''What right,'' Handler asked, ''has the federal government to propose that the American people conduct a vast nutritional experiment, with themselves as subjects, on the strength of so very little evidence that it will do them any good?''

This article defines precisely why government sh-theads should stay out of the lives of the citizenry. Their "lowfat" dietary push has essentially killed off millions of people by inducing higher obesity and heart disease.

This could be a campaign issue. After all, Gore and Clinton said GOP environmental policy was killing children and old people. Perhaps we should suggest that Liberal dietary policies have killed millions.

More politicized science bites the dust, leaving a trail of dead bodies in its wake. Heavens to betsy, next they'll be saying HIV isn't the cause of AIDS.

Not a bad idea. Many of my lib acquaintances are frothing at the bit to sue "greedy" food manufacturers and restaurant chains for "making" people obese. No kidding, I'm in this food fight fulltime. This article gives me plenty of ammo to bop them with. Your comments help, too.

And not just any old sh-thead either... none other than George F'n McGovern. If he said the sun rose in the east I'd set my screens to the west... and if he says low-fat is good for me then I'm running to the store for some Haagen-Daaz.
