Because it is the truth? What’s that Orwell quote?

Because common sense is like deodorant. Those that need it the most don’t use it.

Not sure all that it has to do with food, but, see my long-time tagline:

[rarestia]

Wife and I have dropped a lot of weight thanks to no/low carb diets. America’s problem is that food that’s good for us is expensive and requires preparation. We also view “dieting” not as a lifestyle change but as a temporary condition to get us to a point where we can go back to our old ways.

“Why is common sense so controversial?”\

---

Because if people (and government, which is composed of people) were to employ common sense to the cause of solving their many and varied problems, then we wouldn’t need our “betters” to tell us how to live our lives. It is, fundamentally, about power. The elites (mostly self-appointed, BTW) have a bedrock contempt for the average person, and believe that they have a right to dictate to all of the Joe and Jane Sixpacks out there how to live their lives - from how much to pay in taxes, to the curriculum of your children’s schools, to minute and detailed regulations regarding energy, cars, the plumbing in your home, your light bulbs, etc., etc., etc.

Apply common sense, and these people won’t feel so superior to you anymore - oh, and as a side benefit, they will have to get real jobs.

The poorest people are now the most likely to be obese. I don’t think this has ever happened before, it’s like something out of Swift. It’s hard to imagine them choosing the hardship sustained civil unrest would bring, at least while these conditions exist.

This explains it rather well:

...Diversity is an anti-religion, and anti-ideology, a nepotism which promotes everything except one’s own family. 

Diversity therefore equals the destruction of any and all religions and of all positive ideologies.

Because Diversity can only be destructive: whatever IS is insufficiently or inexactly diverse. 
Whatever IS must therefore be destroyed in order to make it MORE Diverse. 
And there is no conceivable or measurable end to it. Yesterday’s Diversity is today’s intolerable lack of Diversity.

Diversity is the destruction of Good; and it is the destruction of all types of Good - however defined. All are chewed up and spat out by Diversity.

Diversity is the promotion of chaos by the destruction of Good; and then there-naming of chaos as Good.

Because The Left has worked hard over past 8 years to get rid of it?

Most fruits and some vegetables have lots of carbs.
