Obesity

Some pearls from Tom DeWeese on the subject of obesity:

"Obesity has become the tobacco of the day as trial lawyers line up to file class action suits to make restaurants responsible if you get fat.

The nation is in a panic. Americans are too fat, moan the food police. The government has to do something, cries the herd.

What we have are lies, lawyers and fraud. Obesity is the disease of the day - even if it's just a fabrication.

There are too many federal grants to be gained to tell the truth now. And the lawyers intend to ignore the report as well. Money is money.

It's a lie. There is no obesity epidemic. There is only the disease of government run by overweight, droopy-joweled bureaucrats, fat-headed special interest groups hoping to feed at the federal trough, and lawyers."
