When I see shit pushed under the banner of public health..Items like women must live like they are"pre-preganant forever ,Or the FDA wants to control portion sizes in restaurants, All the junk science about weight and fat.. I can't help but think back to the NAZIS and their obsessions with public health,appearance"purity"and reproduction..

Nazis were "health obsessed" among other sicko things ... and the shit I see being touted by the FDA and some self righteous fat phobics is too similar to what the NAZIS tried to push onto germans for their own good years ago.There are similarities in the control tactics used.. Do we really want the state nosing in,regulating what we eat and how much ,what we do and when,how much we can weigh,who we have sex with,what we can and cannot do for "our own good"??,Do you really want to give the state the permission to force us all into a " divine order" where everyone does as the state says ,do you want everyone forced to be skinny,do you want the state making us into their leaders self serving model of the perfect pure super body while the rest who can't fit this'ideal'suffer for their inability to "measure up" to some crazy ideal of what a "healthy" person of "good stock" might be in some social engineer assholes' mind??

People who feel morally superior to fat people ought to get off their moral ego trip and realize obesity isn't JUST about SELF CONTROL.Nobody knows why some people get fat. IT is not SIMPLE. IF it was as simple as dieting,than people would not be fast after dieting.90 percent of dieters REGAIN it. What's really happing is the state is seeking a way to INTRUDE into our lives under the banner of"public health"...And You squawking self righteous fat phobics are opening the door when you support this"health based" "for your own good" bullshit as if it was the state's job to tell people you think take up too much space how to live .
**************************************************************
But this is NOT a coincidence. The following logic closed-loop quite simply explains the identity, which exists regardless of the political credo:

* Public health needs a strong state.
* The strong state needs broad powers in order to implement public health. Personal liberties and freedom of choice are the largest obstacles to such implementation, and they must be eliminated by submitting them to public health values at first, and by eventual abrogation when they are sufficiently weakened.
* The strong state needs to justify its actions. For political reasons, that justification must appear rational. This is where junk science, for example, comes in.
* Of course, public health, even when the issue is in the ascendant, is not necessarily the sole or primary motivation for those who seek to build a strong state. Public health is, however, the perfect rationalization for the state intrusion into the lives of citizens. Such intrusion is essential for those who seek, for whatever reasons, to expand state power.
* The strong state also needs healthy citizens to maximize income and minimize expenditures.
* For all the above reasons, the strong state needs public health. Any long term social consequences are of no concern for the politicians in power today.

Notice in particular how the elimination of homosexuals and other forms of sexual deviance is treated as a matter of public heath. This isn’t just a moral issue, it’s a question of medical science: elimination of sexual deviance is like the elimination of parasites, viruses, and bacteria. In this way, its’s no longer necessary to feel any human compassion for those who are targeted by the state. They aren’t people, they are a disease. Their suffering is necessary for the greater good.

Be careful what you ask for from the state on behalf of OTHER PEOPLE'S OWN GOOD..,you might get more than you bargained for!!!
