This is what will be pushed with Obamacare. Heavily.

everyone would be allowed a certain allotment of certain foods

A leftist mental disorder starts in childhood and is commonly triggered by birthday and Christmas trauma, primarily envy over the visible size of someone's slice of birthday cake or Christmas gifts. "No fair! His cake is bigger than mine!" Leftism develops from a sense of being on the left side of the bell curve in life. The nature of envy is not to acquire what someone else has but to destroy what they have. There is nothing leftists won't envy: money, cars, house, family, health, beauty, brains, fitness, friends, and in this case: food. If a leftist must be on a salt or calorie restricted diet, everyone must be. It all goes back to "No fair! His cake is bigger than mine!" They are convinced true happiness is only possible if everyone is exactly the same in every possible respect.

The antidote to leftist envy is mockery. Make fun of leftists and their envy at every opportunity. Counter a leftist's painful feelings of envy by inducing in them equally painful feelings of shame.

The key to our “liberal”, “progressive”, leftist friends: they have to control everything. I truly believe it. Freedom and your right to choose is the thing they dislike the most.

One of the first thing a cult will do with a new member is control their food, especially meat.

Meat eaters have a tendency to think for themselves, and when it's all about control you can't have people thinking for themselves.

Cults will reward followers that fall into line with food.

When you control the food, people are forced to follow.

It's all about absolute power hiding behind “we're doing it for your own good”.

The LIFE Act would give the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention $25 million

“train health professionals to recognize the signs of obesity early”

“conduct public education campaigns about how to recognize and address overweight and obesity”

Is it really that difficult to recognize obesity early and then hand out printouts for exercise and diet?

If the liberal justification for this nonsense is the Commerce Clause, then we DEFINITELY need to discuss a new Amendment to the Constitution. Soon.

to reintroduce her Lifelong Improvements in Food and Exercise (LIFE) Act

This is a perfect example of what is so wrong with our government, and more specifically, with our politicians.

Our government is populated with self-important morons who desperately want to get a new law created that has their name on it, and/or has some stupid, catchy acronym like "LIFE".

The sheer number of inane, pointless, and egragious laws passed by the collection of egotistical imbeciles in government is incredible.

Boehner will say he is outraged, and then look to make a deal.

There must be no problems in the economy, and in the international arena. Rapes and murders must be nearly non-existent. Taxes must be very low. There must be no looming fiscal crisises, and Social Security must be safe for 1000 years.

Because, if this is what this loon is worried about, the above BETTER be true.

D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton

Guys: SHE'S NOT EVEN A REAL MEMBER OF CONGRESS!

She's the "delegate" from DC! What place does she have introducing legislation for the States? She doesn't even live in a state!

This right here is the reason the damn communists want to make DC a state: it is FULL of communists just like "Bull" Holmes-Norton.

“train health professionals to recognize the signs of obesity early...”


How much training do you need to identify the early stages of “Dunlap Syndrome?”

Of course, we all know that “Dunlap” is the condition where your belly dun lapped over your belt buckle.

Seems we’re getting closer all the time to having to meet in the town square in our Mao suits for morning calisthenics and public show of adoration for Dear Leader.
