WHAT? You mean all the smokers have been sent to the reducation camps already??
No. SAYYYYyyyyy, yer not gay, are you?
My concern is fake sugar, especially aspartame. May help with weight control (though some say not), but could lead to disease down the line. Cancer comes to mind. Just relating some of the “facts” I’ve read about over the years. The endgame: to each his/her own.
Ain't that the truth. I've been astounded at what some thinnies can eat.
I used to be able to do that; anything I wanted, as much as I wanted. Now I eat less than I did then and better to boot, and fight to keep from gaining weight.
The left DOES want to regulate everything about your life (with one exception). And they WILL use the universal healthcare system as the hammer to do so, just like they are using the environment as the hammer to control people’s energy usage.
My Second Undeniable Truth about “Liberalism” is that
despite the misnomer of “liberal”, the left seeks to control every aspect of people’s lives, except for those that involve uninhibited consequence-free sexual behavior choices. For those aspects, the First Undeniable Truth applies.
My First Undeniable Truth about “Liberalism” is that
“liberalism” in a nutshell is using force to make the innocent and those that make good decisions pay for the consequences of those that make bad decisions.
Well first off, smug, self righteous, ass*oles like the author would have to find something else to harp on to give him a feeling of superiority.
Second, well, hmmm... Nope, I guess that's the only thing.
In protest, I’m gonna go from 60 pounds overweight to 80 pounds.
Add to that the increase in girth in Europe since the fast food invasion.
Let’s see, anorexia and bulimia would go up as the elites have to work harder to distinguish themselves from the rest. Those who “self-medicate” with a comfort food or a couple of calorie laden beers may turn to narcotics. Others would rack up big bills at the head shrinkers. NFL linemen would have to retire ealier. Eskimos would freeze to death.
Mine is high fructose corn syrup—it’s highly addictive and added to just about EVERYTHING in the grocery store—when I stopped eating foods with it, the migraines I’d had for years stopped, and I was finally able to lose some of the weight I’d gained over time! Scary stuff. I try to avoid the aspartame, splenda, etc. as well—just seem to do better physically without all that added stuff.
See Post 33 about what will be regulated and what won’t.
Excellent observation/fact. And very little known/respected.
I think you answered your own question: “it messes with my blood sugar”.
Personal anecdotes only—I experimented with various foods for awhile, not eating them, then trying small portions...when I didn’t eat the HFCS products (I’m deadly serious, next time you go grocery shopping, check the ingredients—even the so-called ‘healthy, organic’ items are full of it!!) no headaches or gastro problems. Whenever I’d eat even a small portion, whammo, a short time late, MIGRAINE. The kind that knock you out of commission. :-(
I’ve learned to read the ingredients on EVERYTHING very carefully since then. We have very few items in the house that contain HFCS or aspartame. Even my husband and daughter have noticed the difference and have lost some weight they needed to lose.
