Sweet rolls, dinner rolls, jelly rolls.<br /><br />I'm overjoyed that Mrs House Negro has a project she can call her own. Obesity is a wonderful thing to tackle, because it has nothing to do with what's wrong in American federal government right now, and as Mike points out, it's all about appearance.<br /><br />Reminds me of Naomi Klein's stupid-as-fuck "no logo" campaign/idea.

Sure, there's a lot of talk about lack of exercise, heart-health risks and such, but when you get right down to it, it's about how we <i>look.</i> What the obesity crusaders don't realize is that the rest of the world's image of us as sedentary, Cheesy Poof-gobbling lard-asses is basically a metaphor for your average American's greed, ignorance and stupidity.<br /><br />Every single person in this country could start eating right and exercising tomorrow and make themselves into modern Adonises, but we'd still be greedy, ignorant and stupid.<br /><br />The whole obesity issue, to me, is like the domestic version of Darfur for Liberals -- a nice, safe issue that's easy to get behind without running the risk of being blacklisted or watchlisted or fired from their jobs or sent to Guantanamo.<br /><br />I caught a bit of the press conference thrown by Our Glorious Leader's Woman the other day, and it totally pegged my internal cynicism meter as I recalled that Our Glorious Leader's Woman's previous gig prior to becoming Our Glorious Leader's Woman was, iirc, an executive at a healthcare corporation, serving on the board of some big-assed hospital in Chicago.<br /><br />Oh, and I love the catchy name of her big anti-obesity campaign: "Let's Move".

The diet industry makes billions of dollars by essentially being nothing but a big glossy mountain of unrelenting fa!l. I don't think that should be in dispute.<br /><br />I get your general point about the exploitative nature of our esteemed leaders, though.ms_xenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948475740337847343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260336111007478020.post-28478075244918000502010-02-15T15:13:50.099-08:002010-02-15T15:13:50.099-08:00Oops!
