As stated in the New York Times<\/a> and The Huffington Post<\/a>, President Bush turned to Slim Fast and Jenny Craig to rationalize the use of dietary manipulation on detainees.
\nFrom The Huffington Post:
\nIn a footnote to a May 10, 2005, memorandum from the Office of Legal Council, the Bush attorney general’s office argued that restricting the caloric intake of terrorist suspects to 1000 calories a day was medically safe because people in the United States were dieting along those lines voluntarily.
\n“While detainees subject to dietary manipulation are obviously situated differently from individuals who voluntarily engage in commercial weight-loss programs, we note that widely available commercial weight-loss programs in the United States employ diets of 1000 kcal\/day for sustain periods of weeks or longer without requiring medical supervision,” read the footnote. “While we do not equate commercial weight loss programs and this interrogation technique, the fact that these calorie levels are used in the weight-loss programs, in our view, is instructive in evaluating the medical safety of the interrogation technique.”<\/em>
\nWhat, my friends, does that say about America’s obsession with diets, and about those who choose to ‘torture’ themselves by striving to follow a 1,000 calorie per day plan? Is your diet plan torture?
\nFood for thought.
