Why so calm?

Michelle Obama is enabling our nation to reconsider how we're gradually, willingly altering all of our food.

There is need for, and Americans desire, to use a tiny fraction of our tax dollars to address the nutritive value of our foods. Americans get to eat more than anyone, but what are we eating? Low-grade cuts of meat with non-nutritive lettuce, dough conditioners, soda pop and French fries?

Sixties-activism-reissued-in-the-late-2000s with regard to food may be our last hope. I don't recall much activism after that.

We need a paradigm shift about food. It meshes perfectly with our recent advances in understanding public health and public health care, in addition to wellness and lifestyle choices. Most people don't even know that tobacco smoke is radioactive. Education is the key to growth, but every society has had members who require or insist upon ruling a lower class.

Why the hype?

Michelle Obama is not causing the nation to [re]consider _anything_ or to do _anything_ en masse.

There is no need for, nor do Americans desire, any kind of federal government or nation-wide “food policy” any more than they need or want a “clothing policy” or “speech policy” or “thought policy,” despite the serious wishes among some on the fringist Left to the contrary. Americans want _none_ of this stuff.

Sixties-activism-reissued-in-the-late-2000s with regard to food or anything else is not a priority, or proper.

We don't need or want a PC “paradigm shift” about food or anything else, no corruption of public health and public health _care_ to include PC stuff in addition to improper “wellness” and “lifestyle” meddling, etc.
