Governments should limit the size of sugary drink containers to improve public health (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

Nowadays there are different opinions about the controlling the size of sugary drink containers by the governments. Some people say that is should be limited to improve public health. Others, on the contrary, claim that state doesn't have to interfere in this matter. Let me express my own opinion.

To my mind, governments should not limit the size of beverages we consume. Everyone should have the right to choose what he wants to drink and how much of it he wants to consume. It is the freedom of choice that all people should have and practice. Those who are overweight and have health problems should change the type of products they consume.

However, there are people who have the opposing opinion. They think that governments should control our health choices. They believe that a lot of people cannot make a proper choice by themselves, so someone have to do it instead of them.

This attitude assumes that consumers are not responsible with the products they buy.

I am sure that attempts of governments to control the size of beverages we buy and drink mean decreasing the freedom of consumer choice. It probably would not work because people will try to get what they want illegally, spending more time and money. Prohibitions will not stop all of them.
