"I don't smoke, so I don't care"

- This is the statement I heard from hundreds of folks when they imposed hefty taxes on tobacco products. Well, guess what? They plan on applying hefty taxes on "unhealthy foods", which will no doubt include fast food. http://www.gulfnews.com/world/U.S.A/10263668.html
My hunch is they will march on unapposed. They only way to stop these people is to fight for freedom, together, whether the legislation affects you or not.

With the coming of socialised healthcare
With the coming of socialised healthcare, you will have to pay for your future medical bills some how. After tax, cigarettes in the UK cost around $10 for 20, which barely helps to prop up our national healthcare system. Remember, if you want 'free' stuff, you need to pay for it some how.

unConstitutional
It appears the proposals are all pretty much unConsitutional. But then what could we expect from a communist/Marxist?
Besides he ain't POTUS yet now is he?
Anyone read the article?
One of the proposals is:
"Provide funding through the 2009 reauthorisation of the federal Child Nutrition Bill to establish a garden at every school"
Teaching kids how to grow their own food and using fresh vegetables in the school cafeteria is actually a pretty good idea.
The rest of it, vice taxes on unhealthy food and general persecution of the obese, can go to hell, though.
I'm all in favor
of teaching kids how to grow food but, does anyone else see a trend yet?
Personal food production and permaculture, reducing transportation, community currencies, a new way of life unlike what we've been used to.
Are we being propagandized to accept a modern version of the dark ages? Or am I just being paranoid again? The Plumber

Inextricably Intertwined Matters of Integrity
by David Klein, Ph.D.
"If humanity does not opt for integrity, we are through completely. It is absolutely touch and go. Each one of us could make the difference."
-R. Buckminster Fuller
What is it to be a truly conscientious human being, a good citizen of the Earth? To act with integrity in all matters needing care. It is our life, our world—if we desire to live in Paradise, we each have to take full responsibility for making things better at every turn.
It is our choice whether we will diligently work toward optimizing our health, restoring the planet, caring for all that is vital to our existence and bringing light to darkness.
And never forget, “Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.”
So...is smoking tobacco
So...is smoking tobacco laced with chemical (nicotine is pretty close to mind control) and eating genetically altered and chemical-laced food good for you?

I've said it for years
Once they eliminate cash, so every transaction requires third party approval,they will combine all our health information with our financial information and credit rating on a single card. Perhaps your drivers license, now Real ID. Now, when you go to the liquor store, your card won't work because you already had your six-pack for this month. You can't eat at McD's because your insurance carrier thinks you're a little heavy. Your card won't work at all until you go to the gym for evaluation and receive your exercise credits. Oh, and don't forget the mandatory, voluntary community service credits.

I just found this online.
Was going to post it.
You beat me to it.
I was watching CNN.
They had a special on this subject yesterday with The Infamous Sanjia (Don't Know if I spelled his name correct, I don't really care) Gupta. I had a feeling while this was being broadcasted that this is what that was all about. This fricken government wants control of every thing that we do. The want to control every aspect of of our lives. This is socialism to the hilt. If I want a bag of freakin saturated fat potatoe chips. I don't give a s^#@ what the government says. F&$! them! And you are right in the comparison with the cigerrettes. They are going to use that as a model to go after food with. This is none of the governments concern, Wait until they pass the universal health plan. Then they will be able to tell you what you can and cannot do. Food will be rationed.................
Now is the time to JUMP-START the campaigns for 2010 and 2012.
We didn't lose. The ignorant lost. We know what has happened. Personally I think John McCain Has been used as a patsy. To bring about an Obama administration.

It is the so called "healthy" foods that make you fat..
All so called diet drinks and sugar substitutes cause an increase in weight and are not "diet" at all in that you are ALWAYS better off to drink a real soft drink vs a diet. Not only will you gain less weight but you'll avoid the tumors diet drinks cause as well.
When is someone going to sue these companies for putting the word diet on products that they know and the FDA studies show cause a increase in weight? (all sugar substitutes make you FAT)...Tell someone this who uses them and guess what, they will still use them. They are addicted or subcounscously they want to be fat is the only thing I can figure.
I showed many many people the proof and they continue to drink diet drinks.
Don't even get me started on Fake Butter and Partially hydrogenated oils..
Use REAL BUTTER for HEALTH.. Forget the fake use real butter and real lard. They have "fats" that you need for health not the "fats" that are bad for you. There are hundreds of kinds of "fats" some of them help you lose FAT.
This is just the tip of the iceburg.
Since, when has the government or any doctor ever been right about diet?
Let me see, eggs are bad for you... oops change mind... eggs are good for you... it goes on and on..
Let the govt decide what is healthy and you'll be eating melamine and nutrasweet gruel before it is over...
Just look at the crap the FDA approves to go in your food. Known carcinigans and things that cause obesity and then they tell you it makes you lose weight.

Practic what you preach
I eat a 12 egg scramble every morning and I feel great throughout the day. I fact better than on the days I happen to eat the corn meal sugar filled cereal made for KIDS. Jesus they make these horrible sugar corn things for little kids. I walked by a class on a field trip to our cities train museum and everyone of them save one was obese. Literally the majority was overweight. Now if your a skinny kid you're abnormal. Times have changed.
I always see the disclaimer on Slimming products.
"Can help slimming or weight loss ONLY AS PART OF A CALORIE CONTROLLED DIET."
Emphasis mine. Its true.
Unfortunately the food industry will NEVER say: "Eat Less Food."
That would affect the bottom line too much. So they tell you to eat "three squares" and a couple of snacks instead. Low fat or low carb of course! Its just a racket.

Exactly right
I have four simple rules that govern my life. 1) Look at what the herd is doing and do the opposite. 2) If the government approves of it, I overwhelmingly disapprove as the government is most always wrong on EVERYTHING. 3) Avoid doctors and hospitals like the plague as they have NEVER treated nor cured any illness throughout all of human history (they only treat symptoms). 4) Prevent illness and disease with a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise and alternative medicines.)

If
you could single out why Americans have suddenly developed an obesity problem, what would you say it is?
I'm old enough to remember when truly FAT people were scarce and now they are everywhere.

There are two key reasons, not one.
(1) Lack of exercise.
Remember when joggers and bicyclists used to clog the shoulder of the road in every town? When bodybuilding was fashionable? When women and senior citizens in sneakers and sweats were walking up and down the malls and the sidewalks? When people jogged on beaches?
People gradually stopped exercising during the past decade. It fell out of vogue. In the past, there was a lot more physical activity.
(2) Cessation of smoking. Although you will find fat smokers, generally speaking, cigarettes are an appetite supressant and a metabolic stimulant. Very few adults smoke nowadays.
Prior to the late Eighties, smoking was very common. In the anorexic 70s, people were human chimneys.

The obeseity problems are caused
by poor diet. The way it was simply explained to me is that the body is a complex machine. All machines need proper fuel and maintenance. It has nutritional requirements to keep it running (fuel). Give the body the proper fuel and it will function efficiently and take care of itself. In a nutshell, the human body KNOWS exactly what it needs to function correctly. If one does NOT give their body the proper fuel, it instinctively senses this and makes you believe that your are still hungry (it wants you to eat what it needs). People who eat poor diets loaded with sugars, synthetic fats, processed foods and foods devoid of any real nutrition are ordered by their body to constantly eat until it gets what it MUST have to survive and thrive. The body NEEDS "nutritionally dense" foods. Whole foods, meat, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, good fats, like animal fats, real butter, virgin coconut oil, olive oil, grape seed and sunflower oil, peanut oil, etc. (NOT canola, corn, cottonseed or soybean oils). When one eats nutritionally dense foods, the body stops giving you the signals to continue eating because it is getting the nutrition it needs. Bottom line… Stay FAR away from so-called diet foods and drinks. Shop the outside isles at the grocery store. Most importantly, exercise (walking at the minimum) get plenty of sunshine and drink plenty of fresh clean water (coffe and soft drinks do not count as water). Do this and you will never have a weight problem.
Next time you go to the grocery store, look into the shopping carts of every obese person you see. It will become obvious why they are so fat.

I'm right there with you! We
I'm right there with you! We eat healthy animal fats and virgin coconut oil. It's really tough with this issue to convince others since we have been so thoroughly brainwashed! Canola oil is in so many "healthy" foods and it's a huge scam.

First they came for the smokers and I did nothing
Then they came for the Fast Food eaters and I did nothing
