I know many a PCP that rage at the fact that Phentermine is schedule IV, which adds extra complexity to prescribing it.

"Why don't we stop subsidizing corn so much?" Lobbyists. "Why don't we teach effective nutrition and cooking in school?" We do. It's called home economics.

Money. Long term care is more profitable than prevention.

Because corn has at least some value, and letting the land lay fallow would cost the tax payer even more (though that is sometimes subsidized too) in order to maintain the stabilization?
Or are you suggesting that farms don't need the stabilization program at all? As a farmer who farms in a country without subsidies, I would agree with that, but I understand the reasons why Americans value the program when you look at it from a threat of war point of view.

Their goal is to reduce the cost of treatment by encouraging prevention. I'm not sure how many people make use of it.
Doctors are protected from the consequences of prescribing statins and SSRIs because everybody else does it too. If you could get a critical mass of them to start prescribing diet pills by directly generating consumer demand, the floodgates would open. We're one good advertising campaign from everybody 5% overweight having a bottle in the bathroom - of a 'new' formulation of course, because I'm sure a lot of these are going out of patent.
Then we'll find out that they really don't work any better than placebo and cause nerve damage, but the lawsuits will drag until all patents expire.

I've been looking for a way to make vegetables like brocoli or green beans palatable. What's your secret?

As far as nutrition goes what the government thinks is a nutritious lunch is far from it. It's way to pro carb/starch/sugar and anti fat. A typical lunch when I was in High School would be a decent sized slice of pizza, piece of bread, a scoop of corn, a sugary milk. All of those are carb sources.

Obviously preventative measures should be our first resort. Obviously all farm subsidize (or at least those that are not in alignment with a healthy population) should be ended. But I take issue with banning sugary, hydrogenated things. The problem with the modern diet isn't that a kid drinks a Coca Cola with his McDonald's fries once a month when he goes out for a treat with his mom after swim practice. The problem…
I hear this kind of argument all the time and I don't buy it at all. How do poor people have less time to cook than well off people? We all work the same hours. Pasta costs next to nothing, as does rice, as do beans. Veg and dairy are a bit more but still cheap by any standards. Cigarettes and alcohol, on the other hand, are expensive. As is running a car, or going to McDonalds. So maybe try subsidising your meals by…
Eating well is relatively Expensive. Sure you can cut out the car and carbs and obviously all poor people have their liquor and smoke money set aside... Or maybe poverty is a bit more complex than your overly simplistic and a bit dickish analysis... Just let them eat cake (Preferably gluten free)...
