Cash for clunkers was a good program for its time and place (economically speaking); I just thought it was sold dishonestly. I understand they were towing a political line and trying to please multiple interested parties, but that doesn't mean we don't get to call bullshit when they spout things that are verifiably false (e.g. this program is good for the environment).

And the junk food thing I was kind of wrapping into agribusiness. Junk food is obviously only one component of a much larger problem.
