Reply #52: The government is using our tax dollars to pay farmers to grow corn

[noamnety]

to add to our food supply in the form of HFCS. It's nearly ubiquitous in our foods, including the foods that more tax dollars buy to feed to kids in free lunch programs.

I would like to see anyone using government resources and staff who is lecturing us about eating healthy acknowledge the government's role in paying for the unhealthy food additives that they claim they don't want us eating. I would like to see anyone from the government who is lecturing children about the need to avoid those food choices acknowledge that the government is a key provider of that crap to children living in poverty.

I would like to see them speak out against government funding of programs that are clearly damaging our health on a national scale.

I am sorry if you can't understand that. I don't know how to say it any more directly.
