The problem isn't what we're feeding our kids. The problem is what we're feeding ourselves. Adults are reluctant to make "better, healthy choices" for their kids because they don't want to make better, healthier choices for themselves. Kids aren't going to eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and opt for skim milk or water with meals, so long as mom and dad are sitting there scarfing down bags of chips and sucking down Cokes.

And people aren't going to make better choices so long as we're subsidizing the production of cheap, sugary, crap snack-and-fast foods. Soda should be taxed like alcohol and snack-and-fast foods should be taxed like cigarettes, i.e. not so heavily taxed that they're completely out of reach (people still drink, people still smoke), but taxed heavily enough that people can't afford to live on corn syrup and crap.

Anyway, the White House launched its "fight against childhood obesity" today—and somewhere Sarah Palin is preparing two-pronged attack—a Tweet and a Facebook status update—denouncing the White House's efforts as a hopey, changey socialist plot to indoctrinate our children and destroy our country by preventing American children from developing adult-onset diabetes in their early teens like God intended. And when the predictable and imbecilic attack comes the Democrats will stand there helplessly with their dicks in their hands.
