No segment of the media has failed to report on the current American crisis of obesity. With almost malevolent emphasis, newscasters snidely tell us that we're too fat, citing facts or pseudo-facts from this institute or that institute.
But wait! According to Marion Nestle, head of the Department of Nutrition and Food Studies at New York University, the problem of obesity has a root cause.
"We have too much food in this country," said Nestle. Thanks partly to this, "food is cheap" -- close to the cheapest in the world relative to average income, she said.There you have it, folks. A senior member of the nation's Food Police has officially linked large amounts of cheap food to obesity.
It is only a matter of time before the food cops start initiatives to have less food produced and made available and to have much higher prices. Remember, the food police is a clever group. Their job is to control what every American eats. Hold on to your wallet when they appear.
