I'm surprised he can take the time off from his lawn mowing and hedge trimming to post here. Maybe he has a crew of illegals working for him.....
Maybe he has a federally-subsidized SBA loan?
More like a federally-subsidized BS loan.
You do understand that your body doesn't know the difference between table sugar or any other carbohydrate. They all end up as glucose and can make you fat if you consume too much and don't exercise.
Are you saying we should tax all carbohydrates like bread, pasta, potatoes, cereal, rice, honey, etc. so people don't eat too much of them and become fat?
Nuts are loaded with both fat and starch. I'll bet you really want a big tax on peanuts so we stop all the deleterious effects consuming them can cause. Milk is also high in sugar. Should we tax it more to reduce consumption?
Just where does your "do gooding" end?
More proof that a small amount of knowledge in a particular area is very dangerous.
More government intervention being advocated by protectionists masquerading as conservatives.
Resulting in the notion that Google is a substitute for critical or serious thought. Is Karl Rove gay? Type in rove+gay. Voila! Proof!
Still didn't read the articles I see. I suppose it really doesn't matter though. As long as they disagree with you they'll just be labeled as liars.
May I remind you that American children got hepatitis from Mexican strawberries and that American citizens died from ingesting Mexican green onions?
Yeah, no American ever died from food borne illness before Mexican produce was imported.
I suppose the ground beef that killed those kids at Jack in the Box years ago was also imported from Mexico? No, wait. It was domestic beef that was responsible for that. Imagine that.
You have made it abundantly clear that you will only believe what you want to believe, facts notwithstanding. Now I know why we get so precious few of them from you.
The source was Mexico. The cause was use of sewage to irrigate row crops which is legal in Mexico.
If you read the NAFTA you will see that food safety standards are considered a "barrier to trade".
Oh, quit the BS.
Source? I am curious, really.
Absolutely correct. Bottom line is, even with the dramatic increase in imported food, our food supply has never been safer.
I'm just waiting for someone to claim that it's the illegals in the restaurants who are responsible for such contaminations. It's got to be them, free trade, WalMart or Bush.
Standards providing more protection to consumers or public health can be challenged as unfair barriers to trade before dispute resolution panels established by both NAFTA and the WTO.
Care to name one?
THANKS.
Prayer and walking as closely with God as we can manage are increasingly crucial, essential and life or death habits, issues in our era . . . imho.
Raw sewage in Mexico was the cause. You are throwing out red herrings to protect the globalists.
Again, I'm simply interested if you are speculating, because my understanding is that the PA Dept. of Health and the FDA were unable to determine to source of the contamination. If you have the info., please provide it.
Oh, no.
We're not seeing a lowered standard of living. We're just seeing record bankruptcies, a nonexistent savings rate, record time between jobs, and if the unemployment rate were really 5%, Bush would have been reelected in a landslide.
Don't forget record household net worth.
