A tough, funny little ad from a doctor’s group takes a wide stance against the fattening of America at taxpayer’s expense. "Dirty Little Secret," it’s called and it’s worth thirty seconds of your time.
Hat-tip to McClatchey, which ran the story on the issue (and the Farm Bill, which is a huge bill that deserves far more scrutiny than it has gotten — it’s also going to change the way food is labeled). For better or worse. The story opens with a good, punchy lede:
If you’re feeling fat these days, blame Congress.
One aspect of the bill they didn’t mention — the Dept. of Agriculture also administers pro-beef advertising campaigns, even though the consumption of beef is not good for our health, and the production of beef is bad for the climate.
