What we need to do is have the government take over all production of foods, all distribution of foods, etc. The next thing that should be done is to eliminate all money. All people's earnings should be given to government for them to distribute equitably. All citizens will be given an EBT card and it will become a felony to sell someone food without one. If someone is caught with black market food they should be immediately arrested and sent to jail, the same way we would send someone to jail for posessing illegal drugs. Food should be strictly rationed and if you are overweight or your children overweight then you should be sent to a reeducation labor camp. Maybe we can save some money building roads and bridges by forcing the fat to build them? If parents are letting their kids become obese the parents should be harshly punished, perhaps with physical punishments and pain. After all, what are they doing to their kids? People can be critical of Mussolini all they want but the man controlled his people. Look what freedom has brought America? Nothing. Freedom is overrated. We need fascism NOW!

Food banks, in accordance with government regulation and as justification of their meager provisioning, are required to tally up the number of serving sizes provided to their clients. This entirely unscientific analysis is reliant upon the suggested serving size listed on product labels. The recent attempts by government agencies to review these suggested serving sizes might indicate a need for similar reappraisal of resource allocations, emergency food distribution services, and disparity of access to nutritionally adequate food.

There is a felt need for MORE education for parents and teachers alike-- can the surgeon general put out a public policy regarding the definition of "healthy snack?" Putting out a statement is not enough- can there be some incentives for schools to keep fast food out and bring healthy food in? It seems that we are able to hold schools so accountable for math and reading skills, but are leaving behind the BASIC elements of life here- nutrition! and WHY can’t our schools and public preschools be held accountable to these standards…it seems that I keep these foods out of our house, but I send my kids to school and the “healthy” snack consists of “gogurt and vanilla wafers”–this is SO frustrating.
