Obesity is government's fault



by submarinepainter Today at 12:02 amWell, yet another story of how everything that happens is the responsibility of the government. This song and dance is really starting to get old and worn.

Quote:

The problem at first was that the problem was ignored: For almost two decades, young people in the United States got fatter and fatter -- ate more, sat more -- and nobody seemed to notice. Not parents or schools, not medical groups or the government. But since the alarm was finally sounded in the late 1990s, the problem has been the country's reaction: a fragmented, inchoate response that critics say has suffered particularly from inadequate direction and dollars at the federal level.

So now we should rely on the government to dictate our diets to us. Really, whose fault is it?
