Make America Responsible Again

It is mildly amusing that conservatives appear to be supporting legislating away obesity, since personal responsibility clearly doesn't work. I thought that was the liberal way of failing to solve problems.

I don't think you can legislate your way out of this, but what you can do is provide better information for a modern society, untainted by Big Ag. For instance, the Food Pyramid is widely acknowledged to be wrong. Or we're talking about cutting junk food from food stamps, when many of these people don't know how to cook with healthy choices.

It's also amusing considering Trump is morbidly obese.

It seems to me that an addiction to good old fashioned sugar is the source of a lot of America's dietary problems. I can't remember which movie it was, but they essentially said the food industry has managed to convince people that fat is bad, whereas added sugar isn't really a problem. The reality is quite possibly the complete opposite.

Remember when they said eggs were bad for you because of cholesterol?
I don't mind being told stuff which turns out to be wrong if it was a mistake, and they admit the mistake. I do mind when it isn't a mistake.
