“…The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it works — whether it helps families find jobs at a decent wage, care they can afford, a retirement that is dignified…” – President Obama, Inauguration (2009)
You would think that the different entities might have gotten a clue over the last 250 years. However, as you can see above, Obama tried to paper over that once an entity grows too big, it can’t keep track of itself. I also believe that he was trying to hide his most “endearing” phrase:
“We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.“
(Progressives and the Proper Role of Government – and Your Subservience to It)
However, back to that first quote that answers his question THEN and certainly continues to answer it NOW. Let me “set the table” (snicker) that the answer for the VAST number of people is to just stay out of the kitchen and walk away from the dining room table…
SHOT: CDC Officially Rebrand Obesity as a ‘Disease’ With ‘No Known Cure’
The CDC has officially rebranded obesity as a ‘disease’ with ‘no known cure’ as part of a plan to remove the stigma of being grossly overweight. The CDC wants the public and medical community to see obesity through the lens of a chronic disease – which coincidentally supports the globalist elite’s depopulation agenda.
That’s right – it’s no longer your “responsibility” because of our proclamation that “it is beyond your control”. Blame it ALL on Big Food – you should absolutely have no guilt in that you created your own condition. Make it a disease so it appears that you have some germ, virus, bacteria, or some other agent beyond your control that is making you lift that next set of calories to your lips and keeps you on the couch instead of walking around. Remove that stigma – and then demonize others who tell you that being FAT (and yes, I was fat) is just fine and dandy.
You’re fine and they are haters for telling you to get healthy.
Nonsense – as someone who has kept 70-80 lbs off for over 3 years now (I admit that I do bounce between that 10-pound variation), the answer lies within in. Sure, having someone to spur you on helps and, like my previous post said, holds you accountable, it can work.
And for the Right Hand Not Knowing The Left Hand…
CHASER: Connecticut court rules that obesity is not a disability
A Connecticut court has ruled against a state corrections officer who claimed he was bullied by superiors and denied promotions because of the perception that he was overweight.
The case pitted two state agencies against each other, the Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities arguing against the state Department of Correction. The commission argued that the DOC violated Daniel Madden’s rights under the Connecticut Fair Employment Act, “because he was perceived by the defendant to suffer a disability due to his weight.”
Superior Court Judge Susan Q. Cobb disagreed and ruled that “being overweight or obese or perceived as such is not covered by the act.” The Second Circuit court had previously addressed the issue of obesity as it relates to the Americans with Disabilities Act, “and found that obesity is not a covered physical disability or impairment unless it is the result of an underlying physiological disorder or condition,” she wrote in her ruling.
That latter part is why I chose “VAST,” as there are some people that it IS beyond their control because of diagnosed metabolic issues.
After all, and in summary, for those of you who have also turned grey (even if masked by your barber or hairdresser), try to remember how many times Government has had to redo their recommended food plate/pyramid. How many times has XYZ been deemed to be bad only to recant and state, Oopsies – the science has progressed!
Proving another canard that Science is never settled…
