::Can't obesity and hunger both be problems?  I've never heard of a liberal saying that the existence of hunger means that obesity isn't a problem.  Do you have any quotations or evidence on this?  (Editing further) Referencing an unreferenced claim elsewhere on this webpage doesn't make for a good citation.  [[User:Corry|Corry]] 12:50, 29 October 2008 (EDT)

:::That's my problem.  as worded, the negation is that "liberals do not believe obesity is a problem because there is hunger in the world".  this conflates two different issues.  1) There is a huge obesity problem in the world, and in the US.  2) Many people are hungry and starving, even in the US.  To say on the page of obesity that "liberals deny this", is saying liberals deny that obesity exists.  they don't, as they are one of the drum bangers over governments stepping in to regulate foods.--[[User:JeanJacques|JeanJacques]] 13:14, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
