Current Media blogs and headlines are covering SCOTUS recent ruling officially legalizing Obama Care. The Conservative Media’s covering SCOTUS’s further destruction of our freedom’s is truly justified and very alarming.  But, if we take a brief step back in time and review some history, we will see government’s control of our health, health care, and food has been in effect for some time now. We will also see the ‘unintended consequences’ has cause the increased risk of serious diseases, diabetes, health problems and death.  One thing for sure  was a  tremendous growth of the Health Care, Big Business and Pharmaceutical Drug Industry. Many drug companies became a “over- night” success with the release of the drugs under the class called Stains.

Government health advisors were influenced by Dr. Ancel Keys warnings about the harmful effects of cholesterol in the diet and his recommendations  of the Mediterranean Diet, Diet-Heart Hypothesis, Cholesterol Hypothesis, Fat-Free Diet and Lipid Hypothesis.

In the early 1990, the U.S. Government released its ‘Food Pyramid’, making Low-fat/High-carb diet the official America's food plan. The Low-Fat/High-carb diet became the fad and law of the land.

I guess better late than never. LaCorte is serving his 4th year as Mayor and was Trustee for I thinkRead More 4 years before that. This year is the only time he has brought the idea to the village about participating in this program. He is motivated by the opportunity of getting positive press for his County Executive campaign. The village should have been involved in this program ( as well as the Americorps program) long before this. On a positive note, hopefully the Village will continue this worthwhile partnership for many years to come.
