"The problem at first was that the problem was ignored: For almost two decades,
young people in the United States got fatter and fatter -- ate more, sat more --
and nobody seemed to notice. Not parents or schools, not medical groups or the
government.
But since the alarm was finally sounded in the late 1990s, the
problem has been the country's reaction: a fragmented, inchoate response that
critics say has suffered particularly from inadequate direction and dollars at
the federal level...Federal officials defend their record, saying they have worked "resolutely and steadily" in the past eight years to combat obesity. They calculate that the Department of Health and Human Services has spent $4.5 billion on prevention, treatment and research since fiscal 2003"Understand that the food police believe you are too stupid to decide what to eat and that you should be forced by your government mommy to obey.
