Let's see now... is the following article a brick in the house being built that says we need to count our calories... for the sake of Nationalized Health Care?

Study: Last Supper paintings supersize the food... Has even the Last Supper been supersized?
The food in famous paintings of the meal has grown by biblical proportions over the last millennium, researchers report in a medical journal Tuesday.
Using a computer, they compared the size of the food to the size of the heads in 52 paintings of Jesus Christ and his disciples at their final meal before his death.
If art imitates life, we're in trouble, the researchers conclude. The size of the main dish grew 69 percent; the size of the plate, 66 percent, and the bread, 23 percent, between the years 1000 and 2000.
Supersizing is considered a modern phenomenon, but "what we see recently may be just a more noticeable part of a very long trend," said Brian Wansink, a food behavior scientist at Cornell University.....
I have a feeling that we are going to start being bombarded from every imaginable angle about our eating habits... going all the way back to Christ now as a comparison of how we should really eat...
The article doesn't mention that during the time of Christ the average life expectancy in Rome was around 20 years... then was up to around 40 when the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock according to medrounds encyclopedia... and now in America it is 77.6 years for the typical American according to Live Science.
So... obviously now our eating habits are bad for us?
A calory counter is coming our way soon... for our own benefit and our nation's benefit... of course.
Consider and ponder.

It's not so much a calorie counter coming our way soon, as it is a means to tax people for their fat.
And that will begin at the entry level of all foods and ultimately on the scale in the doctor's office. And all points in between.
What greater piece of virgin territory to tax than to tax the fat and obese millions in America. And I am more than sure that our friends at the UN will be more than interested in getting their fare share of the bounty to be reaped by taxing the fat and opulent Americans.
Meanwhile, the obesity reality in America is more tied to what we eat and have been eating over the past forty years in this country than anything else.
When trying to solve a crime, you have to go back to the scene of the crime. And the scene of the crime? Was when we allowed the substitution of alternative sugars and enhanced preservatives and flavorings and genetically modified vegetables and animals into our foods.
We were literally begging for the consequences we now see as a consequence of processed foods.
The money to be made is in getting and keeping Americans fat and I am afraid they have accomplished their goals through the use of chemicals and sugars.
And now their goals are to sell us the medications that will stave off or placate the resulting diseases of heart disease and diabetes that are the consequences of our own sloth.
Really helpful insight Lo... thanks!
