But no state can remain content merely to provide conditions of peace and order. The purpose of the State is to create that atmosphere which may for growth and development. The State performs certain functions in order to achieve its purpose. It is one of the important functions of the State to see what its citizens consume. Every State is vitally concerned with the health of its people, as the are the health of the State. The weak, the infirm, and the destitute cannot be good citizens, and a State inhabited by such people is society, economically, and politically a cripple. It is the duty of the State to see that its nationals get sufficient and wholesome food to eat. It must also see that the people are adequately provided for, especially during times of crisis and emergency, with the requisite necessaries of life and that, too, at a reasonable level of prices. At the same time, the State may, for reasons of health of the people, either prohibit or restrict the use of certain commodities like liquor and other intoxicants.
