The Fat Police

The Agitator is hosting a discussion on "Fat Police". The discussion is about a rather one sided discusion on a Time Magazine feature. The discussion is sorta funny, because I remember so clearly several years ago during the middle of the "states vs Big Tobbacco" law suits, when Rush Limbaugh predicted that "as silly as it sounds" the Leftist will go after us about fatty foods. Big goverment is going to far when they decide to regulate what we should shove into our mouths. After all, High Fat is bad for us, unless you listen to the Atkins followers, eggs are good for us, or are they bad for us this week. Remember when Whole milk was good for us? Fast food is bad for us, but remember the Subway guy that lost all that weight? Lumberjack commented;

Abortion = Precious individual right that the government has no right to infringe on, let alone question.

Eating = Activity deemed so risk laden that it must be regulated by the State.

If you need me, I'll be in a strait jacket trying to reconcile this...


Me too.
