>There's some truth to your view. I saw a special on PBS this week which was all about how "low-fat" made America fat and is now making the UK fat as well. Supposedly 40% of Britains are overweight now.
If they drink a diet drink, they can afford to eat fattier food... so they eat and eat.... and drink diet drink.
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
- Alexis de Tocqueville
No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
