On May 11, the White House announced it was targeting a new threat to America’s health and security. It wasn’t some rogue nation or terrorist organization, or a newfound disease or environmental threat. It was a class of chemicals that are making Americans fat. They’re called endocrine disrupting chemicals, or EDCs. And chances are you’re eating or drinking them right now.

Good grief. We should all just go out on the lawn and eat grass like cattle. Of course, then they’d find something wrong with that.
Fried Dead Chicken. Love it....
Maybe this expalins the national butger too?
There are such things as endocrine-disrupting chemicals. And they can do actual harm, particularly in fetuses and embryos. That part, at least, is accurate. How they tie in to weight loss and what are unacceptable levels, however, is still being determined.
General Jack D. Ripper: Mandrake, do you realize that in addition to adding obesogens to water, why, there are studies underway to obesogenate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Mandrake, children’s ice cream.
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Lord, Jack.
General Jack D. Ripper: You know when obesogenation first began?
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: I... no, no. I don’t, Jack.
General Jack D. Ripper: Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six, Mandrake. How does that coincide with your post-war military/industrial conspiracy, huh?
It’s incredibly obvious, isn’t it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That’s the way your private industry works.
What is a butger?
However, it's all the so called “healthy” and low-fat foods that are the problem. The chemicals they create to make up for the lack of taste in these foods are not good for anyone’s body. I struggled with keeping my weight down until I decided to just eat real foods with a high amount of natural fats. The weight just came off and has stayed off for about 12 years. I am 8 months pregnant and weigh about what I did while running on the track team in college (145 lbs). I don't really work out either. In fact, I've spent the last month on bedrest.
I NEVER buy any food that has the words “healthy, low-fat, lite, light or diet” on the label. We go through a large amount of cream, butter and whole milk every week. I buy coconut oil (a very saturated fat) by the gallon. The only one in my family who struggles at all with weight gain is my husband...and that's because he can't break the processed food & diet pop habit :).
What Michelle Obama eats.
What about the BS(hormones) that the Factory “Farmers” put in Chicken(think Tyson), Beef(Monsanto and ADM) and Milk. Anyone think that that is maybe making our girls and boys get to puberty sooner. And maybe SOME cancers too?
I think empty calories from soft drinks (and hard drinks) are a major road block for most people.
Who cares. Bread it. Deep fry it. Put it on a toasted bun with cheese and mayo... it'll be delicious. ;-)
I thought “national butger” was a reference to our beloved 1st lady. snort~
That is the worst typing job I ever did . Budget I meant
It's kinda like a henway.
Seriesly! My Beeber Refudiates your Butger!
I can’t hear you, I’m in the shower!
Never mind, you invented a new "FReeperism!" Just tell everyone that "Butger" is short for Butt-Burger.
Hey everyone! Keep Clam! I’m Series!
