The arrogance of these people is stunning. Without any consideration or reflection, these elites think they have a right to order others as they see fit. We are their slaves, in their mind.

I just finished reading an article that indicated that the diet of most Americans actually lacks quality proteins ...needed for a healthy metabolism.

I started counting my grams of REAL protein only to be stunned that I was consuming only 1/3 to half of what is recommended. After that realization, I consciously set a protein meal plan this past week for myself.

Here at the end of one week I can report that I do have more energy, feel more satiated, and while I have not lost weight...I am not midnight snacking anymore. I am sleeping better without the annoying awakening in the middle of the night.

I suspect in a month’s time I’ll lose a few pounds, but finally feeling better was half the battle.

It’s fat in government that needs an intervention!
Where in the constitution does the power to do this reside?

The panel claimed that 65 percent of adult females and 70 percent of adult males are overweight or obese, and argued that “environmental strategies” are needed to fight obesity.

I'm not convinced at all, 65% to 70 % of adults are overweight or obese...

Go to any place were people are out and about and nowhere near that many people are overweight..

Granted it's way more than it should be...

I don't think the federal government will be happy until we all look like concentration camp victims...

For myself to be the "correct" BMI, I would look like a skeleton ...

This is dangerously close to the government mandating everyone stand together and exercise at work for 30 minutes a day, paid for your time or docked pay if you don’t.

This is one reason the democrats lost the elections. They need to get the hell out of other peoples lives and mind their own business.

It's right in the "General Welfare" clause...

Ask any dope smoking libtard "constitutional scholar" with a 8th grade education, and they will point you in the right direction... / S

Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC).

On the first tier list of agencies and organizations of the federal government to no longer be funded.

I’m surprised she wasn’t able to work “sustainable” in there somehow. Perhaps she did, and we just don’t have the full quote.

Did you also notice that no one quoted in the article seems able to speak in grammatical sentences? I suspect that is because they are trying to fit in all the current buzz-phrases.

I’m not arguing that the government should be forcing us what to eat. I’m arguing that that the government should top trying to teach us what to eat.

I don’t object to people drinking HFCS soft drinks. It’s their life and their choice. I don’t object to manufacturers putting HFCS in sodas and yogurts and tomato paste, so long as it’s labeled so I can choose something else.

What I object to is the government putting out guidelines that purport that eating low-fat, high-carb, highly processed foods is healthy.

For most of my life I ate junk. And my health suffered. But my biggest problem was that on the occasions that I decided I needed to eat “better”, the diet that the official recommendations told me would make me better - low fat, low-calorie, high-fiber, high-carb - made me worse.

Government recommendations are inherently the result of a political process - and political processes cannot, by their nature, produce good science.

Quality of care guidelines need to be revised to incentivize personalized lifestyle and nutrition interventions

Anyone writing such gibberish should be stripped of all academic credentials, flogged publicly, and be made to spend a month in the same room with First LardAss Mooochelle.

What need is a fat intervention in government.

Is there a list we can get on to be notified as to the scheduling of these interventions? I'm really looking forward to the ones in the NFL locker rooms. (They do plan on doing this on pay-per-view, right?)
