cheese bans, more than just "protecting people"?

Do you think that laws like the raw cheese or mimolette bans are being reinforced currently simply to keep people safe or to punish cheese connoisseurs? Laws like that are designed to destroy the American dream that is what that is about, destroying peoples will. Destroying peoples hopes and dreams. Giving them a forbidden fruit like desire for something they will never get. Same idea behind prohibition and probably part of the reason for our current addiction problem. It brings these things, mere commodity's to legendary status in the people. But that's just conjecture, isn't it.
