If no one was ever born, no one would ever die.

I guess that’s where we’re headed - dontcha know? People are bad for the environment.

I consider body fat my own little carbon sink, and my own little contribution to the war on global warming. If all that fat currently hanging on people’s bodies were released into the atmosphere, just think how much more carbon would be floating about!!

Imagine no more fatties

It's easy if you try

No more french fries or burgers

No more thunder thighs

Imagine all the people

Living on chick peas

Ooooh oooh oooh

You may say I'm a liberal

but I'm not the only one

There's not a single thing in your life

that the nanny state won't run

I've lost 61 lbs since mid-November by strictly following this diet plan:

The most important point is to not make any exceptions. That's the only "magic." There's no magic in the diet plan (although it's a good one, proven to work.) You can get many good diet plans, each different, that will all "work" (although not all will be healthy.) The diet plan is not the problem—following it is the problem. And making exceptions is the primary reason that most people can't follow a plan, either at all, or indefinitely over time.

Why are exceptions such a big deal? Think of the classic Lay's potato chip commercial: "Bet you can't eat one." You can't: "Eating one" will inexorably lead to eating another, and then another. Once you make an exception, you'll use that as a precedent to justify making yet another one. And then another. And so on, until you're mot really following any plan at all. Works like that every time.

You have to accept that being overweight is not something your body is doing to you, it's something you are doing to your body. The problem is in your head, not in your metabolism, and not because you haven't found the "magic" diet. You're just addicted to overeating. It's that simple.

And you'll probably need help overcoming your addiction. You can get that help from Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous.

“A dearth of diabetes and other diseases would save billions of dollars more”

Yep. And a decade later our health costs would rise by multi-billions because those who didn’t die quick deaths from the relative cheap diseases would be around long enough to contract the really expensive wasting conditions.

What if no one were a sanctimonious, self-righteous nanny-state pinhead? Think of all the money we’d save if no one spent public funding on sticking their noses into other people’s lives for the “common good”! Why, we’d have enough to purchase every man, woman, and child in America a new revolver and enough ammo to clear out the local Temperance Society, with enough left over for a big, juicy, charcoal-broiled burger and a beer.

What if no one was an A—hole? If I ruled the world, I would fulfill that dream first.

Just remember, to the left, the ends justify the means, meaning that anything and everything they say is right, according to them.
