The McGovern Report

Back



From the comedy documentary "Fat Head," a comedian's reply to "Super Size Me." The official government policy of promoting a lowfat diet had nothing to do with science and everything to do with politics.

see you idiots say that eating grain and wheat is good for you. that is a lie. The way that america should be eating that would drastically drop heart disease, high cholesterol and diabetes is eating meat, seeds and nuts, vegetables, some fruit, little starch, no sugar, no grain. this is the basis of a country that would live to be thinner leaner people. look at eskimos who only really eat meat. Calories are not important either. as long as you are eating like you should be you can pig out.

Anytime you take a food that nature has given us and ALTER it , you MAKE IT WORSE. Healthful red meat has fat, chicken has skin , eggs have yolks. If you desire health , then stop trying to tell Mother Nature it is stupid.

What amazes me is that McGovern's committee somehow managed to completely overlook the experience of our own Native Americans. When they lived on fatty red buffalo meat, they were lean and strong with virtually no diabetes or heart disease. When they were forced onto reservations and became grain-eaters, they became fat and diabetic and prone to heart disease.

There are 18 clinical dietary intervention trials to date examining the effect of saturated fat restriction on CHD mortality and incidence. NONE fo these show saturated fat to increase CVHD mortality or incidence. The Women's Health Initiative 2006 is the most recent. Look into Dr. Ravnskov, Dr. Kendrick and Dr. McCully.

well good luck. hopefully you wont be out money. whole grains, vegetables, beans, healthy meat, low calories: this is the simple basis for good health. to see people spreading nonesense when they should know better is dr atkins territory.

umm.. you're a comedian who is just trying to profit off another's movie's success. obviously, eating healthy lowers heart disease. you're throwing out data and becoming sensational yourself in hopes that you're movie will be successful. but what you failed to realize is that there are many supersize knockoffs now, and the public is getting burned out by them.

What's typically promoted as "eating healthy" is a load of nonsense, which is one of the main points the film addresses. The public is burned out on replies to Super Size Me?!! Holy moses, somebody better explain that to the distributor who signed for the film.

I'm not a strong believer in those 9/11 conspiracy theories, but if 9/11 was an inside job, then I would say "trans fats was CSPI's 9/11".

I'm pretty sure the "mainstream" corporate-controlled media types - even Faux News - will not give you a chance. Your best bet would probably be going on an alternative radio show such as the Alex Jones radio show (or Deadline Live with Jack Blood, who frequently has "Food as a weapon" as his show topics). But the corporate media will pass on it or label you as a "loopy moonbat conspiracy theorist". That's how they operate. If you go against the mainstream, you're labeled a weirdo.
