But "high calorie foods" could be anything, it starts to more severely punish people who understand moderation  And people who understand what these foods are meant to provide and who are they for. A high calorie diet is perfectly fine if you work the field 14 hours a day like my grandparents did. If i ate the same way while working my office job i'd be the size of a car by now. There's nothing wrong with eating any amount of calories if you have a lifestyle to match it, but that all boils down to personal responsibility as you said.
