It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I'll push back a bit and say that zoning is a contributing factor to all of these things, but isn't going to be the singular cause. Obesity, for example, clearly has to do with diet, which has to do with subsidies for some foods over others (and other factors).

But yes, zoning is very important and desperately needs reform.
