American’s Want More Say In Their Future – What About Their Health
I am watching a program in Boston before a speech. There is a poll that Americans are very unhappy about how the government is dealing with issues and they want MORE control over the decision.
I couldn’t agree more, but how are Americans dealing with their health and the obesity epidemic.
They aren’t.
Why don’t we SHOW the government that we are able to handle problems personally and not require government intervention.
Why doesn’t everyone agree to lose 10 pounds?
Thoughts?
Completely agree with you politically and what an interesting point you bring up with weight loss. Well stated!

I do not even understand why the government needs to be involved at all in what people make the choice to eat. There is a glut of information to be had with regard to healthy nutrition. It is almost as if people expect some government official to be their food police. If they purchase a bag of cheese doodles (or whatever they are called), is Uncle Sam supposed to come along and slap their hand and say do not eat that! But then again, when I see snippets of these shows such as The Biggest Loser, I am truly amazed at how clueless some people are about healthy food. So maybe they do need Big Brother standing guard over their eating habits.
