Even worse, the government is RESPONSIBLE for destroying the American diet in the first place. So now this author's solution is what? More government. Unbelievable.
The increase in useless glucose carbs over the last decades was the food industry's response to government guidelines designed to reduce fat intake. Guess what? Not all fat is bad for you. To make fat-free food taste better, they added sugar and insulin-system-destroying carbs.
So now the government is going to make more decisions for us in some new scheme to improve all our lives. To create a utopia here on earth that's always just a few new government programs away.
Let people make their own decisions when it comes to their own health and well-being.
I know, not everyone can make great decisions. But to whom are we abdicating decision-making authority? To health experts? No, to a bunch of guys who won a popularity/political contest and put their buddies in charge of micro-managing your life.
People need to be concerned about the health of themselves and their families. They can't just be mindless zombies eating whatever someone else tells them to. Creating new laws, regulations, and perhaps government bureaucracies take us backward -- not forward.
