Government Spends Money to Create Obesity Epidemic & Then Regulates Us to “Help”
Political Outcast ^ | July 3, 2014 | Mark Horne

I mentioned two days ago the decision of schools to ban birthday cupcakes. Michelle Obama is essentially fighting with students to get them to change what they eat.

But what is missing from this story is the proper context. The fact is that our bad eating habits are getting encouraged by taxpayer money. In fact, the government arguably changed our dietary habits to their present behavior.

The Foundation for Economic Education came out with an article yesterday about dealing with “food deserts.”

Yep. You go be smug, and spread your fetish elsewhere.

BTW, you are going to die, too. Just like all the rest of us.

And you keep trusting that the FDA is telling you the truth about food.

The FDA recommended taking fat out of our diet. They substituted sugar and starches for fat. And obesity, heart diseaes and diabetes skyrocked. Just a coincidence. Right.

But keep your blinders on and trust the government.

Don’t wait for the government. Take care of yourself. Find a diet that works for you. Make it a habit. It works.

You don't know me.

I don't have much use for the unconstitutional department of food and drugs.

I damn sure don't listen to them any more than I listen to the rantings of a 'true believer' who got his information off the internet.
