How to get fat without really trying.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 2 comments link this postI recently was involved in a conversation in which I was told I should find the Peter Jennings video on the connection between the farm bill and obesity rates. Now, I'm not going to sit here and completely blame the government; no one forces me to scarf down a bag of Cadbury Mini-Eggs. However, in doing the South Beach Diet since November and essentially cutting out processed food and junk carbs, I've come to realize how nearly impossible it is to eat without making a concerted effort to not stumble into Junk Food Land. Eating out is tricky. Shopping at the grocery story absolutely must remain on the outside aisles. Trying to purchase food with minimal processing and chemicals, much less completely organic, is an exercise in expense. It is made easier and cheaper to eat the wrong foods.
Anyway, I found the video. Here it is. Something to think about.

Food for thought...
Sorry. I have a penchant for awful puns.

Juls, it just makes me sad that we seem to be killing our kids with food.
