Being Overweight is NOT Such A Killer
Finally, the Federal Government has come around and admitted something that many of us took for granted already. Being overweight is NOT the major killer that it has been held up to be. Being overweight is NOT the #2 killer in America. Being overweight has NOT killed nearly 400,000 people per year. Being overweight HAS been used as a people-control issue by the liberals for no good reason. This article gives the details.
Another big liberal issue defeated by the facts. It won’t matter, of course, because liberals have NEVER cared when the facts were against them. They’d rather watch a movie with some idiot doing something stupid to make a corporation look bad than actually understand what the facts are, anyway.
In related news, the Food Pyramid is being replaced. The one-size-fits-all pyramid we’ve all come to know and despise is being replaced by a veritable cornucopia of pyramids, so we can be completely confused.
I would like to argue that the 4 food groups were good enough. The Food Pyramid was finalized in 1992. Before this, we had the 4 food groups and 46% of the population was overweight. By 2000, 64% of the population was overweight. Now, with the food pyramid being replaced by 12 different food pyramids, you can expect that the percentage of overweight Americans should top 80% by 2010.
Overweight and ALIVE, that is.
