Why the Government is Going to Control Obesity

Obesity is an indication the individual is not getting the nutrition that coincides with health and longevity.

The body stores acidic foods in fat. Acidic foods create an acidic balance in the blood. Acidic balanced blood does not take in the proper amount of oxygen as it passes through the lung barriers.

Cancer breeds in low oxygenated blood. Sickness and disease thrive in these bodies.

An obese body is an indication the brain thinks the body is starving based on the fact it does not recognize the food being consumed. If the body thinks it is starving, it will hold onto everything.

When the body is getting food it recognizes, it will develop an alkaline cancer resistant system that releases all food encapsulated in fat. What food does the body recognize? This is nothing new; fruits, vegetables, protein, nuts, grains, seeds, and good fats.

The reason the government feels the need to exert more control is that it is reeling under the entitlement programs funding healthcare. It is reeling under the social costs of sick people without insurance. Business is less competitive with other nations partly due to health benefits. Non competitive businesses lead to a balance of payment deficit and currency weakness.

A large portion of the population cannot afford health insurance and a large portion of the population is unable or unwilling to adopt a healthy life style. Does the government have to chew off its leg to save itself from a trap in which it is ensnared? Does it sacrifice people or start dictating?

The effort starts with making proper nutrition affordable. It leads to educating the populace on how to eat and stay fit. And if the population is unwilling to follow appropriate guide lines it leads to enormous health care debt that soaks up the capital that could be used for creating jobs.

The government has gone so far as to consider taking obese children away from parents labeling this condition as child endangerment. Obesity is also society and government endangerment because society cannot afford to take care of an increasingly unhealthy population.

The U.S. cannot fight China and India with a hand tied behind its back. At this point developing countries have few safety nets. Therefore they have very high saving rates and low consumption rates. Nations are going to have to meet in the middle to equalize production, consumption, capital, and currencies.

At what point does the government for the greater good and its own survival start demanding how we have to eat and even how to raise our children? The point may be arriving soon.
