Not that it's health-inducing, mind you, but one could.<br /><br />However, that's hardly the point. The point is that we have a NATIonAL and creeping INT'L problem that is partly fueled by the desire of restaurants and food purveyors to make you eat their stuff and eat a lot and more. I'm all for banning adverts for all junk foods and for taxing junk foods/drinks. I say use the extra money for subsidizing GOOD food like healthy produce (ideally organic) and lean protein sources. For education in nutrition from elementary school. <br /><br />I used to eat out every day. I've had to cut back. A lot of restaurants only have lousy choices (or the good choices are so limited it's not worth going). If restaurants want me back, start ofering complete dinners that don't go over 700 calories and have spices and herbs and taste good. Try that. I'll pay MORE for better healthier food!<br /><br />Anyway, I got all heated up. I partly agree with Limbaugh-we do have to show more control. But I know for a fact the environment is toxic and promote obesity. The ads, the food cues, the choices restaurants make to supersize, fiddle with foods to make them fattier and saltier and sweeter. It's killing us.Princess Dieter aka Mirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121450857817115011noreply@blogger.com
