Here is the conundrum that exists in todays World - the media does not report the truth but twists and edits until they make their own world view/political point; in the same vein - junk science is proclaiming embryonic stem cell reseach to be the panacea of the future (maybe, all fingers crossed) and also proclaim this and that causes/relates to this and that. The conundrum - if the original premise/belief is a lie, isn’t any statement or ‘fact’ claimed also a lie (or I’ll give this much - more likely to be a lie)?!?
And as such, should we even for a nanosecond consider laws, rules, taxation, government health rules based on such?
Here is the way to make Americans healthier - cut out (straight out, instantly) 50% of the additives, preservatives, flavorings and colors added to the fake food that is passing for food out there. Then make the other 50% prove that they are not dangerous to health and well being immediately - real scientific proof. Not bought and paid for sham reports, verified by doctors sitting on the pharma bod/payroll.
And then work that same magic with the medications being politically approved while by-passing real scientific scrutiny.
Since Hill’s universal healthcare didn’t get through - they’ve been trying to sneak it in piece by piece through the back door. Time for some well funded lawsuits.
I may not like what you say, but I’ll die to protect your right to say it. Same goes for personal behaviors - they let drunks (ahem, Sen. T. Kennedy) run amoke actually (and provably) killing right left and daily - yet go after smokers and trans fat with a vengence. What crappola.
Here lies the difference:
“To those I would ask, ‘Do you oppose the regulations requiring employees to wash their hands? Do you oppose regulations limiting pesticide residue in food?’” Stampfer adds that consumers probably will not even notice the absence of trans fats.
When I eat out or buy food in a store, I am assuming that the food was safely handled. I must trust in the restaurant or store to maintain standards of cleanliness and such. I really have no say in the matter. When I chose to eat a food with transfats, that is my decision, just as much as drinking, cigarettes, coffee or red meat. Such is the arrogance of those we currently call “liberals”. They are going to take away our choices for our own good, just as if we were small children. It really irks me that these people are in any way associated with liberalism, we should really call them by their function - Neo Fascist.
These are my fries.
There are others like them but this batch is mine.
My fries are my dinner’s best part. They are my side dish.
I must master my fries like I must master my waistline.
My fries without trans-fats are tasteless. Without trans-fats, my dinner is tasteless.
I must eat my fries true. I will ...
Ok, apologies to every Marine everywhere, but I couldn’t resist. Government should stay the hell out of my sex life, my arms locker, my political donations, and my dietary choices. Pass a law if you must so that the restaurants tell me what I’m eating, then leave the choice to me.
