What is your state's antiobesity policy? I hope you know, because the Trust for America's Health is demanding that the federal government (goose) step up their scrutiny of each state's antiobesity policy.

Here's an interesting quote from this NPO's recent news release (Italics are mine)

The nation's antiobesity policies lack coordination and are failing to curb the rising obesity rates, claims a report issued Wednesday by a nonprofit public health group.
The report accuses the federal government of not having an organized effort to attack rising overweight and obesity rates, which now affects more than 60% of Americans. It also blames states for failing to follow up on nutrition and activity programs that are intended to fight the $139 billion-per-year epidemic.

Note the language of victimhood. It's the government's fault for not protecting us from ourselves -- or worse, from evil corporations that want to fatten us up to death.

This is the great and majestic way that U.S. health care legisltion and policy comes about nowadays.. There is a whole universe of obesity NPO's, lobbyists and disease-specific ghoulies sprouting up all over the United States. What will the result be? Idiotic counterproductive legislation. Billions of dollars wasted. Money we might be spending on...eh? Health Care?
