The reason there's an obesity epidemic, which worsened most dramatically in the 80s, is the stigma against eating fat, emploring people to turn to carbs as a way to quell their appetite. Carbs cause weight gain. It's that simple. The causal links are not even disputed by health professionals. They're simply ignored. It's understandable that people reject this notion. It's hard to go against all conventional wisdom. But the government food pyramid truly is the Keynesianism of dietary science. The food pyramid is another example of destructive government propaganda. The entire bottom layer of the pyramid should be removed. It simply does not contain any food that our bodies are designed/evolved to eat. Think about it logically for a moment. What evolutionary benefit could there possibly be in weighing 400 pounds? This is far from an optimal weight for hunting and gathering. When there are plenty of animals and animal fat to eat, it makes sense that the body should remain in slender, muscular shape, to maximize the chances of catching the next meal. This doesn't mean there's no evolutionary benefit in weighting 400 pounds. Far from it. The real evolutionary benefit in weighing 400 pounds is during a famine. If the human body expects to go months without a fresh meal, it makes sense to build a store of fat to draw from. Here's the thing: When you eat grains and carbs, the body's less-preferred meal, that's exactly the signal you're sending to your body. You're communicating "famine" to your body when you eat this way. So there should be no surprise that carbs stimulate the hormone which causes weight gain. Eating less fat means eating more carbs to satisfy the appetite. Eating more carbs means more insulin which stimulates weight gain. Therefore, eating more fat means weight loss. It's such a beautifully elegant explanation for all our weight problems, yet so elusively difficult for the majority of people to understand this. It doesn't help that government-funded public service TV ads are telling us the opposite. When you think about it, it makes sense that almost everyone fails to understand this. The idea that eating more fat means losing more fat is just plain counterintuitive. Knowing this, should we really be surprised that we have an obesity epidemic? Not really. Measuring calories in the diet makes as much sense as measuring GDP in the economy. It's such a flawed measurement that there's almost no value to be found in it at all. The main problem is that most people assume that calories can only be disposed through "burning" them or through some kind of exercise. What people never seem to calculate is how much fat is simply ends up in the toilet. Without the fat-storing insulin hormone caused by carbs, there's simply no way for the body to store the fat that is eaten. If you don't believe me, just try it for yourself. Try eating pork chops and chicken thighs for a month and get rid of all sugars/carbs so that the body doesn't store the excess fat. Then when you shit, look at how much oil is floating in the toilet bowl. Then take a look in the mirror. You're welcome, fatass.

Look at the 47% Romney referred to. Especially those who have abused the disability and entitlement programs. They do nothing but eat, watch TV, and sleep, on the government tab.
Especially those who have abused the disability and entitlement programs. I'm more concerned about the 1% Romney didn't mention, namely the contractors abusing the MIC entitlement programs. Raytheon, Boeing, Northrup Grumman, Oshkosh, etc. Their feeding at the trough gets people killed worldwide. Once the technology is wrung out overseas, it's turned on us.
