I have a food policy too.
It is:
I like to eat, whatever, whenever and however I want and woe be to whoever tries to interfere with it.
Hmm...I understand that one’s diet, along with smoking habits, reliance on pharmaceutical products, and other personal health matters are a sensitive topic. There is no need to be up in arms though.
Ms. Williamson has no chance of winning the nomination and we all remain free to browse the supermarket aisles as we wish and eat all the produce, corn, and grains produced in this country to our heart’s content.
That being said, whether we are a private or public system, there is no denying that we all share the burden of healthcare costs. And applying a consistent, conservative ethic to the challenge means raising the issue of PERSONAL responsibility for one’s health. Or as Rod Dreher of The American Conservative puts it, ‘pulling our weight both literally and metaphorically.’
For some, this may mean: avoiding processed foods, baking our own bread, avoiding bromated and glyphosate-laden flours, incorporating physical activity to offset reliance on drugs, etc...
This also means applying the same skepticism and weariness to corporations that we do the State. Look at BOEING’s latest debacle in aviation for example. What makes us think that Monsanto and Opioid-producers don’t also have the worst elements of human nature get in the way of their ability to serve consumer interests? We are allowed to demand better quality food, less toxic cosmetics and cleaning products, etc... Because compared to other first world countries, we are behind in this regard.
That is all. :)
