Your anecdote flies in the face of the reality where obesity is considered an epidemic in America.
It isn't an anecdote. It is a fact.
Each individual is different and has different tolerances, requirements, etc... there is no one size fits all position. Ii is why they call medicine when it is applied to humans, a practice and not a science.
And the best way to improve the Government's job, is to bring in more Government? (Well, I guess that's how "the Bigger the Better Government" people tend to try and fix things.)
She's not proposing the establishment of a department of broccoli.
Do you ever tire of your own pettiness?

Actually, your little story about you and your doctor is an anecdote. You know what an anecdote is, don't you?
And, semantics aside, is this really your argument against providing our troops healthy choices in their diet?

Cute. Look, you may not find her comments inappropriately patronizing, condescending and intrusive but then you may be the type of person who is happy to have your sister-in-law invite herself over to your home and proceed to go through your cupboards, educating you and your family on all the "unhealthy" foods you have and telling you what you should be eating. "To each, his own, said the old woman as she kissed the cow." Too bad the FLOTUS, apparently never heard that saying.

Again, how does Mrs. Obama's campaign for healthy eating and physical fitness differ from any of the other first ladies' "pet projects?"
Nancy Reagun was all over the place, telling us to "just say no" to drugs. Was that a problem? If not, why not? Was that not patronizing, condescending and intrusive? If not, then why not?

The type of person I am is the kind that doesn't need to feign outrage over ridiculously petty things like this.
Also, I can tell the difference between someone raising awareness and someone telling me what to do.

Great. Now, go eat your veggies like a good little boy.
Well, as a matter of fact, I have some to go with this 18oz. Porterhouse I'm grilling, so thanks for the suggestion.
(My guess is, you were gonna eat them without my telling you to. )
