I think that too many of us eat too much AND the government programs are a waste of money and time.

The feds encouraged people to move from a meat/fat diet to a starch/sugar diet. People are way fatter now.

Through taxation, women left the home, and kitchen, and into the tax producing labor market. Good for the government, bad for the family dynamics and food health. Again government not just being in err, but manufacturing problems, which of course require new government powers, jobs, moneys and such. I'd say for the government, the perfect environment would be a public housing slum. These are basically pathological patterning factories that produce human problems year after year for decades and generations.

No messed up people, no need for government agencies/jobs/budgets. We can't have that now can we?

I agree completely. Most people consume more calories than they burn; most people are fat; the government should stay out of it; nothing the government will do would work anyway.
