No, I just don't put a lot of credence into Officers of Public Health. I agree it is a strong analogy - but definitely not a straw man. Many bad things are done in the name of "good" public health. Maybe using the public health argument is the straw man?

(I never mentioned Nazi's who are hardly comparable to McLung or the people of the 29 states who passed the U.S. laws or Sweden. Eugenics was a perfectly plausible but ultimately incorrect Public Health policy adopted by many good people.)

And wasn't that OMG's original point? At least that is the point I was agreeing with and that is, that I hardly think that the health benefits or walking or cycling are anything more than but one of a plethora of factors to go into road planning.
