Harvard Researchers Say Insurers Hold $1.88 Billion In Fast-Food Stocks, Put Profits Over Health

Bulls**t and lies.

Just weeks after the passage of a health bill that will dramatically increase the number of Americans covered by private health insurers, Harvard researchers have detailed the extent to which life and health insurance companies are major investors in the fast-food industry - to the tune of nearly $2 billion.

Although fast food can be consumed responsibly, research has shown that fast-food consumption is linked to obesity and cardiovascular disease, two leading causes of death, and contributes to the poor health of children. The evidence is so compelling that as part of the new health law more than 200,000 fast-food and other chain restaurants will be required to include calorie counts on their menus, including their drive-through menus.

As the liars who claim authorship to this piece:

Physicians for a National Health Program

state, then discount, "Although fast food can be consumed responsibly...fast-food and other chain restaurants will be required to include calorie counts..." it is all about the Calories.

Fat people overconsume Calories from all sources and blaming fast foods is just plain wrong.

Fast foods are not the fundamental problem.

Neither is investment in businesses engaging in legitimate activities.

The dissembling Physicians for a National Health Program and its ilk are.
