Federal Contradiction?

Thanks to and the U.S. Food Policy blog  Another food policy contradiction uncovered. This time the McRib is back and full of un-healthy surprises...

Federal policy and the McRib

"The McRib stands for the proposition that the federal government should help the pork industry promote any product, no matter how contrary to the government's own dietary guidance efforts in the midst of an epidemic of overweight and chronic disease."

Parke Wilde's insight raises a good point.  Whose interest is in the government's hands? Capitalism or Health?
