The Government makes us fat

Did you know that the U.S. government spends 20 times as much money subsidizing sugar and fats than it does fruit and vegetables?

Or that if every American really DID eat the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables, we would need double the acreage devoted to these types of foods?

According to many health experts, and even Tommy Thompson, the Secretary of Health from 2001-2005, there is a strong disconnect between the government's agriculture and its nutrition policies. The agriculture policies are politically based, and the nutrition policies (like the Food Pyramid) are designed to make us healthier.
