INCORRECT FOOD

"Listening to today's health police, you'd think that consumers were being attacked by malevolent, unhealthy snacks. 'Fast food is infiltrating our culture ... It's basically everywhere,' warns Kelly Brownell, father of the 'Twinkie tax' and scientific advisor to the Center for Science in the Public Interest. 'We have too much food in this country,' complains Marion Nestle, self-anointed captain of the food cops. As if having plentiful food weren't bad enough, it gets worse. Apparently, the marauding menaces of fat, sugar, and salt don't cost enough. Food is 'too cheap,' says Nestle."
