last country that really started worrying about this crap had a fuhrer.

Well I know I am and because of health I am working on it and Low Carbs does work, especially with a supplemental carb buster tablet .

"What is right is the right of every American to determine what and how much they eat, and to be responsible for whatever consequences they encounter. This is not a public issue. It is a private one. It is one in which the government should have no role nor say. "

Exactly. It's none of the government's business.

Even reasonable sensible people fall victim to this and miss the point, which is NOT the issue of general medical recommendations of what you should or should not do, but YOU are the final decision maker, but that the government has no right to tell you what you eat or do.

It is interesting and disconcerting to me, that the very same people who are so upset when the government passed the Patriot Act to catch terrorists and keep us safe, embrace the idea of the government telling us what to eat,"because after all low fat is good for us, so let daddy government take care of us", how much water you can use to flush your toilet in your home, and so on.

[Jay D. Dyson]

I am obliged to remind these talking heads from the USG that they should refrain from thinking they know what's right for me.

I may start thinking I know what's right for them.

The government needs to trim a little pork themselves. Maybe all those morbidly obese people on food stamps can turn some food stamps in at the end of the month.

[supercat]

This from the diet that pushes the carb-laden low-fat diets that cause obesity for many people? [Many people are prone to carbohydrate addition, an epidemic health problem which the government not only hasn't warned against, but actually encourages with its "foot pyramid". Once carbohydrate addition sets in, the only effective cure for the resulting problems is cutting carbohydrate consumption, and yet the government has completely failed to promote this.]

[Bella_Bru]

Chubby feds have no right to be calling anyone fat.

[The Red Zone]

Just don't take away our partially hydrogenated fats!

[LIBERTARIAN JOE]

In a country where we've allowed the gov't to tell us which intoxicants we can and can't use, tell us which safety devices we can and can't use (seat belts mandatory, body armor illegal), tell us how to design our homes and workplaces, demonize some dangerous activities (smoking) while forcing us to pay for others (gov't school sports), this is just another logical, unconstitutional step on the path to complete gov't control of how we live our lives.

[I_dmc]

As many said when the demonification of smoking began....

[SamAdams76]

Well, I guess we could start with the Texas Democrats. They've been skipping the salad bar for far too long now.

[raybbr]

What the heck let's all look like this.

To all of you who say: "Let me get as fat as I want." When this thing gets sick and my wife has to take care of her in Cardio-Thoracic Intensive care because she has forced her heart to do the work for three people and it costs the health care system a couple of hundred thousand dollars, don't complain about the cost to you in the form of higher rates.

[hadaclueonce]

I think they are bring up anything to ensure their continual budget funding.
From the BATF to this hoxie group, you have to be in the news to get more of our money to "fix a problem."

No press releases, no additional budget funding...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The present government of the United States is the last entity that should be accusing anyone of being fat.

The Gubmint is so fat now....the back of its neck looks like a package of hot dogs.

[William Terrell]

I wonder how many of our drug warriors and smoking nazies are fat, eat junk food, dine at fast food restaurants? It's your turn now.

[mewzilla]

Gee, I guess everyone who's blasting the governent on this must not paying through the nose for health insurance, if you're fortunate enough to have it that is. If you're picking the governemnt's, or your company's pocket, to subsidize your self-destructive behavior then the govt (or your company) has a right to beef.

[wunderkind54]

Who but the government would know so much about fat, what with the pork situation and all.

[FITZ]

Getting fat or staying slim is a personal lifestyle decision. It is not the government's right, nor role, to determine, and the new campaign, initiated by the UN, can lead to still further loss of freedom in America.

End Medicare, Medicaid, and Food Stamps. The government dependents are the only whose weight is costing me the most. The most obese of all are on the food stamp program and it's easy to see why when you watch who uses food stamps and who has to use their own money. Why is it when you see 400 pounders with 100 pound 5 year olds, they are using food stamps when they check out with a cart overfilled with cakes, cookies, ice cream, sodas and they never seemed to make it to the vegetable section.

[Major_Risktaker]

The lefty stalinist lawyers have vilified smoking and smokers. Now people who are overweight and food companies.

This is the MO of X-42, to vilify your enemy. Who is next, Santa Claus?

Lawyers do nothing but increase the cost of every thing we buy and inhibit everything we do in the name of justice when in fact its to increase their net worth.

Its so blatant that to try and vilify it is preposterous. When they find they can not hack it in law they become politicians now there is a real step up, pork and freebies, that's real productivity for you.

Get a real job you leeches!

The Government Says You're Fat
