(Food) Police Corruption Scandal

(Food) Police Corruption Scandal

By Jeff Stier, Esq.

Nutrition activists like the Center for Science in the Public Interest
are scaring Americans away from technology that could help us lose
weight.

There is plenty of blame to go around for America's growing obesity
crisis. Responsible or not, fast food, sodas in schools, and even
SpongeBob Squarepants (see http://cspinet.org/new/200311101.html) have
all come under attack. But one villain has gotten off scot-free. Until
today. By scaring consumers about "unnatural products," "processed
food," and "artificial additives," the food police, led by Michael
Jacobson's Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), are guilty
of interfering with American's effort to battle the bulge.

Some background: The federal government's recently published dietary
guidelines (see http://www.healthierus.gov/dietaryguidelines/) provide
a science-based approach to healthy eating. But while the guidelines
are good, they are a radical departure from how most Americans eat
today, and for the vast majority of obese Americans, willpower,
discipline, and guilt only go so far. For those most at risk, the "eat
only good foods" approach doesn't work. People need help to bridge the
large gap between how they _are_ eating and how they _should be_
eating, especially with respect to the number of calories they consume.
Food technology, while certainly not the only solution, is one
important tool to help us get there.

Yet the activists fight scientific advances that could provide
appealing lower-calorie options, preferring to wag their fingers at us
until we change our eating behavior. They told us saccharin caused
cancer, for instance, and they made a big joke out of the promising fat
substitute, Olestra (see:
http://www.acsh.org/healthissues/newsID.583/healthissue_detail.asp).
Yet the artificial sweeteners and fat substitutes on the market are
perfectly safe. And the food police hype hypothetical threats at the
expense of our effort to combat the real threat of obesity. Worse yet,
the predictable opposition to each new technology has a chilling effect
on the development of new products that can make food taste good with
fewer calories.

While consumption habits vary, imagine that a typical overweight person
drinks a 12-ounce can of cola a day. At 155 calories, that adds up to
56,575 calories a year. While it would be nice to replace the soda with
a more nutritious beverage, or with zero-calorie water, that is too big
a lifestyle adjustment for some people to make (at least at first). But
if one replaced full-calorie soda with a diet soda (while maintaining
the same activity level), that modest change alone would result in a
loss of 16.2 pounds in just one year. Similar losses would take place
if fat replacers such as Olestra and Z-Trim were made more available as
well.

Weight-loss aids like these will help people take small steps, rather
than demanding they take large leaps. This initial success at weight
loss may also motivate people to commit to an exercise program. Yet the
products of food technology, both products that exist and ones in the
pipeline, are demonized by those who are supposedly promoting the
public interest.

They're contributing to the health problems they purport to combat.
Isn't it time we held them accountable?

Some people are just plain mean ....

Among the meanest are those who insist on "Willpower" as the solution.

X-No-Archive: yes

no, you're not meant in the sense you define it. telling pple that they
should refrain from taking pictures of themselves, or they should not
celebrate any weightloss until they've made their goals, won't make them
lose their weight any quicker.

what's happened to you? you've been ultra mean in the last 3 weeks. in
the past you were occassionally sensible. now we don't even get that
part of you. have you abducted the old JC???? or has Perdu and Bunky
finally driven you mad? give the old JC back to us!!!

I thought Olestra made you poop your pants and that's why it never became
popular. Seems to me that diet sodas are big sellers.

He's got a big ugly high stress test week for the kids this week,
although taking it out on other people still isn't cool.

BTW JC, tell the techs that the school website maintenance sucks. I
had to go to another high school in the district to see a calendar for
crying out loud.

Take care,
Carmen

They can't even get our bells to ring on time, and you think they can handle
something as difficult as a website?

At times I feel trapped in a swirling vortex of technological ineptitude.

It's a *high school*. There's got to be a tech-savvy kid or 20 there.
Doesn't your school have an AV Club or whatever today's equivalent
is?
You all need a geek squad. <G>

I don't need bells. The students leave when I tell them they can leave.
It's the other teachers that need bells.

Sounds perilously close to an excuse to me. There are geeks
everywhere.
Put a geek joke on the board and then nail, um I mean *recruit* anyone
who gets it for the school tech team.
The one: "There are 10 types of people in the world, those who
understand binary and those who don't" will do for a start.
Damn boy, be proactive. Change it.

Take it easy,
Carmen

As if I have the time and energy to care whether or not the bells and the
website work properly.

I'm a math teacher. Not a technician.

You can surely throw them out (verbally or physically) but how do you
summon them without a bell?
