Whats worse than a steady diet of one lame donkey cut & paste artist ? (Three of them ! )

Here's the mental equivilent of enriched macaroni & cheese for the brain USA style ...the smug & self satisfied , skewed & unbalanced obese talking head ...don't hesitate to process out all intelligence then try to enrich it later with jingoistic plea , some lean spirited patriotic vitriol , throw dashes of God in for looks and beat the same dead horses for years .

(What ever happened to the GK Chestertons & George Bernard Shaws of yesteryear ? )

Here's an ultra liberal paper in an ultra liberal county and look who they blame Obesity on

In 2007, Montgomery County had the highest rate of obesity in Maryland among WIC participants ages 2 to 5. The average rate of obesity in WIC children in Maryland was 17 percent, versus a high of 20 percent in Montgomery County. Also higher than average were Cecil and Talbot counties. Calvert and Garrett counties had a low of less than 10 percent.Montgomery County's diversity could be partly to blame, said Linda Goldsholl, program manager with Montgomery County's African American Health Program. As a minority-majority county — about 49 percent of Montgomery residents are white — Montgomery has high black and hispanic populations, where obesity has been a greater problem.

Between the prevalence of fast food and commercials that advertize junk food, she said our entire environment is set up to promote poor eating habits.

“There's no place we get off the cycle and really teach how to eat healthy,” Goldsholl said. “We're going to be embarking on trying to get healther food in the county vending machines.”
