It is very interesting to me when you see people reading a diet book. Most people who read these diet books are very educated people. I start to wonder about people who live in a civilized nation like the U.S. It is amazing for me to see how much money people make from those diet books - they get paid big time. And most of the time those diets don't even work! And you have tons of people to lobby to change the rules about how to label sandwiches and other food with calorie stickers. I don't know for sure myself, which is which. Sometimes you hear people making noise saying that the government is controlling people too much. But on the other hand, they are forcing the government to come up with the rules to tell them how to eat like providing healthy meals in public schools, etc. etc. The question is, what do people really want from the government? On one hand, the people say unhealthy food is like a drug - people get addicted. The government interferes with drug and alcohol issues. The government makes the rule for these things - if you are under 18 you can't buy cigarettes, if you are under 21 you can't buy alcohol. But in the army you can buy alcohol if you're under 21. If you are sitting in the bar drinking when you get drunk the owner isn't allowed to sell you anything more to drink. If he sells you alcohol and you go and have an accident, you can sue the owner of the bar. So why are the fast food companies allowed to sell food that causes obesity to people who are already overweight? A kid who is under 12 and is overweight can still go to the fast food restaurant and buy fast food without anybody asking questions. The teenagers who drink alcohol are not anywhere near as numerous as teenagers who are overweight. For teenagers there is no alcohol epidemic like there is an obesity epidemic. So what is more dangerous? My point is, in the bush we have one diet book. In that book there is a cover, but inside that book there is only one page. All that is written on this page are the words, "Don't eat too much." Even animals know that when they're full they should stop eating.
