Get the skinny on the fat police and food cops at the Nanny State Liberation Front on Facebook and nannystateliberationfront.net.
During First Nanny Michelle Obama's kick-off speech for the launch of her “Let’s Move!” anti-obesity crusade on January 29, she revealed, “We know what has led to the obesity epidemic, you know. We know inside — I mean, we’re still learning, but we kinda know.” (See: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukjlM-KpH14 -- Fast forward to 40:37-40:46)
Keep in mind, when President George W. Bush said he knew that Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction and used that premise as a launching point to liberate Iraq, he landed himself in a heap of trouble for making policy decisions based on what critics decried was an erroneous assumption and extreme error in judgment. Lucky for Mrs. Obama, the harshest critics of President Bush are her biggest fans and supporters, so she should have no problem pulling our nation in to another costly battle against a ‘self-created’ enemy threat.

Maybe we should stop subsidizing corn. Maybe high fructose corn syrup should be banned - it serves NO legitimate purpose. If it makes it cheap to sweeten something, then maybe we're better of it's made from good old fashioned, expensive REAL sugar. How about if we stop allowing the use of salt as a preservative or flavoring? We have refrigerators, freezers, herbs and spices. Duh. And while we're at it, perhaps someone can explain why fruits and vegetables just absolutely have to be sprayed with poison.
It seems to me that the applied sciences, as applied to food, have been a dismal, dismal failure. It's one of the only areas where I'm ashamed to be American The food we sell, and therefore eat, is crap. Pure crap. And now we're all fat and dying from diabetes and heart failure.
The new American Dream is to live long enough to pay off your mortgage.

Most people I have met have no idea what makes something healthy or just don't care. They don't understand why eating healthy is just not some hippy fad. Others think anything with vegetables in them are healthy even if they are covered in salad dressing and other unhealthy things. We need better education.

I would like to support your call to make junk food including Sodas more costly, while making fruits and vegetables more affordable. People who don't have enough cash are unfortunately the ones forced to eat unhealthily because stuff with all the sugar, fats, and salt is the cheapest things on the market and the most accessible. Let us get a bill to tax unhealthy foods just like we made Tobacco more expensive.
