Food Network is a Health Hazard: Where are the Bored Moms on Prozac?

Just where are the 'bored moms on prozac' when you really need them?  They have already blasted Sponge Bob and accused the cartoon of brain death of 12 year olds.  They have organized a total political movement against video games suggesting they cause violence.  They are also scruitinizing every bit of educational curriculum for fear they may learn that homosexuality and biracial relationships exist despite their own fear (or fantasy) of them.  They also make time to protest against kids learning proper handling of guns.

Truth is, none of the above will effect their dear little Lily or Chase like diabetes, obesity, and other nutrition related health problems that the Food Network glorifies.  Where is the outrage against THAT?  Just because some food has a fancy European ingredient and is doused in an oil we can't pronounce by no means makes it any healthier for us.   

The other thing that the Food Network gets away with is hair in food preparation areas.  It's gross to see food being prepared by people with their hair dangling everywhere.  I suppose their "sexy" food stars just would not look the same sporting a hair net and an apron. 

If ever there was room for real criticism, this is it.  Let's see if the Food Network gets away with it because it's all dressed up.  Hey, I see through all the bullshit..... does anybody else?
