Where is this "different food" going to come from?

I'm sure it makes you feel better about yourself to hate on the fattys.

But the truth is the rise in obesity, especially among children, is a direct result of incomes not rising at the same rate of inflation. Even before the record oil prices started working their way through every aspect of the economy, the middle and lower class were already taking home less pay in relation to the cost of goods than their counterparts in the 60s and 70s.

It is a shame that our diets, and our kids' diets, pass up nutrious meals for what gets served to them at our schools' cafeterias and quick and easy fast food at night and on weekends.

I'm sure all your friends at the organic grocery store are super smug about those other people who can't practice self control, but their problems derive from the fact they weren't fed with a silver spoon and had a U.S. government that hasn't cared about the health of its citizens since the late 70s.
