More ‘science-based’ food regulation coming your way.

Michelle says we’re supposed to eat more argugala or something equally disgusting.

Hard to take scientists seriously when they come up with such tripe as this.
Racist! Bigot! Homophobe!
If I had to eat what the liberals tell me to I’d rather be dead.
Laugh it up funny guy. Just eat some junk food and don't come complaining to me if you wake up dead sometime after that.

What you eat or do has much less impact than genetics.

She isn't FIRST in anything worth talking about, and she surely ain't a LADY!
Oh, no. I had one last year.
Ok. I’m not promoting junk good here though. I avoid baked goods & processed meats. Some junk food isn’t that much unhealthy in moderation.
Let’s take Norwegian folks for example. They eat lots of fish and get good omega 3’s . They have lower incidences of heart attacks but higher incidences of brain hemmoraging.
Americans have less deaths due to brain hemmoraging but more due to heart attacks.
In the end the reaper still gets its quota .

Be prepared for some real whopper lies about food coming soon.
