The editors of the New York Times are in a state of angst. Even though the Standard of Progressivism knows what people should be eating, profit-seeking private enterprise continues to poison people for profit and it costs too much to grow healthy food. What to do? Tax foods the government fails to approve and subsidize the foods government likes. It is so simple, and everyone knows that the “experts” (and the article openly refers to those “experts”) should be telling us what to eat.

Notice that the article makes no reference to the government’s war on fat, the symbiotic relationship (as Karen De Coster has pointed out many times) between the government and the food industry, and the government’s war on raw milk and raw cheese. No, if people are eating unhealthy foods, it is because of private enterprise and solely private enterprise. Government experts need to be in charge of everything. And read the NY Times.
