Next they'll be telling pre-teens not to shrivel up their sex-parts drinking RockStar and Bawls!

Fucking Commies are going to have to pry this QT 55oz. two-handled insulated mug from my dead hands. I KNOW FREEDOM WHEN I TASTE IT!!

Hey Fairweather, how's it going down in the trenches of the Soda Wars?

Smells like Freedom to me too, broseph. I do not want any Marxists getting their grubby hands on those beacons of American liberty. Today, the sodium content in Blooming Onions, tomorrow the gas chambers...

Do not drag the OCB into this, bro.

Frak that ass!

Yes and because eating is a fundamental biological drive, it follows that without a centrally planned draconian nightmare gulag state, we're consuming like ticks. Whatever.

Never, and I mean never, mix jungle shit thingy and pussy juice...

A society in which people can't govern their own appetites can't be governed. Repeating all of this retarded nonsense about obesity being anything other than a consequence of choosing to consume more calories than you expend will result in a massive and costly raft of regulations that have absolutely zero effect on obesity - because it will do absolutely nothing to alter the fundamental problem, which is people choosing to consume more calories than they expend. Which they will continue to do - irrespective of any idiotic labeling campaigns or bureaucratic programs to try to make them stop. It will cost a ton of money and provide a jobs program for people with useless degrees to sit around and run statistical regressions, etc - which may be the point. Ditto for any other centrally planned experiment against reality. Start with a national chastity campaign, see how that works, then move on to efforts to circumvent other fundamental drives that are hard wired into every mammal. Way over your head. Sorry about that. "IT'S THE CALORIES! DO THE MATH!!" LOL

Trying desperately to find "big brother" in the work of groups actually working towards greater food security, health and nutrition such as this one, but I'm having trouble. Maybe endlessly invoking big, bad government helps you "win" in the Friedmanite mobius strip you live in (and bore us with), but it's pretty irrelevant to anybody with boots on the ground.

Corporate marketing is about creating new wants and needs where none existed before. For someone who fancies history, the advent of consumer capitalism in the 20th century makes for some interesting reading...

If obesity is largely (ha!) an education, health-care, and nutritional access issue, as experts on the issue recognize, then the focus should be on addressing those inequalities. Meeting the challenge would actually be an expansion of freedom. The spectre of "Big Brother" deciding what we eat is, as usual, a red herring.

Mmmmm...bipartisan class warfare.

Yes, almost as good as Fukushima was nothing to worry about and the Obamas were "surprised" by the Saudi invasion of Bahrain...

Another fact(free)toid easily dismissed by a trip to Ye Olde Google.

Guess we know who Jay_B will be voting for...

Yeah, everything we know and do here in 'Merica is just a natural outcome of the free expression of our deepest human natures. No explanation necessary, nothing has ever changed or will change. No history, no future, no politics, no power. Just consumer choice, ad infinitum...

Recent research has also shown that food insecurity is related to obesity.8,9 This association is not intuitive as overweight is often attributed to overeating, and not to hunger and not eating enough (See Sidebar: Food Insecurity and Weight Gain, p.4). LACHS results indicate that a higher percentage of respondents living in lower income, food insecure households were obese (27%) as compared to those living in lower income, food secure households (20%) (Table 3). Additionally, a higher percentage of respondents living in lower income, food insecure households reported physical inactivity (49%), being disabled (30%), and living in a perceived unsafe neighborhood (40%) as compared to respondents living in lower income, food secure neighborhoods (Table 3). Thus, factors such as physical inactivity and living in neighborhoods perceived to be unsafe might put those living in food insecure households at further risk for obesity. --from here.

That's been apparent for quite some time. Hasn't prevented you from playing the comic book store clerk from the Simpson's on any of the issues though, has it?

I'm sure this moronic generalization could be quantified... Hmmm. Hmmm. Hmmm.

Efforts to promote public health and nutrition should be oriented towards access to quality nutrition, education, and health care. Disclosure and regulation are important, but aren't really meaningful in urban landscapes devoid of real alternatives among groups lacking purchasing power to make good choices even when they want to. Duh.

Why are M&M's full of chocolate? Because it would be illegal to fill them full of shit. Why did ET the Extra Terrestrial love Reese's Pieces so much? Well because they have the same flavour that cum does on his own planet. How do you keep your pet dog from licking his balls? Coat them in Domino's pizza sauce. Why did God create Domino's Pizza? To punish humanity for their complacency at letting the Holocaust happen. Why do Pringles employees get laid so often? Because they can. Why does Arby's put so much mayonnaise on their sandwiches? It makes it easier to flush them down the toilet. How do you keep flies from landing on your Big Mac? Unwrap it. Why did Ronald McDonald have sex with his sister? His judgment was impaired from all those years of eating junk food. Why does KFC come in a bucket? So you have something to throw up into afterwards. Why did the Sanders girls, Colonel Sanders' daughters, absolutely refuse to eat KFC's extra crispy fried chicken? Well because it brought back too many bad memories of their late father's foreskin. Why did Colonel Sanders keep his eleven herbs and spices a secret? Because he was ashamed of them. And why, why did, on his deathbed, why did Colonel Sanders on his deathbed reveal the secret of his eleven herbs and spices to Academy Award-nominated actress Sally Fields? Well, because he was desperate for a handjob... Would that have been funnier if we had a black gospel choir behind me? --more Neil Hamburger

Yeah, especially if they're poor.

Here you go, stupid white man. Do you ever tire of making an ass of yourself?
