How Obamacare Will Try to Control What You Eat
Heritage expert Daren Bakst has explained that Obamacare’s menu labeling regulation will be costly and time-consuming for businesses and that the government has no evidence that it would have any benefits. On top of those negatives, why is Obamacare trying to regulate what people are eating? “The FDA tries to justify the rule by claiming that consumers make misinformed decisions at restaurants,” Bakst wrote. As usual, Obamacare assumes that big government knows best. In fact, Bakst says the FDA is using the rule as a power grab to regulate grocery stores, convenience stores, and other businesses that have little to do with restaurants.

China Arrests Pastor, Dozens of Church Workers
On Saturday, Chinese police in Henan Province seized the pastor of Nanle County Christian church, Zhang Xiaojie. When church members protested the pastors detention outside of a local police station, several were reportedly beaten. The stress of the incident also reportedly led to Pastor Zhang's parents, who also had two of their daughters arrested in addition to Pastor Zhang, hospitalized with high blood pressure. Authorities then called and harassed church members throughout the night and posted guards in front of the church on Sunday. Any members who arrived at the church were detained, and Pastor Zhang's daughter estimates that at least 20 Christians have been taken in by police. The church is an official government sponsored "Three-Self" church, making the arrests highly unusual. Locals believe the arrest are the results of the pastors popularity and activism in the community, while his arrest may also serve as an indication that complete religious freedom will not be allowed despite a recent announcement that the Communist Party would be closing re-education through labor camps. Many thousands of house church Christians are held in the camps every year.
