so the smart money is in tampax
Not one Republican will make even an empty gesture in response.
We’re 20 trillion dollars overdrawn and not a single agency is on the chopping block. They all just keep jostling and jockeying for ever more power, ever more control, and ever larger budgets to do things we never wanted them to do in the first place.
We have crossed a line from educating people about things, to now having liberals want to control all aspects of their lives.
It’s one thing to talk about the problems of too much fat in the diet, too much salt, not enough exercise, whatever it is. But it’s yet another to go on a crusade to control people’s lives.
Bloomberg’s big gulp ban in New York is a prime example. Thank God a court in the liberal state of New York struck down that law as unconstitutional. But I predict they will try again and again to do more of that, till we are regulated to death.
well with the advent of obamacare and the end of the GP family doctor i guess someone needs to fill in (the graves)
Liberals say certain foods are bad for us and therefore must be banned yet rabidly defend abortion which is much more insidious and harmful.
I want the government out of my life.
Now they want to tell me what to eat. Soon we will need a prescription to get salt.

Hey its all part of the “Collective” as Melissa Harris Perry would say..its all for the “Greater good” just like in all Communist countries
Noting that the Founding States had made the Constitution’s Sections 1-3 of Article I to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not nonelected bureaucrats such as those running the FDA, EPA, etc., please consider the following. I sometimes think that citizens and business who evidently haven’t read the Constitution, and are consequently unaware of the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, deserve to tremble in their boots when constitutionally toothless “independent federal regulatory agencies” like the FDA make constitutionally indefensible edicts, such as with this trans fat issue.
On the other hand, the states have clearly delegated to Congress, via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate interstate commerce. This is evidenced by the Constitution’s Clause 3 of Section 8 of Article I. And if the constitutonal republic were actually working the way that the Founding States had intended for it to work, then federal lawmakers would think twice about regulating trans fat since they could get booted in the next election if such a law proved unpopular.
In “Sleeper” Woody Allan ends up hundreds of years on the future. He says, “I ran a health food store; tofu, organic carrots, that sort of thing.” The other character says, “Didn’t they know how dangerous that stuff is? Didn’t they have tobacco or chocolate?”
These people just keep pushing us, don’t they?
I swear they are just BEGGING for blood in the streets. And you know, they might well get it.
Just keep pushing assholes. Keep pushing.
LMAO The Deer love those blocks.
I did rinse it off, so I missed out on the cow slobber.

followed by milk, meat, poultry, grains, beans, water and, oh, you get the drift.
Because totalitarian government can never have too much power.
Based on the way food tastes to me lately, food producers are already starting to reduce the sodium content of their products. I have no formal evidence - it just seems that everything needs salt now, and didn’t before.
