FAT LIKE GOVERNMENT

In her article, "Fat Like America," Pamela White describes the World
Health Organization as an "international health force(s)" (Uncensored,
Jan. 22.) What is that all about? Do we now need Twinky police?

You guys at the BW have a long pro-choice history. When it comes to
prostitution, it should be a matter of choice, you say, between
consenting adults. When it comes to the legalization of marijuana (and
other drugs), you think it should be a matter of personal choice. When
it comes to abortion, you demand that it is a woman's right to make
the choice.

But when it comes to Twinkies, you think we need laws. You're joking,
right? Every time somebody is bad and eats a Twinky, he should be
taxed, so the government, instead of the individual, can get fatter?

When I want your opinion on my diet, I'll ask you for it. But until
that day comes, step away from MY right to choose!
