In the reading I connected most with the sixth chapter of Michael Pollen’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Chapter six spoke about how and why administrations such as Nixon’s have helped make us as citizens more unhealthy and disease prone. These administrations did what they could to make their people eat more so that they, in turn, could make more money. I connected to this message because I feel that even after the Nixon administration made these selfish changes in the early 1970s, we still face the same problems today in 2010. The fact that the people in charge are so obsessed with the money and power they have that they feel like they can sabotage their people’s health for their own fiscal benefit is absolutely sickening and rather inhumane. These decisions by our government have led to extremely serious problems in terms of diseases such as type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related issues, and it must stop. In order for our county to be healthy and successful we must not let the government continue to hinder our health, but rather we should do all we can to have a voice of our own and make our own personal decisions about what we put in our body.

It's evident that you feel very strongly about the decisions our government has made in the past regarding what American's eat. Public health is a big issue, our most recent presidential election was almost solely focused on the topic (ignoring race.), you would think the people in charge would do all they could to stop greedy companies from stuffing their pockets by providing low quality, calorie ridden garbage. It is a public issue because we need the government's help in stopping such, as you put it 'sickening and rather inhumane' actions.
