I Call For The Immediate Resignation of Regina M. Benjamin our surgeon general and I charge her with Treason against the American People!
Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes are killing this great nation and making us weak and vulnerable. Our surgeon general Regina M. Benjamin has a mandate set out for her in her job description outlined below.
SHE KNOWS- Sugar, fructose and excess starch are the roots of our obesity epidemic but she does NOTHING to announce this to the American people.
SHE KNOWS- Announcing the truth to the American people would be political suicide therefor she protects her own interests over that of her charge.
SHE KNOWS- 90% of the diabetes medication our citizens are ingesting could be removed from our intake if we were to change our sugar intake.
SHE KNOWS- How much money the pharmaceutical industry will lose if she takes a stand and reveals the truth.
SHE KNOWS what I know ....oh yes SHE KNOWS.....BUT she she chooses to buckle under the pressure of the lobbyists for the sugar industry, the pharmaceutical industry and the food industry.
