A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye and YES science now shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart is red and has four chambers. All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows that grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like the neo-cortex. We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.

Kidney beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, rhubarb and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Eggplant, avocadoes and pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female—they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods; modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them.

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Sweet potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the Glycemic index of diabetics.

Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

Grapefruits, oranges, and other citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like body cells. Today’s research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.

This is the "No Fatties Allowed" bill that dontspeak posted about earlier.

First of all, I totally disagree with it. I think its an absolutely ridiculous idea. Its weight segregation, and I see no difference in that than in race segregation.

There are a few different, better ways that the government could help the rise in obesity in America without treating a high percentage of its population like they are lesser human beings.

1) A low (like 1% or something) tax on unhealthy foods. This would of course have to be looked at closely and decided by a committee of professionals what foods would get the tax. This money would go into some sort of government program to help people get healthy (think like Weight Watchers only free) and/or to fund better health education in public schools.

2) The government needs universal healthcare which covers preventative practices and health education.

3) The government needs a complete overhaul on what's required of public schools as far as teaching health. I remember health class when I was a kid. It was a joke. When I was in high school, I only had to take 6 weeks of health class for 2 years. That's 12 weeks out of 4 years that I was in a health class. That's pretty pathetic. Its also very important that health and nutrition be taught at a very young age. It should start in preschool.

So, there's my spiel. If you couldn't tell, I got pretty worked up after hearing about that Bill.
