I refer to the Right Wing, to which you adhere, despite your protestations. As for the "democratic party" supporting Stalin's social and labor policies, are you really that daft? Really?!
I drank so much soda as a kid it came out of my f'n ears and I was fit as a fiddle. Get these kids off their ass and back on the playground, and the obesity epidemic will be gone in a blink. Of course, little Johhny may get a cut or a bruise along the way and we can't have that, now can we?
True. It is a multi-pronged problem. One that requires addressing and a bit more cooperation from flag-waving chest-thumpers.
you cant overcome a bad diet with exersize. the amount of exersize needed to absorbe the excess calories from most diets in america is not doable for most people.
you can't single out a single 'bad' product like that. You can literally make up 1000's of rules in the name of good health. Supermarkets can only have 1 aisle dedicated to 'junk' food. Hot dog vendors can only sell 1 hot dog per person at a time No toys in happy meals 1 fast food chain per 3 city blocks 2 doughnuts max per customer. LOL, this is so stupid.
Not as readily as the "food" items that are the topic of this discussion. What, exactly, are you defending anyway, with your outrage? The right to lack common sense? Who would be hurt by the common sense initiative?
I'm afraid I still hold my American point of view on this. The difference in attitude was really brought home to me when I moved to Canada, which I soon began calling a nation of "safety sissies" (don't get me wrong, Canada is awesome). Recently I've eased up a bit and begun to think Canada's position probably has something to do with national healthcare. That is, if society is going to pay for your head injuries, society can make a helmet law, etc.
I'm defending my right, our right, to tell this bullshit government we have some real problems need solving. This is non-sense.
