The Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) may soon be telling you what you should eat to reduce your “carbon footprint.”
In order to—ostensibly—prevent global warming and reduce our national carbon footprint, Washington is already telling Americans what light bulbs they can buy, and what buildings in which they should want to live and work. Now, food could be the next frontier.
Currently, the USDA and HHS are drafting their 2015 Dietary Guidelines. Every five years, the USDA and HHS issue recommendations for Americans on what constitutes a healthy diet.

I believe this is now the 4th story just a matter of a few weeks on the need to control the food for one reason or another.
We’ve heard how Americans are wasting too much food denying the rest of the world food.
Now it’s control the food because of “Global Warming” or whatever that want to call it this week.
I guess it’s just a coincidence during the 1990’s the Clintons started a campaign that Americans wasted too much food and now Hillary’s big campaign is govt intervention to stop “Global Warming”.
Yep, just a coincidence.
There are no areas of our lives big goverment will not seek to rule. If anyone thinks otherwise, they are a fool.
In fact, I challenge anyone to name one part of their individual lives that government doesn’t regulate or have influence in.
It cannot be done. We’re not even citizens anymore. We’re subjects.
Environ-MENTAL Nanny State PING!
Thanks for the ping!
They got the food pyramid for us. How many lives did that save?
