Veggie Wars – PART II

Saturday, July 30, 2011 @ 10:07 AM  posted by Steve

Last July a post entitled Veggie Wars included a video spoof featuring a formidable cast of Star Wars veggies fighting the good fight against ‘Darth Tator’ and the Evil Empire.  A recent video (below) serves to remind us why we must continue to fight the good fight.

Revisit our Veggie War post as well as a revealing post of August 27, 2010 – Monday Mornings… a Story Behind the Numbers. These two (as with all posts on this blog) lend perspective to the following video produced by our local Oregon advocacy group, OSPIRG.

As health care professionals, both Lorie & I have witnessed first hand the unavoidable aftermath of unhealthy eating habits.  We ARE what we consume.  As this OSPIRG video notes, unhealthy eating habits are subsidized by an equally unhealthy, indecent yet cozy partnership of Corporate Enterprise and Governance (local, state and federal–the ‘Empire’ if you will).

Be on the healthy side of statistics:  Cook healthy, eat honestly, and thrive!

The Fattening of America—Subsidized Obesity & Disease.


The People’s Congress of our founding fathers has long been co-opted by US Corporate interests, and this mutated governance continues to pervert the moral fiber of common decency.  Our best interests will be well served should The People rise up, intervene, irradiate and re-regulate this Corporate malignancy—the unhealthy symptoms and consequences of which are costly and devastating.
