Hey, would someone tell the Obamas and the rest of the US Government that I am a grown responsible adult and to leave my food alone. I am intelligent enough to make my own decisions about what I eat. What ever happened to the Presidential Physical Fitness tests? They were all the rage in the eighties, What happened to them? Why is physical education not required in schools anymore? You want healthier children? Get them moving, educate them in physical fitness and make it practical application and not theory from books in a health class. There is a major industry in diet food but the government is now throwing its towel in the ring.
It would seem to me that a free nation means that the citizens are free to eat what they please, when they please without interference from the government. Now the elected officials that praise you and court you for your vote in election years, really see you as to stupid to make your own choice as to what to eat. They want your vote, they want your money, and now they want your fries and soda. I say they get none of the above.
In short, we all know that if you eat too much you have to be active enough to counter act the effects or you get fat. Common sense, that is all it is.
