I want a class-action suit by fat people against the Federal Government due to their faulty advice about the Food Pyramid.

Carbs are at the bottom of the food pyramid, indicating the Feds want you to eat them most.

Carbs make you fat.

Fat Kills.

Feds Killed Millions.

Sue their a$$e$ off.

“Carbs make you fat”

I know your post is of a humorous nature, but carbs only make you fat only if you eat more calories than you burn off everyday. You are repeating a fallacy that infuriates my poor wife. Gram for gram most fats have twice as many calories as carbohydrates.

My wife is a nurse and in her younger days she taught nutrition and healthy eating classes both on and off of the military bases we live near. Nothing has been more frustrating to her than these high protein diets such as the Atkins. They do a lot of harm to much of the population and spread massive amounts of misinformation. Any proposed diet that promises you can lose weight while eating more calories than you burn is promising something for nothing. That should be a big red flag to any adult. But Americans love to get something for nothing which is why we now have Obama and the DemoRATS running our country into the ground.

There are no free rides when it comes to losing weight and living healthy. Despite all the High Protein diet BS that we have been bombarded with for nearly two decades most adults still know instinctively that they should be eating a balanced diet in moderation and getting some exercise. That is the only way to stay trim and healthy. Do we really need doctor's, scientists, government funded PR and a big butted president's wife to tell us that?

A balanced diet is one that includes fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, meat, fish, poultry and some dairy type products, along with plenty of water and other healthy liquids. It is possible to leave out some of the preceding food groups if you have special requirements and can substitute with some type of supplements and careful planning. Moderation is the key of course. And it has been obvious for thousands of years that anyone who spends most of their day sitting on their fat rear end is only going to keep getting fatter. If it wasn't for all the BS we are bombarded with everyday anyone with even a little common sense could figure it out.

So to anyone who is too fat and that is most of us... change your life style. Get some exercise... get off your butt, and eat some healthy food in moderation. If most people just cut out sugary soft drinks, candy bars, salty snacks fried in oil, french fries, hot dogs, and hamburgers and took an hour out of their TV time every night and went for a walk... they would lose up to several pounds a month.
