Under Obie we have Nanny State on steroids!!!

We were warned that the passing of Obamacare would put the regulation writing agencies into overdrive, all under the disguise of "controlling health".

The report is open for public comment for 45 days, and will be used as the basis by the government agencies to develop the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The guidelines are used as the basis for government food assistance programs, nutrition education efforts, and for making “decisions about national health objectives.”

DGAC proposed a variety of solutions to address obesity, and its promotion of what it calls the “culture of health.”

“The persistent high levels of overweight and obesity require urgent population- and individual-level strategies across multiple settings, including health care, communities, schools, worksites, and families,” they said.

Americans should:

Avoid Salt

Avoid Saturated Fat

Eat a high carb diet (food pyramid)

Oh, never mind.

[Albion Wilde]

Hitler did all kinds of “health” stuff as well. Worship of the body instead of enrichment of the soul.

This is the Soylent Green committee?

I recommend that the Nanny Staters follow the beeswax diet and mind their own.

Sorry for the harsh language.

Freaking facsists. Electronic monitoring time spent in front of the TV is the same as Orwell’s Telescreens from “1984”. These fascists would probably not mind requiring webcams so they can make sure you are doing you daily gov’t mandated exercises just as in “1984”.

[Buckeye McFrog]

and electronic monitoring of how long Americans sit in front of the television.

Just in time for a generation that consumes all of it's video diversion on wireless devices and mobile phones.

BRILLIANT!!!!!!

Sorry, folks, my little transformer is all out of transformation. How about the feds mind their own GD business for once?

Totalitarianism: a political system in which the state holds total authority over the society and seeks to control all aspects of public and private life wherever possible.

I've looked everywhere in the Constitution and I can't seem to find the part that says that the Executive will be charged with ensuring that the citizens eat their daily recommended dosage of Brussels Sprouts. My plans for addressing this are moving from "what do I have to write my Congressman?" to "now many guillotines are we going to need?"

I don’t want the government running the show, but a lot of people in this country eat like total morons. Couldn’t believe how many fat people live in small towns that I have seen through my travels. Too much fast food and too many lazy parents.

It’s their business if they want be unhealthy slobs, though. It’s also a good way of trimming the herd.

[DocRock]

Well the feds could simply restrict what EBT cards can buy. That was simple, wasn’t it?

[pallis]

A plant based diet is going to do wonders for type II diabetics. They will have to drop their calorie count down to less than 1000 a day, or turn into butterballs.

[navet97]

We need to find out who is on this committee and demand their resignation!

[markman46]

just for this i am going to buy a nice Rib eye and have a baked potato tonight for dinner.. screw the feds

[NorthstarMom]

Insane idea. Babies, toddlers and young children need cholesterol for proper bone and brain development. It’s why pediatricians say that all children need whole milk up to age 4. An entirely plant based diet would be very dangerous for kids.

Adults who say a few years of vegetarianism have done wonders for them have most likely benefited from eliminating processed foods and sugar as well as meat. They got the foundation from animal fat and protein in their early years so they can pull off a vegetarian diet now without immediate consequence to their physical and mental health.

Feds: America Should Adopt ‘Plant-Based’ Diet

America should adopt a "Fed regulator based" diet.

Yet another reason for Texas to secede from this corrupt union.
