I cut out an article from the Wall Street Journal a couple of months ago (maybe it was the Weekly Standard), that said the Left's next manufactured crisis, after climate change, was going to be "The Obesity Epidemic". It was supposed to be that chemical in plastic, but since manufacturers haven't put it in plastic for years, they decided on obesity. It goes with healthcare better, anyways.
Get ready for the full court press on what you eat. It will be called the "fat tax".
