GMO crops, HFCS, unregulated amounts of salt, fat, and sugar in processed foods. Whenever any entity brings up more tightly regulating the food supply they get labeled as a communist or some other kind of fake label. 

No doubt we could use more regulation in what can be put in foods however for the most part its calories in and calories out.   

This is insane.

I point the finger at the food industry and how congress has allowed it to run roughshod for those contributions. All at the expense of US citizens. I don’t expect anything to be done. Americans will simply get sicker and sicker with healthcare costs spiraling.  

They are only a part of the problem.   We are our own biggest enemy when it comes to our health.

Good for health care industry.  My daughter is banking serious coin right now one month out of school.  It's retarded level payouts, IMO.

that sounds like a brilliant idea here... 

let's see... there's at least three people from FS that have met and know me personally.  they can likely attest to my stature if you need to be proven incorrectly. 

are you ignoring the remainder of my commentary for some reason regarding the girth and health of the average power sport user?  maybe you're afraid to offend others here, which I also suspect fit the label.

nothing screams healthy more than riding from bar to bar to drink beer and eat a double bacon cheeseburger or basket of chicken wings.

I'm around hundreds and hundreds of snowmobiler's each year.   While not the healthiest of groups I don't think its out of the norm for the ave American.   My UTV isn't a pavement queen so I don't know what they might look like.

There’s only a few legislative changes involving food producers and marketers that has the potential to alter the health of Americans for the better.

I kind of look at our health like I look at how people attend to their property.   Why is it so many lower income properties look like a heap of shit?  It doesn't take anything but a little elbow grease to clean up the garbage and make a property look decent.   

Same goes with how we take care of ourselves.  It doesn't take much to understand caloric intake and exercise.   Should we make mandatory healthier foods.   100% but a little bit of individual responsibility goes a long ways.

Its like claiming dieting racist.

lmk if you need a guided tour of the obesity display I see actually living up here on a regular basis... and they're not all local residents.  if not, just stop at every Walmart on your next trip up and you'll likely get a clear picture.  

the winter before last we stopped for lunch and there were 9 new SRX's, TCats and Doo Turbos in the lot which seemed odd.  walked inside the bar and there was maybe one fella in the group under 250lbs... the rest nearer to 300 than the latter.  As an example.

I sled the St. Germain area multiple times a year.   I stand by my assessment that sledders are no heavier than the AVERAGE American for the midwest.   Just so happens the ave American is quite large. 

Western sledders are generally more fit.
