Food, Obesity and Health, Another Look At!

[wkmac]

Beginning in the mid-70's, the Federal Gov't began issuing food guidelines in order to drive public health towards a certain result, good intentions they may have been. Over the years those guidelines were seen by the public as the final say so to speak but growing opinion from even scientific circles are starting to seriously question (not that they didn't at the time) what is called "The Washington Diet."

I was world’s fattest girl who weighed 420lbs aged 8…now I'm UNRECOGNISABLE

How Fat Pride became the new battleground in America's culture wars

As the case of super-fit Colorado shows, the drive for fat acceptance is more about ideology than health. Conservative states such as Kentucky are having no truck with such laws.

I look at an obese child as an abused child. Now they want to make this abuse acceptable by passing laws to punish anyone that calls out the fat. You can’t spank a child but you can help that child to have all kinds of medical issues and die early with food. When I see a whole obese family it is disgusting. I love the people that says ”obesity runs in the family” It does because they are all eating out of the same food trough.
