Get Me My Psychic Flamethrower

• Almost two weeks ago, I linked to a former food executive writing about the food industry (4th item).  I missed the declaration of pizza as a vegetable (actually, the tomato sauce on pizza, which in the very poorest schools is in fact ketchup, which leads to a Ronald Reagan rant, which you've already heard), but Southern Beale didn't and in fact went on to spell out the way processed food is, frankly, toxic.  You know, poisonous.  Bad for your health.  Particularly if that's all you eat.  Her cite cites the ex-exec mentioned.  His most recent post is on how the food industry markets to kids.

  What do you think? Do you trust BIG Food companies with our children’s health? And why do food companies’ rights to market unhealthy products to our children trump our right to raise healthy kids who aren’t exposed to junk food marketing? It seems like profits are prioritized over our kids, doesn’t it?

  Warning for obesity faith statements, which could have been dropped out of the articles without lessening the impact or losing the point.
