Girth of a Nation
NYT: Girth of a Nation
“Far too few Americans,” declares the center’s Web site, “remember that the Founding Fathers, authors of modern liberty, greatly enjoyed their food and drink. … Now it seems that food liberty - just one of the many important areas of personal choice fought for by the original American patriots - is constantly under attack.”
It sounds like a parody, but don’t laugh. These people are blocking efforts to help America’s children.
And they released this statement with a straight face?
Yes, they have every right to market these tasty products to us and our children. Technically, they have the right to lobby against bills that would hurt their bottom line. Like my momma always says, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
Have some social responsibility guys.
I draw the line at financing advocacy groups to put out lies and false reports. They should’t have any right to that and should be held accountable for.
