Kennedy took the due-process argument to heart, rooting his analysis in the right to a zone of personalliberty into which the government may not intrude.
As for the veggies, I suppose such forced feeding would indeed be an invasion of personalliberty, but making you pay for them would not, just as making you pay for a gym membership which you can afford but do not use would not.
How about principled arguments about what "good government" looks like and the proper balance between personal economic security and individual liberty?
