Bump to your post so that I can research this product.
About a year ago, my husband and I decided that our family would go on a real food diet. We ate pretty healthy to begin with, but we were relying on some processed foods using the “it’s not that bad” excuse. We now make our own bread, flour tortillas, cereal, mayonnaise, ketchup, etc. We’ve been able to cut out so much processed food this way. I really believe it’s been a great decision for us. Plus we can avoid soy and corn products, which I really feel are pretty bad for us in the quantities that processed foods contain. Just my 2¢! No scientific background, just an average mommy using her own observations!

How about “should the government be interfering so much in the affairs of the citizens?” The answer to that is easy, {expletive} no! We don’t need some nanny, socialist, fascist-wannabe government telling us how to live our lives. Freedom, liberty, remember those concepts?
After the government goes on a diet and loses about 50% or more of its own fat butt, then they can explain obesity to us.
chips, diet soda, female hormones flooding the water supply.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness except when such pursuit involves an unhealthy diet and lifestyle that could lead to anything other than a slim, fit, metrosexual body —That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed for the first century of so until the gullible governed can be hoodwinked or coerced into accepting a bloated, tyrannical nanny-state, -
Government should do “something” if you want people to get fatter.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m sure she says “It’s because I have a glandular problem.” ....yea, the gland located between her nose and her chin is hyperactive!
Hear, Hear! All-ah snackbar!
What is there to debate?
There are a lot of obese people out there who choose to be obese.
I think its a bad choice and it bothers the heck out of me and maybe even grosses me out when I see some obese people.
But I need to get over that because I wasn’t put on this planet to be angry with other people and lashing out at them by wanting to use the power of government.
I have my own issues to take care of.
I need to mind my own business and the government needs to stay out of everybody’s business.
I think obese people need to change but its not my job to control them or hurt them. They are already hurting because they choose food as a pain reliever like others choose to use alcohol, drugs, prescription drugs, gambling, credit cards, pornography and the list goes on.
The obese have issues to deal with and they have to deal with the issues themselves.
No. But since they’ve taken over health care (or will have soon), they will.
“Should the Government Do Something about Obesity?”
Absolutely!
First assemble a “Gang of Fourteen” Senators and Representatives, headed by Gerald Nadler. Have them write a 1,835 page piece of legislation called “Healthier Obesity Reduction: Students, Educators, Seniors Heading Into Tomorrow” (acronym available upon request), more commonly to be referred to as the “Comprehensive Obesity Bill”. Pass said bill in the dead of the night after every legislator has had a chance to add a pet project into it, and be sure to slip in a few new surveillance features to make sure nobody’s sneaking a Big Mac into their bedroom at night.
Allocate $457 billion that we don’t have (but can either print or borrow from the Chinese) to implement the program.
Hire 27,000 new IRS agents to enforce the bill, and force every business with more than 3 employees to establish workplace obesity reduction guidelines, with monthly reporting (we’ll keep the forms down to 17 pages) to insure timely compliance.
Ask Michelle Obama to provide menu suggestions, and then require every school, hospital, church supper and the like to enforce them with the threat of withdrawal of federal funds and/or tax exempt status if that requirement is not followed.
And that’s just the start!
Sorry, but these are two completely different subjects
Thank you. That was my first thought when I read the article. It infuriates me to see these trashy looking obese people at my supermarket at the start of the month filling their cart with crap I won't buy or eat myself, even though I have to pay for theirs. Nothing healthy in the cart. No fruits nor vegetables. Mostly sugared soft drinks, cake, frozen pizza. And no, orange soda is not a fruit, Cheez Doodles are not a dairy product nor a good source of calcium. The government is giving them our money to buy them crap so they can get fat.
I think that the gov’t pushing people to eat more carbs and less fat and protein has caused some of the problem. Everyone is different, and I know I do much better on a high protein diet. I have seen some people literally have no fat in their diet and I tell them that their brain needs some fat to function.
NO!
This is going to end with concentration camps, fat camps, and when that fails to reeducate the morbidly obese, they will build gas chambers. A society that has so easily accepted abortion shouldn’t have a problem with getting rid of fat, ugly people.
