Once again, government is trying to solve a problem that it helped to create, papering over its own idiocy.

The fact is that our bad eating habits are getting encouraged by taxpayer money.

No Sugar. No Grains. No Processed foods. Obesity, diabetes and heart disease go away.

This works for me. Yes, I could be thinner, but for a post-menopausal woman, I'm VERY healthy!

The war against American farmers by the uneducated urban elite continues.

In the EU, 40% of their entire budget goes to agri-subsidies. Not so in America. Is everyone in the EU overweight, too?

In America, only 2% of the population farm. 80% of the farm “subsidy” bill goes directly to fund food stamps. Around 70% of farmers don’t receive subsidies at all, and of those that do, most is in the form of crop insurance subsidies.

In the world market, carbohydrates can be sold for much more overseas, creating domestic shortages and driving prices for both protein and carbohydrates up. Think North Korea or Red China.

Also in the world market, carbohydrates can be imported into America for less than our farmers can grow it. Think Brazilian corn syrup versus domestically produced corn syrup.

While importing Brazilian ethanol or Chinese carbohydrates seems the most capitalistic move, what happens when the Brazilian sugar fields get a blight, or America gets outbid, or China throws a hissy fit and now there are no farms in America left to take up the slack - and nobody left who even knows how to farm?

Price supports allow 2% of our population to make a liveable wage for their 24/7/365 work, keeps farms viable, and keeps fresh, safe product readily available and affordable locally.

It’s not farmers or farm “subsidies” that make people fat.

So, show some love to the American farmers, who preserve the knowledge of animal and land husbandry, who guarantee our ability to feed ourselves in a world crisis, and who’s efforts result in cheaper overall costs to taxpayers exporting millions of tons of free USAID food annually to a hungry world.

Don’t wait for the government. Take care of yourself. Find a diet that works for you. Make it a habit. It works.
