"..., but maybe when you hit the majority of average PEOPLE, these average people will wake up, and start fighting the life style police."

Don't bet on it. As far as I can tell, the 'average Joe' has been getting it stuck in him sideways for 30 years and he continues to smile and carry on in life. I can't figure it out - I guess after a while you get to enjoy grabbing your ankles...

Ugh please don't make me eat a tofu burger. I prefer mine semi-bloody, with cheese, lots of salt and very greasy, thank you very much.

More tyranny of the minority. I'm sick of such a**holes. Somebody needs to duct tape this drooling Socialist to his chair and feed him intraveneously..............bu t only feed him for a short while.

Are we the only country this screwed up?

We're slowing suing ourselves into socialism.

What happened to "lifestyle choice?"
"Individual rights?"

They became a burden on taxpayers. If you choose then you should be prepared to pay the consequences. If 'lifestyle choices' are to be respected on the grounds of individual rights then homosexuals should not be criticized.

It's not animal fat so much that's doing the nation damage. It's processed fats.

TADA!, another winner. Therefore I'll take the Rib-eye, medium rare, onion and mushrooms on the side, a baked potatoe with sour cream and real butter. And a diet Coke.

Tyranny of the minoroty, yes, but aided by the useful idiots of the majority. Remember the breakdown of the 2000 elections...half of the eligible voters actually did, and of them, the split was 50-50. So, 25% of the nation is pushing their Commie-pinko-Rat agenda off on the other 25% of us who voted, while the WWF/Ally McBeal 50% just goes with the flow. Meanwhile, those elected by "our side" have proven to be totally devoid of testosterone, scared of the press, or just flat-out lied to us about their "conservative" values, but are assuming we'll vote for them again this year and in 2004.

To make matters worse, "our side" is now split between those of us who are tired of candidates who wizz on our legs and tell us it's raining, and those who see no wrong with anyone as long as there's an (R) after their name. So...that'll be $10 for your Super Size Big Mac value meal. Thank you, come again...

Milk commercials "tell you, 'Drink this milk for health reasons,' but then they fail to tell you that milk has a lot of saturated fat and cholesterol, and that you can get all of whatever these health benefits are without these risks by drinking skim milk," Banzhaf says. "That, to me, is very close to McDonald's."

Milk is also loaded with Antibiotics,Growth hormones and preservatives.

I think you should have said milk may include antibiotics, growth hormones and preservatives. It depends on where you get your milk. In Canada where you are from you should not worry about antibiotics or growth hormones in your milk supply for they are both illegal there. As for preservatives, well they are just about everywhere and in everything.

I think you are wrong, our farmers are apologizing for using antibiotics, but says "it's necessary," the only thing I know to be illegal here, is the hormone used to produce 50% more milk, and only because the scientist studying it went public with their findings, much to the chargrin of the government.
