M&Ms are symbolic of basically candy shaped into funny shapes. If it wasn't that form of candy, it'd be something else. There is no known precedent for fascists trying to ban candy. The fascist solution to the problem has always involved aggressive media promotion of fitness, physical education in schools, and inspections at work, to keep people from gaining weight.
Regulations can also be placed on the table for limiting packet sizes.
All of this is an aside, since neither of us even eat those forms of candy anyway. I'm fine with just lollipops if they have a pink swirl on them. Or pocky. Or cake.
But seriously, all jokes aside, the issue is that you democratic socialists seem to want to prevent the sale of luxury items, and when you start doing that, you are killing part of the incentive for people to bother working for you.
You really should have responded to what I said about the 'smart towns' project, rather than responding to the point about M&Ms.
