Federal government says we should become vegans

Good day all. Last week the Feds, wasting another ton of money, released a study that says we should all eat nothing but plants.

This committee, tossing out millions of years of evolution, thinks we would all be so much healthier of we ate nothing but shrubs. Here are the details from the Free Beacon. (Not to be confused with free bacon)

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.

My, how Soviet their thinking is.

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 report is open for public comment for 45 days, and will be used as the basis by the government agencies to develop the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. The guidelines are used as the basis for government food assistance programs, nutrition education efforts, and for making “decisions about national health objectives.”

In other words, they would like nothing better then to tell people how to live their lives. All I can say to that is “Sieg HEIL!”

DGAC proposed a variety of solutions to address obesity, and its promotion of what it calls the “culture of health.” “The persistent high levels of overweight and obesity require urgent population- and individual-level strategies across multiple settings, including health care, communities, schools, worksites, and families,” they said.

What do you want to wager that these walking diaper stains all look like death camp survivors? And what is their great idea to “Fight obesity?”

In response, DGAC called for diet and weight management interventions by “trained interventionists” in healthcare settings, community locations, and worksites.

Allow me to inform you right now that if one of these moonbats sticks his or her snout in my face at work or anywhere else, I will punch them right in the mouth. As far as I’m concerned, these minions of Michael Bloomberg can go talk a long walk off the south rim of the Grand Canyon.

“Government at local, state, and national levels, the health care system, schools, worksites, community organizations, businesses, and the food industry all have critical roles in developing creative and effective solutions,” they said.

Usually by threatening people. Pity that people have just about had it with these totalitarian busybodies. Of course, they also think that if you want to enjoy foods that you like, instead of a plate full of grass and kelp, you should be taxed for the “privilege.”

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.

Oh these moonbats are really looking for a nice sucking chest wound, aren’t they?

“Align nutritional and agricultural policies with Dietary Guidelines recommendations and make broad policy changes to transform the food system so as to promote population health, including the use of economic and taxing policies to encourage the production and consumption of healthy foods and to reduce unhealthy foods,” its report read.

Of course, they have a few examples of their “cunning plans.”

“For example, earmark tax revenues from sugar-sweetened beverages, snack foods and desserts high in calories, added sugars, or sodium, and other less healthy foods for nutrition education initiatives and obesity prevention programs.”

Has anyone ever explained to them that there is no such thing as “Earmarking” where tax money goes? I can almost guarantee it won’t be going to where these drooling knotheads think it will go. They also have a plan for people who might want to watch television.

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.

I do believe this is known as “Thought Control” and “Censorship.” I’m surprised they haven’t called for a ban on televising sporting events like the Superbowl. Would you care to guess how many worthless calories are consumed on that day? And of course, they had to bring up Global Warming.

As expected, the committee 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.

“The major findings regarding sustainable diets were that a diet higher in plant-based foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, and lower in calories and animal-based foods is more health promoting and is associated with less environmental impact than is the current U.S. diet,” DGAC said.

So, no more nice juicy steaks, Thanksgiving turkey or Big Macs? So what do they recommend?

DGAC recommended Mediterranean-style and vegetarian diets as the best options. Vegan, lacto-ovo vegetarian, pesco-vegetarian, and Mediterranean diets are the most environmentally friendly, with the least greenhouse gas emissions, it said.

I wonder if these chowderheads, (and I am NOT giving up my clam chowder!) know that a diet high in animal fodder tends to cause people to, well lets not sugar coat it, since these moonbats want to ban sugar, fart. Pass gas, create an unfriendly aromatic environment.

“All of these dietary patterns are aligned with lower environmental impacts and provide options that can be adopted by the U.S. population,” the report said. “Current evidence shows that the average U.S. diet has a larger environmental impact in terms of increased greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use, and energy use, compared to the above dietary patterns. This is because the current U.S. population intake of animal-based foods is higher and plant-based foods are lower, than proposed in these three dietary patterns.”

And to these recommendations I say, “SHOVE IT WHERE THE SUN DON’T SHINE comrade. I wonder just how much these elitist scum ripped off the taxpayers for? You can bet it’s going to be in the high 8+ figure range. Congress should promptly zero out their budget and look into criminal charges of fraud and embezzlement. There is no way they came up with this load of manure in however many months they claimed. It’s nothing but a list of moonbat buzzwords and totalitarian garbage. Now here’s some “food for thought.” Do you know who was a big vegan? Adolph Hitler. So, we should all eat like he did, is that what these morons are saying? No thanks.

No, You move

Thatisall
