The food industry is vital to your health and while the content of the food is regulated and monitored the food industry itself is not NEARLY as regulated as the health care system.
I don't see people complaining about their choices of food... even the quality of food is very rarely called into question... and that's only natural considering just how much food is consumed on a daily basis.
There are more complaints with heavily regulated industries than industries with little to no regulation.

I don't have time to go tit-for-tat with everything you have stated here, but on a few points, your position is conflicting. For example, the need for healthcare to be provided to EVERYONE regardless of pre-existing conditions, IS PRECISELY what the Obama compromise was all about. In order to prevent the cost of the few, causing catastrophic rate hikes for everyone, is precisely WHY this plan requires EVERYONE to buy into the system, so the burden is shared overall.
Also, your contention that healthcare MUST be provided through your employer, is no longer such a big deal under Obama's plan, where INDIVIDUALS are required to procure their own coverage, provided their employer does not, or if they prefer to go it alone.
The Obama plan actually makes your coverage "portable" as well, just so you are NOT totally beholden to your employer.
And before we get into the government doing a great job regulating our food supply, I have just one word for you: Monsanto.
