And all the uneducated people will continue to believe the current government's lies and continue to vote the same parasites into office over and over until the country implodes on itself. And everyone else will just sit there and say why bother voting because it won't make a difference. Thus, things will never change and only get worse.

If you are going to eat yourself to death or smoke yourself to death I say good riddance. As far as involuntary diseases, it would be nice to have more of our budget spent on researching them but that would entail people in power having their priorities straight and when does that happen.

Well, I do think the government could do a lot more to make healthy food options to available to everyone, not just the rich. The really sad fact is, unhealthy food is more available and affordable than the healthy stuff and people aren't educated on how to eat healthy on a budget. For example...spaghetti is pretty cheap. A better option would be wholewheat spaghetti but that can cost 50-75+ cents more than the white pasta. In the long run, buying the more expensive option could be cheaper because it'll make you fuller faster and longer, but if people don't know this (or flat out can't afford it) then they're not going for that particular option.

Also, I think the government could do more to make exercise options available to people. Fuck, a membership at the Y which is supposed to be a cheap option can be just as much as a gym membership these days. And while no, a gym isn't necessary to exercise...some people don't live in areas where you can just go out and walk around the block. They need a safe place to do it otherwise they could get shot.

confusion that being able to win an election equals the same skill set as being an excellent lawmaker/leader

Or just the ability to pull in a crap load of cash...

I agree but there are only so many things the government can do if consumers dont want to buy healthy food. I mean if people really wanted to start eating healthy and started buying organic or fresh foods instead of processed crap I am sure more and more big fast food companies would try to cater to that lifestyle or new ones would pop up but for some reason americans have become proud of being unhealthy fat slobs. America number 1 in confidence even if what you are confident in is :baconsalt:
