Hi. I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that the drug companies are a big reason that, IMHO, the makeup of the food pyramid reccommended by the government will not change anytime soon. The drug companies are one of the biggest political contribution groups and have alot of politicans doing their bidding. Do the drug companies want to see the american public lose weight and become healthier? I don't think so. Who would they sell all that high colesterol, high blood pressure medicene, and insulin to.
I also don't think the government itself is too interested in the American public becoming healthier, living longer, and drawing Social Security checks for a longer period of time. Think about it for a minute. What better way to solve the impending Social Security crisis than have the people that would be drawing checks not be around to collect?
I am not a conspiracy theroist but something doesn't look right here.
