The solution to global warming? Big government and central planning.

The solution to gun violence? Big government and central planning.

The solution to high medical care prices? Big government and central planning.

The solution to gun violence? Big government and central planning.

Overcoming the many barriers to achieving healthy nutrition worldwide, the researchers argue, will instead require an unprecedented level of joint planning and action between academia, government, civil society and industry.

The solution to both hunger and obesity? Once again, no surprise. I read book 3 of the Hunger Games, but unlike big government liberals, I did not see District 13 as a desirable utopia.

“joint planning and action between academia, government, civil society and industry.
In particular, the authors of the papers in the PNAS special feature propose an ambitious plan to remake the ways food is grown, processed, distributed, sold and consumed.”

Yeah, a food system based on soviet principles WOULD take care of the ‘obesity’ problem!

When you are standing in the express line with a pound of hamburger and the 300 pound plus person ahead of you... has huge T-Bone steaks, doughnuts and cheesecake they pay for with Food Stamps, you really do wonder?

It’s analogous to the Shakespearean approach to perfect justice — “kill all the lawyers”. If we’d have a zero tolerance policy toward the various public scolds and other jackoffs who manage to make good money criticizing the food producers, who at least work for a living, we’d have better nutrition, better overall health, and improvements in longevity.

Thanks Tolerance Sucks Rocks.
