Correction, I am an individual. I am not part or or will be a part of this conceptual borg collective you describe that takes away free thought, speech, religion, self defense and utterly free will.
Ask 10 people in 10 cites what they deem healthy and unhealthy and you will get 100 different answers. Do you honestly thing that the NWO would allow things that could lead to 'unhealthyness' to even be allowed for people to be consumed?
I will concede that some of the things you describe in you concept of NWO would be beneficial. However, those are things that can occur from technological progress alone without revoking constitutional rights. The idea of integrated smart highways and vehicles that utilize the technologies you describe are what I envision the future without your NWO would be like.
It seems you may have been swept away by the technology and sci-fi aspect of this whole thing.

Why do you think it will take away that? You've obviosly been wathing too much tv and your scope of vision has been greatly affected.
Ask 10 people? Why not ask a central authority derived from doctors, philosophers and fitness trainers? An NWO Department of Health. You speak of the NWO as if it is some type of central evil supercomputer, like VIKI from I, Robot... why?
Today, it is illegal for many things to be consumed: Certain mushrooms, moonshine, dogs, cats, many drugs, plants, endangered species. The list goes on and on. You are delusional if you are under the impression that you can consume what you want to today without consequences. Just have a look at how the military monitors and requires personel to maintain a certain level of physical fitness. It is not envasive at all. People would still have the "freedom" to become extremely obese, just like they have the "freedom" to speed. The unhealthy by choice will be fined accordingly for the benefit of society.
Is that the slogan that goes on the poster? Right next to the one "Verboten: Schlechte, Schmutzige Juden"
The NWO is not a force to restrict you, it is a force to free you.
Don't be like people from another thread who are crying out "they are taking our liberties" only because police are asking the owners of houses in crime laden neighborhoods if they can check for illegal weapons and drugs.
The NWO is about working together as nations, as communities, and as people.

How will people agree to become part of something different?
Usually throughout the history it was done by "the worse it gets -the better" tactics, so a lot of people will suffer before this unification could be reached.
What will counterbalance such a government?
Since there will be nothing outside to monitor/oppose it, the down-slide to Totalitarianism is unavoidable.
Will it really ensure survival of a Human race?- it might eliminate global nuclear conflict threat, but progress itself will eliminate us as a species.
And the question that worries me personally the most - who will be "declared" the enemy ,the one to be blamed for all the mistakes/miscalculations of the ruling class? You have to have an enemy withing, if there is none without.
And last, since Order is the goal,the need to achieve it will bring a need of huge bureaucratic apparatus which will only bring disorder, due to corruption and interference of influential groups with certain interests.
It all happened in the last attempt to create an utopia, but there was at least a hope of escaping.
Where will person escape (or hope to escape) if it will be a united planet?

Obviously groups of people who feel that they have the right to make other people suffer will be considered the first enemy.
I assume you're referring to Nazi Germany, which everybody seems to oddly want to equate with the NWO for no apparent reason other than fear of the unknown.

First, we are not talking about mind altering substances, we are talking about food that provides nutritional value, protein, carbohydrates etc., despite how much or little. Your NWO would not allow anything that could be bad to exist.
And when they come in without a warrant, that is the loss of the fourth amendment rights there. One liberty gone, what else?
What kind of hippy socialist bull is that?!
Or how about when citizens, county and state governments cooperate? The problem today is that ordinary citizens don't wish to cooperate with their community on the basis of some anti-social "privacy."
