LEFT WING LOONS Title: Feds: America Should Adopt ‘Plant-Based’ Diet CPAC's 2009 Blog of the Year ---- Sweetness and Light From the Washington Free Beacon: Feds: America Should Adopt ‘Plant-Based’ Diet By Elizabeth Harrington February 20, 2015 The federal committee responsible for nutrition guidelines is calling for the adoption of “plant-based” diets, taxes on dessert, trained obesity “interventionists” at worksites, and electronic monitoring of how long Americans sit in front of the television. >> And to think that some believe George Orwell was kidding. The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) released its far-reaching 571- page report of recommendations to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Thursday, which detailed its plans to “transform the food system.” …The guidelines are used as the basis for government food assistance programs, nutrition education efforts, and for making “decisions about national health objectives.” DGAC proposed a variety of solutions to address obesity, and its promotion of what it calls the “culture of health.” [The] DGAC call[s] for diet and weight management interventions by “trained interventionists” in healthcare settings, community locations, and worksites… >> AKA food Nazis. A Michelle Obama on every corner. DGAC also called for policy interventions to “reduce unhealthy options,” limit access to high calorie foods in public buildings, “limit the exposure” of advertisements for junk food, a soda tax, and taxing high sugar and salt items and dessert… The amount of sedentary time Americans spend in front of computers and TV sets is also a concern to the federal panel. They recommended “coaching or counseling sessions,” “peer-based social support,” and “electronic tracking and monitoring of the use of screen-based technologies” as a way to limit screen time… As expected, the committee [also] recommended that Americans move toward “plant- based” diets, after months of discussions in meetings regarding environmentalism and food policy. DGAC said its recommendations to eat less meat are intended to “maximize environmental sustainability” out of concerns for climate change… >> Shouldn’t we eat cows if only to cut down on their methane production? DGAC concluded that in order to achieve its goal of a population-wide “culture of health,” personal health must become a “human right.” … >> Funny, but it sounds like they are trying to establish a ‘government right’ to bully us about our health whenever and wherever they want.
