The stupidest solution of all

Great news, everybody! Our omnipotent government has found the solution for obesity! Finally!

The talking heads love to remind us constantly that our fatness is at "epidemic proportions" and is a "crisis" that is so significant it warrants action of our government. Well, I figured that when the first lady took this cause under her well-toned wings, that our weight as a nation would plummet. Strangely, this did not happen. Huh! So the government's Plan B is to have the FDA change the food pyramid! Why didn't they think of this earlier? Of course this is the solution here. Everyone goes by that thing. Don't we?

The question that is nagging me, of course, is "how many people get paid a six-figure salary to come up with this crap?"

Personally, I think that a better solution would be to drop the price of produce. When you can get three things off the dollar menu at McDonald's or one bell pepper...and you are really hungry...what are a lot of people gonna do? I'm just sayin'.......
