And once they criminalize pencils only criminals will have pencils.

Filtered, and sometimes even carbonated!

Isn't that the essence and definition of liberalism?

Dear God, you're right. Rest assured that if I ever suspect that my mind has slipped that far I'll fall on my own sword. But liberals think they're intelligent. They don't know they're sick. I know! I'll get my wife to do me if I go liberal. I can trust her.

I’m going green by subsisting on coffee enemas only.

It does read like TheOnion or ScrappleFace, doesn’t it? How would anyone know the difference? Those are just funny, but these people scare me to death because they are intent on seeing their “ideas” to be made into laws and actually administer them - that’s how they get the power... and the money.

During my second year of college, the food service was switched from Woods (number one choice of prisons) to Bon Appetit (which was promptly nicknamed “Boner’s”). Their meals were absolutely ridiculous - mysterious lumps in creamy sauce with fancy names. Plus they took away the sandwich bar, and only put out the dry cereal for breakfast (it used to be there for all meals). There was a huge (hugh) outcry, and they must have changed - the last time I ate at the dining hall, it was pretty good. At the time, though, it was a good reason to opt out of the meal plan for my last two years.

You’ve got a good point. My mother lives about 10 mins from me and she is surrounded by fields, hills, no sidewalks and just one road. When I visit, the temperature is about 10 degrees cooler from where I am at, in the city.

"Liberals should take the lead by foregoing eating entirely."

It is a fact that they can't with their heads up where the sun don't shine, they are continuously eating it.

Pretty soon, college students served by Bon Appetit will be 25% less likely to be able to eat hamburgers, steaks and other evil cow products. What ever happened to letting consumer tastes dictate what to sell and keeping customers happy?

The problem with my idea is that it doesn`t scare anybody.

John Berlau, policy director with the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute and author of the book "Eco-Freaks: Environmentalism Is Hazardous to Your Health," told Cybercast News Service on Tuesday that the ability to swiftly transport food across great distances has resulted in tremendous benefits around the world. "As recently as the 19th century, food crises in Western countries were all too common," Berlau said. "Things like the Irish potato famine occurred because food from other regions couldn't be transported fast enough."

This assertion is not only utterly false, it's completely opposite to the real events for most of the potato famine crisis.

And as a supporter of locally grown produce and the farmers who suffer through the fickle fads of current high end local produce buying consumers, I think this company is making a good market economy based business decision that will reap them financial rewards well above the industry sector average. Their suppliers will also find financially stability in their contracts, and hopefully can find firm ground to build their local produce businesses. Hopefully more companies will follow.

I’d have been in heaven if any University I’ve attended had a food service contract with any company approaching Bon Appetit’s level of food quality, and preparation quality.

Think of it this way, this is a list of FDA meat grades:

These are the official FDA meat quality grades:

* Prime — most tender and highest in fat
* Choice
* Select — the leanest grade commonly sold
* Standard
* Commercial
* Utility
* Cutter
* Canner

Right now most college campuses are using Standard grade. (FYI, Princeton uses Select, and I saw Choice there once.) If 25% of the meat is cut out from the menu, it decreases the diners’ chances of contracting mad cow disease.

Wait until these Einsteins find out that all life an earth is carbon-based. What will they do then?

Actually it isn't. Fiji Water is becoming one of the biggest con jobs in the country. The marketing is steeped in self loathing. It is untouched by man and therefore holy. It also has silica in it, vividly disremembering when silica leaked out of breast implants and caused cancer . . .

If you ask some of the dedicated greenies who drink this water, they will inform you that water has memory and it remembers what was in it, even if the stuff was filtered out. And it feels different in your mouth . . .

I wish I could figure out a way to market my cat's turds as some greenie miracle product. They are naturally processed and I could use some extra income.
