According to the Consumers
International (CI) and the World Obesity Federation (WOF), this is
where we are headed. The new rules proposed by these two
organizations will include reducing the levels of salt, saturated
fat, and sugar in food. They would improve food served in hospitals
and schools, impose stricter advertising controls, and educate the
public about healthy eating.
I sincerely wish these do-gooders would
crawl back in the cave they came from and leave the rest of us alone.
We need salt to live, saturated fat is not the bad boy they claim,
and sugar in moderation can be tolerated. Now if they would put high
fructose corn syrup in the sugar category, then they could be on to
something.
These two organizations, CI and WOF,
said governments around the world should impose compulsory rules for
the food and drink industry.
We already have the Academy of
Nutrition and Dietetics taking over the dietary food in hospitals and
this will cause more deaths as it is. The USDA has already ruined
the food in our school system.
Other activities they are asking for
include:
#1. Artificial trans-fats should be
removed from all food and drink products within five years.
#2. Advertising to children during
television programs must be restricted.
#3. Governments could review food
prices, introduce taxes, change licensing controls, and start new
research to make this happen.
#4. Consumers International said they
were asking for the “same level of global treaty” as the tobacco
industry faced.
#5. Stricter advertising controls
could include pictures on food packaging of the damage obesity can
cause, similar to the images of smoking-related disease on cigarette
boxes.
This campaign is gathering steam and
unfortunately some support. The US government is ignorant enough to
buy into this and make life more difficult for us.
