 sparlingphoto says: There's a Washington, D.C., organization, Center for Science in the Public Interest, that some call busybodies, but they are more accurately described as petty tyrants. They've made a list of foods you shouldn't eat. Among them are: Dove and Haagen-Dazs ice cream, Mrs. Field's cookies and McDonald's Chicken McNuggets. If they are successful, you shouldn't be surprised to see a ban on these and similar foods. My comments are actually the rest of the text of Mr. Williams' article: Food zealots, who share the mindset of Mayor Bloomberg and are ". . . just trying to make food safer," will not be satisfied controlling restaurant menus. After all, most eating is done at home. So why wouldn't the food zealots enact bans on what can and cannot be sold in supermarkets? Nine chances out of ten, most of a person's saturated fat intake occurs during the family dinner. You say, "Williams, that's ridiculous! They would never tell us what we can eat at home." That's precisely what you might have said when the anti-smoking zealots started out. Belmont, Calif., has recently enacted a law not only bann... When you eat trans-fats, it doesn't directly hurt anyone else. When you smoke, you put everyone around you at risk. I'm far more in favor of smoking bans than I am of the trans-fat ban. It's tyranny and zealotry when health is being taken into consideration. It's peace and freedom when war is declared and hundreds of thousands are killed. Orwell would have a field day with you neo-cons. Your last name is French, correct? Remember there's no hiding behind th Maginot Line on this one... And there's no getting us to save your sorry butt like in the War of 1812. Ethnocentrism doesn't make you look smart, by the way. Bigotry has a tendency to make you look like an imbecile. Gagnon, unlike you, many on the left, and most of the French, I am not so insecure that I need to "appear" smart. I've learned far more from accomplished people, with average intelligence, than from "educated idiots" (most academes)! Also, excuse my ignorance, but how did the French "save our butts" in The War of 1812? |
