Yeah, just joking, sort of. The problem is that I recently read that 1 out of every 3 meals is eaten at a fast food restaurant. And sadly, the vast majority of Americans do not know anything, or very little about nutrition. Take a look at the nutritional value of the typical hamburger and fries menu. That is why it is now estimated that 60% of the adult population is medically obese. I think its a plague!

And yeah, everyone has a right to eat what they want just like they have the right to feed their kids what they want just like they have the right to smoke and blow smoke in their kids faces. The latter has involved massive amounts of education in the last 30 years. I think it's time for some nutritional education as well.

Don't expect to get rational and honest education from the public indoctrination schools or the media or politicians and bureaucrats. For decades they should have, if they were acting rationally and honestly, broadcast the tremendous harm that sugars are the most damaging carbohydrates -- carbohydrates that destroy a person's metabolism. Certainly people working in the medical industry should have been screaming that from the rooftops.

And the FDA should not have outlawed Saccharine. Taxpayers pay for government abuse so that some FDA parasite can build their case-file drawer as a means to justifying their unearned paycheck. Such government abuse is rampant in almost every one of the alphabet agencies.

"I think it's time for some nutritional education as well."

As an official member of the "food police", will you be enforcing your "nutritional education" by fines or jail time?
