ATTENTION: This is a NEW conspiracy theory! lol
Just another one of my 'somewhat silly?' what if scenarios...
What if America's obesity problem were merely part of a well executed plan? What if 'they' collude to intentionally load all pre-packaged foods with tons of 'extra' carbohydrates? And then 'encourage' the consumer to purchase these items as a 'convenience'? (Full disclosure: I'm a happy low-carb dieter ;)
What if 'they' intentionally, knowingly, contributed largely to the obesity problem in this country? What is it now? Like 60% of Americans are overweight?
But why would 'they' ever consider such a devious, vile plan?
Money? Surely not...
Health care represents 1/6th of our economy, something like 17% of GDP...
How much does obesity 'help' our economy? How much money does our unhealthy life style funnel into the medical industry? Helping to pay the salaries of doctors and nurses. Pumping funds into hospitals. What about the drug companies? What percent of their revenue is a 'direct result' of the, generally, unhealthy life styles of so many Americans?
What if 'they' have been manipulating our existence for decades already? What if 'they' discovered the power of mastering a 'macro-view' and developing 'long term goals' long ago? (Matrix like huh? ;)
What if 'they' were/are 'smart' enough to foresee the potentially positive economic impact of an unhealthy society decades in advance? 'They' would have been right...
Too bad 'they' blew yet another bubble in the process...
No! to health care industry/insurance BAILOUTS!

I think we should do like other places offer those who cant afford it free health care and don't raise our taxes too much. I believe in paying it forward!
