set rant on

What's next fruit juices (which my Dr. told me to cut back on anyway because of their high sugar content)? cookies? cake?

Increased taxation seems to do little to curb consumption.. haven't heard many news stories about NC tobacco farms going under because of the huge recent tax increase... (and yeah I wish they'd all switch their farms to growing something more useful like feeding the country...)

The CDC should go more towards a legislating manditory 30 minutes of physical activity daily for everyone in the country if they really want to solve the obesity problem.
