Citizens in the United States are suffering from obesity. Who really cares? Everywhere you dine, meals are served that are twice the size a normal person can eat. Senior citizens find it even worse. This is a waste of food, when there are many people in the world (and even in Anderson) who are starving. It’s a waste of money, when we are in financial crisis. It’s absolute irresponsibility on the part of everyone in the restaurant business. Why can’t we be sensible?
I would appreciate getting a meal more conducive to good nutrition and being able to clean my plate. When I take leftovers home, I usually end up disposing of them, because they are seldom satisfactory when reheated. Probably the heavy eaters don’t agree with my philosophy, but how many pounds are they overweight?

Letter: Consumer-driven economy will pay off debt
To save America some money — by acclimation of course — let’s not have a presidential election in 2012. We already have a good president who will do his best to kill all Republican bills (DOA) and, consequently, create more good-paying jobs in the $30 per hour range.

Letter: Gingrich cashes in on political amnesia
Rasmussen says that Romney has flattened nationally. Why?
Two reasons seem to tell the tale. Gingrich has shown that he will fight, and Romney is a Mormon, believed to be a “cult” by a majority of evangelicals. -
Letter: Hiring Winkler not wise spending
As a taxpayer I want to know that my taxes are being spent wisely. Hiring Greg Winkler at a salary of $126,000 is not wise spending.

Letter: Bill of Rights being nullified by new law
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve. I doubt many Americans noticed its implications because they do not yet comprehend the big picture. This law, coupled with the Patriot Act, is paving the way for America’s direction toward tyranny.
