So they're trying to control what I eat now ? If I want to drink lard out of the barrel let me, this is america. Qu'ils mangent de la brioche(Let

We're in Nazi America now, and we're stuck like this, welcome to hell.
(CNSNews.com) - U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told members of the National Restaurant Association on Monday that Americans need to “adjust” their tastes so that they like the kind of food the government believes they should eat—and “we have to make sure that what we do is create the appropriate transition.”
“You know, as we deal with this issue of reducing sodium and sugar, it sounds simple to do, but you all know better than I do, it’s not as simple as it sounds,” said Vilsack.
“It’s going to take time for people’s taste to adjust and they will adjust over time, but it will take some time,” he said. “So, we have to make sure that what we do is create the appropriate transition.

I'm actually glad to hear of something like this.
Junk food and fast food is actually more expensive in the long run than health food - and health food isn't even that expensive. I can buy a months worth of groceries from Trader Joes and Fresh and Easy for around 100 bucks, so there's no need to bring in "people can't afford to live healthy"
And you do have the freedom to eat whatever, until your obesity becomes my problem. When I get on the bus - many times I've had to change my seat or actually GET OFF because there's too many fat people on and they can't all fit. Where's the money come from for all their diabetic medication, or gastric bypass surgeries? When your weight starts to impede on my life you shouldn't have a choice in what you eat as you are killing yourself and becoming my problem.
