First-hand witness to: genetic clones (identical twins) who when young were what "conventional wisdom" calls those lucky genetic types who can "eat anything and not get fat." These guys would pile in the food by the plateful -- I watched and refilled the plates a time or two.

By middle age, one of those clones was becoming beefy and overweight, while the other continued to exhibit the eat-anything-not-get-fat lifestyle.

Guess which one was married to a woman who fed him the typical low-fat low animal protein mid to high-carb American "healthy" diet, and which one was the bachelor who continued to eat pretty much the way he was raised?

Genetics are overplayed by people who want to rationalize why being fat not their fault. Yes, genetics determine how a body metabolizes food for sure in a big way -- some people can depend on dairy for a large amount of vital nutrients, and others (lactose intolerant) must find different sources (eggs, hard greens).

Where this utopian "nutrition by government" business is headed, of course, is to try to justify in the name of "health" the removal of animal proteins from a human diet, and that is suicide.

Vegans are an illustration of Darwinism in action.

Of course there will be the exceptions mandated by corrupt Rat politicians.

I suspect the same thing. The media and the government are continually praising vegetarians and attacking meat eaters.

Michelle's food dictates seem to prevent growing children from getting enough protein and nutrition to grow into healthy adults.
