I just hope Americans come to understand that food isn't something to be manipulated by our teeth and shoved down our gullet, that it's our spiritual and physical nourishment and important to our well-being as a nation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In America, we are engaged in constant battle with food.
The implications of Americans devoting their lives to fast food are more profound than the fact that our kids aren't eating well. There are real repercussions that we need to know about and think about.
We would be a much healthier culture if the government had never told us how to eat.
The growing attention Americans are paying to what they put into their mouths has touched off a new scramble by the processed-food companies to address health concerns.
Food is not just what we put in our mouths to fill up; it is culture and identity. Reason plays some role in our decisions about food, but it's rarely driving the car.
Americans are like Pac Man. We just eat our way through the day. There's always something going into the mouth.
America is a country of abundance, but our food culture is sad - based on huge portions and fast food. Let's stop with the excuses and start creating something better.
It's okay to take the food out of the mouths of the citizens from a government that's plotting an attack directly on American soil.
I hope someday we will be able to proclaim that we have banished hunger in the United States, and that we've been able to bring nutrition and health to the whole world.
We as Americans have ripped off the world. We get to throw food away. It's insane.
