Topic: First Cigarettes, Now Bacon and Eggs | |

Doesnt sound too terrible. Its not a tax on anything that is a necessity,,its a deterrent for 'over' doing it,,,,,seems a win , win it doesnt stop people from doing it, it just increases the price, Wait till they tax something YOU like. See how you like it then. As long as we keep allowing ******** like this to go on, they will continue to do it. It really saddens me how little of a backbone people have anymore, particularly in this country. If the government says jump, we say "how high" instead of saying "screw you". We are the ones giving them their power by giving our consent to their deeds. Until that stops not much is gonna change for the better. Its not about backbone, at least not for me, its just not something that is a priority (Bacon and eggs, that is) |

I hope some future historians find this thread in their quest to discover what destroyed the american dream.
They will find it died from internal rot. Here we have good folks lamenting about Denmark, a country that enjoys a far better standerd of liveing than Uber umerika. Tut tut they pay for their health care with taxes. We pay our taxes to fund imoral wars and to bail out the bankers. In Denmark society cares about what you put into your body that will make you unhealthy. We feed our kids high fructose corn syrup. Me thinks this country is rolling so fast downhill it cannot be saved. Get out while you can. |

What I find so moronic is people collecting social security and medicare boo hooing about another country's form of social justice.
Take Mcdonalds Mcrib sandwich as an example. From Yahoo news..... How many ingredients are there? At face value, the sandwich contains just pork, onions, and pickle slices slathered in barbecue sauce and laid out on a bun. But the truth is, there are roughly 70 ingredients. The bun alone contains 34, says TIME's Melnick. In addition to chemicals like ammonium sulfate and polysorbate 80, the most egregious may be azodicarbonamide — "a flour-bleaching agent most commonly used in the manufactur[ing] of foamed plastics like gym mats the and soles of shoes." According to McDonald's own ingredient list, the bun also includes calcium sulfate and ethoxylated mono- and diglycerides, among other chemicals. Ooof. What's the meat made of? Pig innards and plenty of salt. Typically, "restructured meat product" includes pig bits like tripe, heart, and scalded stomach, says Whet Moser at Chicago Magazine, citing a 1995 article by Robert Mandigo, a professor at the University of Nebraska. These parts are cooked and blended with salt and water to extract salt-soluble proteins, which act as a "glue" that helps bind the reshaped meat together. http://news.yahoo.com/whats-mcrib-made-anyway-125300382.html I am suspecting some of these ingrediants are verry harmfull. I am wondering were our real patriots are? Why do we let these people market these poisions for other people to consume? This stuff is simply the waste they normaly would have to charge someone to dispose of yet somehow through the genious of marketing they have convinced the rubes among us to eat and pay for the priviladge. We americans are such rubes I am thinking we are getting pretty much what we deserve. Oh god help the "liberal" who says hey you cant sell that to people as food. He will be run out of town by an angry bunch of right wingers shouting "dont tell us what we can eat you left wing commie" |
