Whoa....there it is folks. All the laws are going to be in place. Look at what they are talking about here!!!!

Glenn Beck wanted to know what the fascination about food is all about....well here it is in all its controlling freakish glory. Somebody get this to Glenn, because control of the food...control of your food...is around the corner.

I’d sooner see a perhaps 10% discount off of health insurance (and may Obamacare quickly die the death, thank you) for all who walk at least four miles a week. And leave their dadgum hands OFF of our food. Our groceries don’t look any more unhealthy than they did in a less pudgy yesteryear.

Humans evolved to do hard physical work, and suffer through periodic famines. It was necessary to pack on a few pounds, during times of plenty; in order to survive the inevitable famine.

In today's world, we have machines (largely powered by fossil fuels) to do most of the hard physical work. Modern agricultural technology, combined with modern transportation and food preservation, has largely eliminated famine.

The combined forces of socialists, environmentalists, and nanny-staters will solve the above problems.

“The average person cannot maintain a healthy weight in this obesity-promoting environment.”

The country will continue to fall into decline until we get to the place were we admit that far too often we use the words I CANNOT instead of the correct phrase which is I DO NOT WANT TO!

Just try it in the following statements and you see why we’re in the shape we’re in (pun intended!)

I CANNOT maintain a healthly weight...
I CANNOT live within my means....
I CANNOT stay faithful to my spouse....
I CANNOT save any money for retirement....
I CANNOT stop viewing pornography on the internet....
I CANNOT teach my children responsibility and discipline...

Yes! Yes! Someone else is to blame for my steady diet of bacon cheeseburgers, nachos, pop tarts, and Pepsi.

And I know who. It's the corporations! The corporations are to blame.

Thank goodness the government will now make everything better for me. I trust the government to watch out for my best interests, especially since I'm incapable of doing it for myself.

And please pass the super-sized onion rings before the government declares them illegal.

I wonder what the left’s response would be if a similar 478-page report started out with the word “AIDS” instead of “obesity”?

The obese are a problem, and the obese are a voting block. What to do? I’ve got it! We’ll just say it isn’t their fault and that there’s a “smartest-guy-in-the-room” government solution for making Jabba-the-Hut look like Matt Damon! Now the fatties won’t be mad, and we are looking like we are doing something. In fact, we can grab more power and money while we’re at it. Whee!

I have wanted to write a weight loss book for quite a while. It seems too short to publish, so I will post it here for free:

If calories consumed > calories burned weight gain will occur. If calories consumed < calories burned weight loss will occur. If calories consumed = calories burned neither gain nor loss of weight will occur.

SO why don’t they just ban the sale of fat foods to fat people, just like alcohol/tobacco can’t be sold to minors.

Since the .gov is ready to jump on the blame game, how about dishing out a healthy portion of the blame to the USDA (government) food pyramid?

That is a sure recipe for diabetes and obesity...

(have they replaced it with a ‘plate’ or something lately?)

Beck already knows.
Within the next week or two he will have another “bakery show” to prove it.

I love those!

Shortly after the report was released, the Center for Consumer Freedom, which is funded by restaurant, food and other industries, condemned the IOM as joining forces with the nation's "food nannies."

However, the IoM is not some beknighted group working in white lab coats fro your benefit. Read here.

Some quotes:

In falsely reporting this study from the IoM, however, the old media reporters never bothered to even read the adverse reactions report. Nor did they ask a few simple questions such as "Who is funding the Institute of Medicine? And what is the agenda of the IoM?"

Today, NaturalNews publishes a stunning story about the IoM which reveals this government-created non-profit to be a key player in the military medical complex involving a shady network of weapons manufacturers, the Department of Homeland Security, top pharmaceutical companies and population control globalists such as Bill Gates. Here, we expose who's giving the IoM money and why the actual sources of funding behind the IoM destroy any credibility it once claimed to have on the subject of public health.

Even the Washington Legal Foundation (http://www.wlf.org), a group that advocates free choice in health care (and personal freedom in general), charged that the FDA could not legally accept recommendations from the Institute of Medicine because the committee members put forth by the IoM did not meet the lawful requirement of being "fairly balanced."

"Using advice from a committee that lacks fair balance encroaches upon Congress' mandate that each Advisory Committee should be representative of a broad range of viewpoints and should include affected individuals," said WLF Chief Counsel Richard Samp after filing WLF's Citizen Petition. (http://www.policymed.com/2011/07/institute-of-medicine-fda-510k-advis...)

If this was calculated on a measure of body fat rather than the stupid BMI, I might be more inclined to believe there is a problem. As for the heroin chic purveyors of that nonsense, I have never been less than "overweight" because of muscle and bone mass.

Now, I may have a little 'reserve' (most of which will be gone by summer's end), but can still lift over 100 lbs and walk away with it. Not bad for a great-grandpa.

Get between an old dog and his dinner dish, and you might get bit.
