Government at Work - "Fat Foolishness"
When I see stuff like this, I immediately see and am appalled by the pervasiveness of government.
Now, if government had a reliable track record, I might think differently.
I'd also think differently if I had any respect for the politicians that run goverment.
I'm still saying throw the bums out!...

A recent Investors Business Daily article had this:
"It's said that healthy food such as fresh fruit and vegetables is too expensive, that the poor depend too much on fast-food outlets for their meals and that they have fewer local sources of cheap, healthy food.
There's some truth in that last of those arguments, but the inconvenient fact is that better-off people face mostly the same dietary temptations and, as a group, tend to be less obese.
The fast-food bugaboo, for instance, led the Los Angeles City Council last year to ban expansion by chains such as McDonald's in low-income, mostly minority South L.A.
Now comes a study by the Rand Corp., published in the journal Health Affairs, showing that the ban has no rational basis."
