Rush said that personal responsibility is being taken out of the equation. I didn't know there was any left IN the equation to be taken out. Anyway, Rush, when was the last time you encouraged your listeners to take personal responsibility? Hardly ever, other than to occasionally tell them to eat less, in which case they might cut back even more on healthy fresh fruit and vegetables.
Once again, Rush condemns any government attempt to solve the obesity problem but has no real solution of his own. He admits that his own weight goes up and down like a roller coaster. So we have an (often) overweight (biased) person preaching to listeners, 65% of whom are overweight. And they are no doubt lapping it up........hanging on every word. "Yeah, Rush, we don't want anyone telling us what to eat!"
You've heard of "the blind leading the blind?" Well this is a case of the food-addicted leading the food-addicted.
Also, anytime there's a choice between supporting the processed-food industry or the health of his listeners, he will come down on the side of industry. It's a no-brainer. In other words: "Screw you, to the extent that food gets advertised on the radio, I make money." That's his message to the public.
One idea by itself won't solve the obesity problem but one idea might lead to another and another. So here's one idea: Take the tax off of paper products and put it on soft drinks. In other words, do it in such a way that is revenue neutral.
What's your idea?
