Do you want the government deciding what your child should eat?

by brenda on February 22, 2012

If you’ve read this blog much, you know that I’m anti-soy, anti-sugar, anti-processed foods. If you know much about the USDA guidelines for food, you know that in our country, eating dry cereal is considered healthy and eating more than 1 egg per day is considered hazardous to your health. It is one thing to have these healthy standards “out there” and to be able to make our own choices. It is another thing when the schools start dictating what our children can and cannot eat based on these ludicrous government standards. Check out the following clip:

I would be apalled if that was my child!

The Weston Price Foundation came out with a nifty little book called Healthy For Life, with more adequate dietary guidelines and recently held a press conference on the topic.

In the very least, our liberty ought to include the right to choose what kind of food we consume and what kind of food we feed our family. No big government (run by big businesses) should be determining what we nourish our bodies with.

    Great article! I feel the same way when it comes to the non-labeling of GMO’s, just another way they are deciding for us on what we should feed our kids. We are the parents who know best, where is our choice in the matter!! Tarena, I had no idea you were writing here, I have been reading this blog for a few a while and it wasn’t until you posted to FB that I connected it was you…Awesome blog!!

    Frankly, it is an outrage that any government could dictate what a family chooses to eat. It is an outrage that people can’t find raw milk to drink because it is illegal to sell in many places. When governments can make these kinds of decisions, whether it is what we eat or how we raise our children, we are at the mercy of some “expert” and what they believe to be right. Thanks for a great site.
