A better rant.

I have something to say to the above blogger.

Obama is not God. He cannot make you health conscious. He cannot make you thin because he does not have a magic wand. He cannot make you intelligent.

That comes from YOU.

1. Don't eat hot dogs for lunch. Don't eat veggie dogs for lunch. If you want to be healthy, don't eat anything processed whether its soy or real meat.
2. Don't eat Fritos for lunch.
3. Do more than walking for exercise.
4. The government can't help you lose weight. They can pay for your liposuction if you convince them to. But I watched a cadaver video today and I learned exactly what liposuction does. It is NOT the answer. It messes your body up.
5. Fake butter is just as bad as real butter. If you want it to taste good, use herbs to season it. They count as leafy greens.
6. Don't eat bagels. One bagel has the carb count of 9 slices of bread.
7. Don't drink diet soda. Studies have shown that in the long run, fake sugar makes you think its ok to eat bad food at other times of the day, and increases your hunger in general.
8. Don't drink soda. You don't need it. Water down some fruit juice.
9. Don't drink alcohol. Limit yourself to a glass of wine a day. No beer, you will get a gut.
10. Dark chocolate, the way that you eat it, is not good for you. The bar of dark chocolate that is sitting in front of me contains 22 grams of fat, 68% of your recommended intake for saturated fat, and 16 grams of sugar, because lets face it, even the dark chocolate has to taste good or else it won't sell. If you somehow got your hands on a bag of raw, unprocessed cacao beans, you would have a wonderful supply of antioxidants and magnesium. Unfortunately, it would also have 12 grams of fat per ounce; 7 of those would be saturated fat. I know this because there's a bag of raw unprocessed cacao beans sitting in front of me.
11. "I probably eat more calories than I burn on a regular basis" Thats another problem.
12. "but it is impossible for me to do anything else because the past few administrations have conspired against me... high-calorie, cheap food, a crazed, busy lifestyle with no time to exercise, and all those pesky viruses the kids bring home." The government MAKES you buy Doritos and takes away all your time to exercise AND infects your kids with viruses on purpose???
13. "We face more problems with obesity every day, and yet the Bush Administration did NOTHING for eight long years to help us lose weight and look better." Bush cared about your fat asses enough to send my brothers to Afghanistan so you could continue to sit in your lazy chair getting fatter instead of getting bombed by someone who hates the fact that you are allowed to live in a capitalist society and buy all the junk food you want whenever you want, and wear tight shirts and shorts that ride up your crack even though it makes some people puke a little in the backs of their throats just to look at you.

Bottom line, if you don't want to be fat, work for it. Limit your portions, exercise, don't eat junk, and educate yourself on proper diet and exercise. Many people get fat because they don't know the effect their "diet plan" will have on their body.
