“Let’s Move… the corporations that pawn junk food out of town!” - And bring them all to Russia, right RT? You write about how they are poisoning Americans, yet celebrate the opening of stores in Russia, why? I don't want them here and this is just one of the many reasons.

The wrong kind of stress all of the time. Mooooo. Mooooo. Mooooo. Fine. If that's your desire for your ascent, then so shall it be. Thin is the polished gem. My grandmother told me that mine is the second generation of two that eats for entertainment and this baffled and disturbed her. My main concern is what is going to happen when a population of diabetic and heartbroken are cutoff from their food supply since we don't even have enough to feed our own in our system.

There are millions of Americans who go to bed hungry every night. This is outrageous the way the American government throws away American tax payer's money all over the world just to look big and important. All Foreign Aid should be ceased immediately and the money used to feed and house hungry and homeless/sick Americans. Enough is enough. Fat/overeating children should be a concern of the children's parents, not an intrusive/controlling out of touch government. Let's not get stupid. The starving need help more than rich/overeating spoiled kids. Wealth leads to over indulgence but as things are going in America over the last year there may not be many wealthy people left when WALL STREET and the BANKSTERS get finished with America.
