Government Obesity

BBC prog in three parts has been discussing how food marketers made everyone fat by increasing portion sizes,encouraging grazing and in between meal snacking and adding huge amounts of sugar to soft drinks and sweets.Being a BBC programme of course it was not long before the agenda hove into view:the government should tax sugar.No mention whatsoever of who is to blame for this 'epidemic' of obesity: the people who devour such stuff.Did the marketers pin them down and force-feed them this confection of junk?There is only one threat to the people and it is not supersize burger or coke but supersize government that wants to tell us what to do every minute of the day,to police our eating habits and all our comings and goings.
