adult, not having full control over what goes into your mouth. How much control do you have over what comes out of your mouth? Have you heard of foreign accent syndrome?

What control do you have over what your grocery store stocks? What control do you have over how much the food at your grocery store costs? How much control do you have over how much money you make?

All of these things contribute to what you end up putting into your mouth. But also, you don't have to imagine this, Just look up what percentage of the population is "overweight", and look up how that number has changed since we as a society went into a moral panic about it.
