Most Americans Want Public Policies to Prevent Obesity

[Al Today]

A large majority of Americans say they support changes in public policy to stem the rising tide of obesity among adults, a new survey shows.

"There is a lot of support for employer and health policies aimed at preventing obesity," said lead researcher Bernard Fuemmeler, an assistant professor in the department of community and family medicine at Duke University Medical Center, in Durham, N.C.

"This study provides tangible evidence that people support wide-scale policy changes that can affect obesity in the U.S.," Fuemmeler added.

Here we go people.!.!.!
The screws keep getting tighter.!.!.!
THEY NOW HAVE THE CLAMPS ON SMOKERS.
If we can't take care of ourselves, our gubement will.!.!.!
And let's not forget all those fit and trim people who think all people of girth are a problem.
What will it take for people to WAKE UP?
It'll probably be too late when enough people 'see' what's coming.
And if someone asks me, "How did this happen?", I just might backhand 'em

I smoke & am not so fit & trim...

No matter how I look at this, I am hosed.

Something that came to my mind after reading this....

I can`t find the relevant link, but I believe Laura mentioned somewhere that being "physically important" may be a necessary factor for one to be able to channel STO beings. Maybe one of the several goals of this is to limit the opportunities of contact?

Also needless to say, public opinion and especially polls/surveys of it are very manipulable.

Hmm...

I don't think it's so bad. Well if they wanted to get rid of obesity proper then they would need to make so many fundamental food manufacturing and advertising alterartions that the entire idea is just busy work for the over concerned, read meddlesome.

Well, you really have to wonder what is going on here. On the one hand, we KNOW that much obesity and health problems are caused by truly poor nutrition. Take a look at this series of articles from SOTT:

You Are What You Eat

Read the last one in the chain first.

So, certainly, if regulatory agencies would put the kibosh on the food industry so that it would not be allowed to advertise sugared, chemical cardboard as "nutritious food", that would be helpful. I know from living in France after being accustomed to the American style of food and eating, that there is a truly vast difference in the way Americans approach food and the way the rest of the world does. Of course, I think that UK is right behind the U.S. in really bad eating habits and France, and other European countries, are also being "infected."

The food industry is all about making money. Period. They spend millions figuring out what chemicals, what taste, what combination, will be addictive and make the customer buy more and more and more. And one of the things that makes the body want more is the fact that the necessary nutritional elements are lacking. If you eat a Big Mac and your brain scans the blood for nutrients, it doesn't find everything it needs and the message gets sent down to the stomach: "need nutrient X, Y and Z, be hungry and get it for me." So you eat another, and another... or more of whatever; never getting what your body really needs.

So, I'm not sure what the "public policy" to stem the tide of obesity is aimed at, but if it is directed at dealing with the food industry, it's a good thing. If not, then its just another manifestation of depopulation.

Sorry I hadn't really kept up with the news, and I was unaware of the apparent fight between the FSA and food producers (but then I obviously should have before answering to something on "Sign's News Articles")

When I first read the post I envisioned something like hyper control of people's habits, but from what they say it's only providing people with information, which is good if the info is accurate (I'm thinking maybe there's a possibility of food producers/ controllers saying something like "well sugar is bad, so let's replace all the sugar with aspartame"... hair standing on its end. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if aspartame was a small part of the whole depopulation thing)

So, certainly, if regulatory agencies would put the kibosh on the food industry so that it would not be allowed to advertise sugared, chemical cardboard as "nutritious food", that would be helpful.

Yeah I was so horrified when I started learning about nutrition and saw what was passed off as "healthy food" I almost couldn't believe it. That's one of the many points where it's pretty damn clear that information is power, and lack of information is disempowerment. Now when I see my friends & family eating that kind of stuff I ask them if they want to know what it does, and wouldn't you know it I don't think I ever got a single yes. I don't want to impose anything on them so I mostly shut up, but at the same time it makes me so sad.

Obviously the single biggest contributor to obesity is the food industry, and it's a teeny tiny bit hard to believe the government would go against something so profitable (and apparently influential - didn't they do lots of lobbying?), and the idea's crossed my mind before that the impoverishment and toxification of people's diet may be an attack on our health and by consequence on our level of resistance to stress and diseases - but then it could easily be just greed too. While we're at it food might influence our brain functioning in some ways (not so sure about that, but in my case it has an influence on moods), and it's easy to see how that could be played on.

I read those articles about depopulation - just plain scary is what (I think the "silent weapons" one was already mentioned on the forum, or maybe a part of it - but it's always a good reality check/ shock). Just right now I don't see so much of a link between both things, but then I'm real tired this morning and that don't do no good to my thinking processes - probably I'll get it once i slept and read again.

marie: I can`t find the relevant link, but I believe Laura mentioned somewhere that being "physically important" may be a necessary factor for one to be able to channel STO beings. Maybe one of the several goals of this is to limit the opportunities of contact?

jax: Hello marie-not sure if this is what you are referring to but just came across this on page 562 of Secret History quoted by the C's:

By invigorating the Organs the Soul uses for communicating with exterior objects, the Soul must acquire greater powers not only for conception but also for retention and therefore if we wish to obtain, still more knowledge, the organs and secret springs of physical life must be wonderfully strengthened and invigorated.

This was mentioned in connection with the importance of the pituitary gland- which is greatly adversely affected by obesity not to mention makes a mess of the entire endoctrine system (throwing it off balance).

from link:http://www.cushings-help.com/definitions.htm#p
Pituitary gland: Because the pituitary controls the function of most other endocrine oval gland at the base of the brain, in the fossa (depression) of the sphenoid bone,which produces a number of different hormones . It oversees hormone production by the sex glands (the ovaries, in women), adrenal glands, and thyroid gland. Pituitary disorders (such as tumors) can cause amenorrhea -- and, thus, be mistaken for early menopause.

The overall role is to regulate growth and metabolism. The gland is divided into the posterior and anterior pituitary, each responsible for the production of it's own unique hormones.

The pituitary gland makes hormones that affect the growth and the functions of other glands in the body and secretes hormones controlling ovulation. An image of the pituitary gland.

The pituitary secrets several hormones which are as follows:

Prolactin
TSH ( thyroid stimulating hormone)
FSH ( Follicle stimulating hormone)
LH ( luteinizing hormone)
ACTH ( adrenocorticotropic hormone)
ADH ( antidiuretic hormone)
Other pituitary gland disorders.

Another site mentions:
Acute regulation of insulin release by the pituitary gland in relation to hyperinsulinaemia and obesity
A Beloff-Chain, S Bogdanovic, and MA Cawthorne

http://joe.endocrinology-journals.org/cgi/content/abstract/81/3/271

The pituitary glands from mice rendered obese by gold thioglucose treatment and by dietary manipulation, and pituitary glands from lean mice after a high food intake or a glucose load, were shown to stimulate insulin secretion from isolated pancreatic islets. The insulin releasing activity of pituitary glands from obese (ob/ob) mice was reduced by fasting for 24 and 48 h. Results obtained with pituitary glands from ob/ob and from lean ob/+ and +/+ mice suggest that the insulin releasing property manifests a gene dosage effect. Pituitary glands from 3-week-old (young) ob/ob mice stimulated insulin secretion to the same extent as pituitary glands from 3-month-old (adult) ob/ob mice. The pancreatic islets of young ob/ob mice were shown to be somewhat more responsive to stimulation by the pituitary factor than were lean ob/+ or +/+ islets from this age group. The concept that high insulin level, partly under pituitary control, and high caloric intake may be interlinked and may, in combination, be a major factor in producing obesity is discussed. Furthermore, it is suggested that the pituitary insulin releasing factor may play a role in the early development of obesity in the animal models studied.

Session page 561 SHOTW:

Q: (A) Which part of the human extends into 4th density?
A: That which is effected by pituitary glad.
Q: (L) And what is that?
A: Psychic.

Laura goes on page 562 to write "...when properly "connected" the pituitary may indeed, be the gland that can initiate the processes of transmutation.

Q: (L) Could it be said that the pituitary gland itself is the body's own "mother stone?"
A: If you prefer.
Q: (J) What exactly is the function of the pituitary gland in your references to Stonehenge?
A: This gland is your uplink.



Question: Could the "secret springs of physical life" referred to be the endoctrine system (hormones)?

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if aspartame was a small part of the whole depopulation thing.

Aspartame, Marie? You might want to check the links available from googlesearching Rumsfeld Aspartame:

I might be way off base here, but I heard a commercial on the TV for vaccines to combat both obesity and smoking. Hmmmm. To put a twist to what Laura says, "There is (or soon will be) a vaccine for everybody. What with brainwashing parents that they need to vaccinate their kids, and everyone knows how we need to get those flu shots; now we have vaccines for cancer, and supposedly also obesity and smoking. It won't be long before everyone will be required to get a vaccine for something.

And my husband, who does not want to hear about any "truths" was telling me the other day how they are now making computer parts so small that they are smaller than a grain of sand. "Heck," he said,"it won't be anything to slip one into a shot and without you knowing it, put it into your body." Ah, the light shines. :)

Anyway, just some thoughts I'm tossing around.

 

[Marie]

Thanks Petey for the link - now why am I not surprised? It's a chemical weapon alright.

Jax, thanks for the info. Am still unable to find the link i was referring to, but well - who knows, I might have misinterpreted. Thing is I never researched obesity and only know the general stuff about it - and I don't have real-life experience to rely on, so I'll just go with whatever POV's got more evidence for it. If I can ever find the time I'll try and find if there's any way we could "help" the pituitary gland work better, though it might just be a matter of not hindering it.

And my husband, who does not want to hear about any "truths" was telling me the other day how they are now making computer parts so small that they are smaller than a grain of sand. "Heck," he said,"it won't be anything to slip one into a shot and without you knowing it, put it into your body."

*Makes a weird face*

See i had heard that before, but it was from a guy who got his info from Icke-y type sources (and swore the queen of England was a shape-shifting lizard) so at the time I figured it was probably fear-mongering or distraction. If it's true, then... *shudders* did it just get cold in here?

Hi, excitotoxins by richard blaylock is a great book, he talks about a group of amino acids glutamate (msg), aspartic acid (aspartame), cysteine, their ability to cross the blood brain barrier and its affect on the brain, of which the pituatory and hypothalamus take quite a beating. Huntingtons disease, Parkinsons, Altzhiemers, ALS are all associated with excitotoxins, the only difference in which disease you get is which part of the brain gets damaged the most.
In terms of obsity excitotoxins damage the hypothalamus which acts as the appetite regulator, amongst other things. The more excitoxins are introduced into your foods there is less chance of you reaching satiety after meals and the link between eating and being full is lost. MSG, hydrolyzed protein, and aspartame are the biggest culprits in my opinion to the obesity epedemic, as soon as I remove excitotins from a persons diet weight loss starts. The problem is it is not being properly labled on goods, food companies are very savy to public awareness and hide excitotoxins on lables. The best trick is to add it to other ingredients and just label the lot as 'spices'. MSG, hydrolyzed proteins have an amazing affect on the tastebuds, as soon as drop of msg in solution is dropped onto the tongue, the taste buds open up like tulips, thus they make even the most bland food a taste sensation and highly addictive. The food companies know this very well and even bragg about it in their marketing, a certain fast food chicken establishment boasts about its 'secret spice' it uses on its chicken, a crisp (chips) manufacturer uses the phrase 'once you pop you just can't stop' . This is very slick .........no....sick marketing. The types of foods it is in is anything with yeast extract, crisps, whey protein, vegetarian foods, pizza's, chinese take aways, it's even in cigarettes. And check this out Baby formulae. My advise to all mums is to stay away from formulae at all costs as your child will end up with and underdeveloped skull (please see the weston price foundations website www.weston-price.org) and a compromised neuroendocrine systems. Raw milk is your best bet for babies as its as close as you can get to the real thing. Guess what raw milk is illegal in the uk and us......the house always wins....There are cow sharing programmes though and you can freeze the stuff without losing any of the nutrition.
Aspartame isn't a flaovour enhancer it's a sweetener but studies show that you are less likely to loose weight and more likely to put on weight if you go for the diet soda option. The reason for this is that as soon as something sweet passes your lips your hypothalamus registers this and tells the pancreas to start spewing out insulin, unfortunatley there is no sugar in the blood for insulin to guide into the cells and the levels of insulin in the blood remain high. Your hypothalamus has an ingenious way to get round this problem, it produces a neural hormone that makes you hungry! So 15 min after drinking a diet soda you're craving food..big time

Grr... I all-too-casually indulged in some take-away pizza today: this when I know its made of msg-laced products. Anyway, thanx for pointing out that book Bernard. A small correction: when I looked up 'Excitotoxins' on Amazon, the book was by one Russell L Blaylock, and not Richard as you said.

 

[Hildegarda]

So, I'm not sure what the "public policy" to stem the tide of obesity is aimed at, but if it is directed at dealing with the food industry, it's a good thing. If not, then its just another manifestation of depopulation.

I saw this subject coming up in a media a year or two ago. And back then they were mostly lamenting how obesity causes a variety of health problems, and then people overload the healthcare system. They were almost making obesity sound as a moral flaw and a sign of a bad citizenship. So yeah, it is all about depopulation. I mean, if school systems contract fast food producers to provide school lunches for kids, and nobody blinks an eye, it's a joke really.

 

[Bernard Marx]

the book was by one Russell L Blaylock and not Richard as you said.

yeah dude the excitotoxins have already done their damage on me, but it's not to late for you.
In the back of the book there is a list of where you find excitoxins in foods and how to spot them on labels. There is an article by rense that copies the table out of the book and gives you a brief summary of excitotoxins. http:(2slsh)www(dot)rense(dot)com/general35/hidd.htm

Question: Could the "secret springs of physical life" referred to be the endoctrine system (hormones)?

This is a question I've asked myself. You got to wonder why so many things in our environment like drugs and food are geared toward upsetting our neuroendocrine balance.

Many hormones that were thought to function outside of the central nervous system have been found in the CNS also. Researchers are only at the beginning in trying to figure out their role in the CNS. Uplink indeed. The sex steroid hormones for example have a huge impact in the CNS and resultant behavior. Brain derived estrogens for example, activate and modulate a variety of social behaviors (in males especially). Combine the various estrogenic compounds in the enviornment (food and water) with all the excitotory amino acids in prescription meds and food, plus stimuli like our mainstream media reports and insipid tv shows what do you get? A lot of social behavior and genetic modification. Soon programming will become complete as the Cs say and you've got the methods. Now we can avoid the TV and so on but we also have to be vigilant about our neuroendocrine, no our overall psycho-physiological state. I'm just partial to neuroendocrine balance because I believe when the uplink functions well, then we can handle the other stuff.

Oh, before I forget, the hormonal state of those you interact with can indirectly affect your own hormonal state. When a person's behavior changes due to hormonal activation, the behavior cause you to act and this can active genes involved in hormone production and release.
