Nanny State PING!

[philetus]

Better food labeling could stem obesity LOL

[Mastador1]

Yeah right, so someone that has the urge to eat a quart of ice cream is going to read the label and change their mind, or that guy that’s chuggin that beer and eating the sack of Doritos will stop, read the label, and switch to Perrier and a celery stick!

[FoxInSocks]

Then why bother with that tiring exercise stuff all the time?!

[ConservativeInPA]

Just in from my advance research facility. Fat people eat too much and exercise too little. Pants should come with labels that read, “if you can’t see your junk, you eat too much and you are fat and lazy.”

[Cobra64]

See my tag line.

[3Fingas]

So would stop putting some much in your pie hole and moving around a lot more.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Yeah, label every food with a Fattening Index, some sort of ratio between calories and bulk and/or fiber.

Maybe a private organization could get a rating like that to work (Weight Watchers might be interested) but this should be out, out, OUT of Uncle Sam’s purview. The government tends to muddle nutrition wherever it sticks its dirty little fingers.

[goodnesswins]

So would ending EBT cards for anything except raw beans, rice and vegetables.

[A Navy Vet]

As always, bureaucrats need to justify their jobs.

That's my problem with politicians. From the lowliest city council member to the presidency, they all "feel" they need to fix the unbroken in the name of their legacy or some righteous ideology.

The only recourse to stopping politicians is term limits at every level.

[cableguymn]

Lets start with limiting what can be bought with a EBT card and lowering the amount you give them every month eh?

[MV=PY]

Funny!

The only folks who read them are those who care what they eat.

[dalereed]

I buy and eat what I want and never look at a label.

[C210N]

The ‘Rats following their playbook:

Gun control for the law abiding, none for the outlaws.

Food labeling for the fit, none for the fat.

Fit and law abiding, you lose liberty.

Fat outlaws continue their merry ways....

[spodefly]

I am pretty sure people that buy “Liver Cheese” don’t care how many calories it has ...

[Secret Agent Man]

yes this will make obese and overweight people stop going to mcdonalds, or if not that, just ordering salads.

i think fda has to stand for f***ing dumb asses.

[G Larry]

Here’s a hint:

Insufficient food label information IS NOT THE CAUSE OF OBESITY!!!

“Warning! If you eat the this entire 2 lb. package of cookies at a single sitting, it may lead to obesity.”

[knarf]

Madison Avenue is laughing its collective ass off.

[Sacajaweau]

Consumer scam....I went for the oatmeal with maple and brown sugar....Found out my old favorite, mini wheats and 2% milk was even healthier. I was conned!!

We're becoming suckers in the marketplace.

All that new, healthy snack crap.....just give up snacks...get off your butt and take a walk.

Take a multiple vitamin everyday.

[trebb]

Yep - labels solve everything....just ask a smoker how much attention he pays to the warning on the side of every pack.
