My son was allergic to wheat, corn, peanuts and milk. If the USDA or anyone else had presumed to substitute the foods I packed for him without consulting me, he might have gone into anaphylactic shock.
Thank God we were able to send him to a private school, or he might have been drugged with Ritalin in the gubmint schools before we could have his food allergies diagnosed -- the symptoms were similar: very overactive, itchy, couldn't sit still, rubbing eyes and ears constantly, irritable and excitable. Thank God another parent convinced me to have him tested for food allergies.
He got allergy shots for years as a kid, but his intellect is doing fine (finishing a doctoral dissertation this month). Yet even the private school was exasperated with his behavior before the diagnosis and treatment. After his diet was adjusted, he did great throughout school and work.
So, lessee . . . . . . the government has invaded our bathrooms and told us how much water we can use per flush. And, yet, with a drought, reservoirs are STILL going dry.
They invaded our living rooms to tell us what kind of light bulbs we can use. And, Mr. and Mrs. America are discovering that the CFLs are more dangerous and toxic than ANY incandescent.
Now, as part of the Obama's totalitarian regime, government food police are confiscating the lunches purchased and prepared by parents because the children don't want or won't eat the "nutritious slop" prepared by union school cafeteria workers (that Moochelle wouldn't let her own kids eat!).
Do we see a problem, hre??
This is what results from socialized medicine... your personal health and lifestyle become everyone else’s business. No-one wants to pay for someone else’s excesses, habits, or depravity. Just wait. If Obamacare stays law, you will soon be told not only what to eat, but what to drive, what to do, and how to do it... all in the name of saving the taxpayers from the having to bear the cost of your individuality.
Here we go again!
Nanny State PING!
IT'S ABOUT THE CONTROL!
