The Institute of Medicine (naturally following my demonization of the french fry in my book) has recommended that there be fewer starchy vegetables and french fries in our children's meals. I happen to think this is right, but I also think they have no business telling or recomending what a parent should feed a child. Now, as The Hill shows, the politicians are getting into the act, just as the McGovern Committee did years ago, to complete intertwine politics and science. Even the science is less agressive than it easily could be. Government recommendations got us into this obesity epidemic.
