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.

Forget that crap.

Plant based diet? I would love to eat to start a 'liberal based diet'. It would be eating liberals.

I guess maybe it isn't a good diet.. it might give conservatives heartburn... /s

[Georgia Girl 2]

Or as I like to refer to them the Meat Nazi’s. No meat for you. :-)

[Wiser now]

Why can’t vegetarians mind their own business and refrain from forcing their religion on the rest of us?
Guess what? God gave me permission to eat meat, and fish. Jesus ate both fish and lamb.
We have known this was coming for a decade. These people would still be pushing toward this even if they didn’t have Michelle’s help.
These are the same hypocrites who demand we stay out of their bedrooms and wombs, while they have their noses in our refrigerators and their hands in our wallets.

From the same morons that just had to backtrack on 40 years of bogus advice not to eat eggs.

Oh, goody! The same people who caused the obesity epidemic are going to solve it! What could possibly go wrong? Now, I’m off to load up on the 5000 servings of grains they say I should have today, then I’ll do the 45 hours of “cardio” to “burn it off”. We should all be running vegans, because they have no health problems! Idiots.

[Organic Panic]

YAY. We can all buy North Korean cook books. They are experts of the culinary art of preparing weeds, tree bark, mud, and grass in to tasty dishes. A few more years of Obamunism is all we need. Fore-ward comrades!

[isthisnickcool]

I don’t eat garbage that has been injected with hormones or is full of sugar. Sugar is So good but SOOO bad:) I do cardio and weights almost every day. I look 20 years younger than my age.

If people want to eat garbage or do whatever they want good for them. And it is nobody’s business but theirs.

What gripes me about this circle jerk group of “professionals” is that they are wasting money on this kind of clap trap. What REALLY gripes me is that this group exists and the entire stupid federal agency they work for.

Hey kids, want to comment on this? They were nice enough to leave a page for comments. Enjoy:

DGAC: “transform the food system.”
UN Climate Change: ‘Intentionally Transform the Economic Development Model’
B.O.: “...fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

The transformation is always from a state of “the individual decides for him/herself” to a state of “the central authority decides for the individual.”

[yuleeyahoo]

Good idea. Once the bureaucrats and politicians have demonstrated the efficacy of such a diet after say, fifty years of rigorous field studies on themselves; I will consider following their suggestions.

[cookiemcbride]

These people want every single one of living in a concrete tower block in a high-density urban death maze, eating sprouts three times a day underneath a bare non-incandescent bulb while we watch nothing but PBS and Soccer.

Balls to that.

[uncitizen]

trained obesity “interventionists” at worksites,

government sponsored fat-shaming is the good kind.

[BenLurkin]

Also from the article:

The amount of sedentary time Americans spend in front of computers and TV sets is also a concern to the federal panel.

They recommended ... “electronic tracking and monitoring of the use of screen-based technologies” as a way to limit screen time.
