 Just curious:-)

I agree. I have always taken the responsiblity for my own knowledge of
nutrition. I don't think you can entirely blame the government for the bad
health of the masses of Americans....it is logical to me to have the
realization that if you are fat, or gaining weight, getting sick on your
present diet, it is up to you to look into your diet and make changes to help
yourself.
I think many people are just lazy mentally and follow whatever anyone says so
they won't have to be responsible... they can pass the blame on to someone
else.
