[quote=bearishgurl][quote=ocrenter] . . . Hey, pop quiz, what other industry fought the government for decades about truthful disclosure of the product they sell?[/quote]

Do it have it right, ocrenter, that it was the “tobacco industry?”[/quote]

most definitely! =)

now remember, the food industry grew up in the last 30-40 years, completely unregulated. now it is this huge powerful force that is frankly throwing its weight around. government is always lagging when it comes to controlling new monsters. this is no different.

Folks, all of you are right on this. It is food supply AND sedentary lifestyle. Bad food as been around a long time. But as stated, people were more active.

I have not gone back to the beginning of this thread, so I don’t remember everything. I just want to mention, if I haven’t already, that people need to be aware of HFCS. This was added in our foods in the late ’70’s, I believe, to replace sugar which was more expensive.

I honestly believe that the HFCS is the poison that changed our foods. It is in just about everything. If you are all looking for what changed things, add HFCS to the list. People have a hard time digesting it. Add it to all foods, then live a sedentary, overworked lifestyle. Voila’. You have overweight people w/diabetes.

The advent of HFCS is what changed the course of our diet.

Obesity is good for our system. People eat unhealthy food made out of the cheapest possible ingredients, earning a big markup for big ag/food concerns. Unhealthy people die early, which saves money on pensions/SS payouts, etc… And while they are alive they rack up tons in pharmaceutical and medical charges, again, good business! It’s a win-win-win all around. So do your part America and eat some high-fat mad cow infected garbage burger meat from Albertsons, wash it down with some HFCS-sweetened soda from Costco and some salty snacks made from GMO corn. To do anything else is bad for the economy! And don’t worry, when you get sick our health care will be there to send you off to the great beyond with a MRSA infection when you go in for your quadruple-bypass surgery or insulin pump implant.
