THBT coffee should be banned.

At one point, Pro says that coffee should be banned and on the other she agrees about giving people the choice. Pro is concerned about the “health problems” caused by drinking coffee, but forgets that these health problems are a consequence that the coffee addicts sign up for. The information evolution has advanced so much that many of the coffee addicts are aware of the risks they can face by drinking coffee. Yet again, Pro only thinks about the addicts and not about the casual coffee drinkers. Pro is also trying to remove all the “choice[s] of taking the wrong thing for your health”. She is trying to create a world where people won’t be harmed from any of the things they eat. Let me tell you, Pro, that banning coffee will not be enough. You will have to eliminate most of the spicy food due to its effect on liver, eliminate soft drinks that impose a risk of diabetes (http://www.yale.edu...), get rid of chocolate products due to tooth decay risk (http://www.student.chula.ac.th...), and remove mostly all the food products that rule our consumer markets. Here is my case (Sorry for the delay): 1) I am not all bad Banning coffee will not only take away the benefits provided by the product, but also have a very negative effect on factors controlled by coffee. Coffee offers benefits such as a refreshing taste and power that wakes many people up from their beds. It helps people stay awake in times of dullness and brings activeness in people’s life. While Pro sees these as a negative sign, I believe that these are the things that keep many of our systems working efficiently. Just banning coffee will make many of the people who rely on this product to lose that initial boost of the day or that awakening in the laziest times. Coffee is also a great product that is used as a hot beverage during the winters. It helps keep the cold away and brings hot and steamy sensations inside the cold body. However, losing this is not the only risk that banning coffee brings. Developing economies control 90% of coffee production and this production serves as “a source of livelihoods for millions of smallholders and farm workers worldwide” (http://my.ewb.ca...). Banning coffee would result in all these people getting tremendously effected. Many developing nations have a large portion of their economy being run by coffe production and the halting of this production will lead to great economic downfall in those economies. Additionally, all those small farmers will then have to look for other jobs in this unemployment heavy world. I do not believe that Pro will be willing to place these families in the hands of dearth. 2) Just a sip Pro has paid a lot of attention to those who abuse this product and get in a daily addiction, but has forgotten about the people who just grab coffee occasionally for a casual drink. Many of us just like to grab a coffee once in a while for a change. If Pro also wants to take this product away from us because it might be harmful for us, then Pro will be taking away all our rights from us. Today, she will take this away and then tomorrow our video games, then our movies, then our soft drinks, our chocolate, and all the other things that we consume in pleasure. 3) And Jill came tumbling after It will be a chain of events that will lead to a nightmare. The dominos will all fall one after the other, taking away our rights and privileges. If the state starts controlling things that effect our health, they will start going in more and more. There will soon be a time when we will not be able to consume anything that even has a slight effect on our health. The truth is that there does not exist any consumable product in this world that will not effect us negatively in one way or another. One ban will lead to further bans. We will just be tumbling down the hill. If one wishes to ignore all the benefits of coffee and all the negatives that will be caused after its removal, not even have access to a sip of coffee, and give away their liberties of choice they may cast a vote in Pro’s favor. Which I will not urge one to do.
