"We should ban chocolate. It is a drug after all..."
Things at my house would definitely get ugly! (See tagline.)
You forgot SALT. In the book, "The Death of Common Sense," OSHA actually fined a company for have a salt shaker in the employee lunch room that was NOT LABELED!!!
The food industry has turned us into a bunch of fat asses. Ooorah to NYC.
This article has it all. A common sense argument, railing against the fascists at CSPI and a quote from Milton Friedman! Heaven! :)
Thats a real conservative view-"Government please save me from that mean old food industry and myself."
The banned propellant was none other than the preeminent ozone depleter, R-12; it is non poisonous after all and we surely can't have that.
all of the smoking nazis that are so delighted to brand smokers as pariahs will be whistling a different tune when its their turn in the barrel.
Be well, John Spartan.
Edgar Friendly: You see, according to Cocteau's plan I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green jello all over my body reading playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiener".
Alas, many of them are the same people.
Foldin' money?........First, the coins, then the paper..........
Try the Vice Fund. Good returns. No joke. The last things people will give up are cigs, alcohol and lottery tickets. As an added bonus, it invests in Military Defense, too. A little something for everyone, LOL!

pssst!......Hey, buddy!.........Wanna buy some Hot Trans-Fats?....I can give you a good price!.............shhhh! Not so loud!..........
trans fats, are a dangerous type of food put in our diets today not by choice. It is a manufactured fat, that is cheaper than butter, and other natural oils, that holds a certain consistency at room temperature.
When it gets into the body, the body does not know what to do with it. So it floats around in the blood stream until it ends up adhering to bloodstream walls, i.e. partially being responsible for arterosclerosis.
However in a free society, we should choose if we want those tasty snacks, other food items or not.
Have a nice day.
When Crisco is outlawed, only outlaws (like us) will have Crisco, LOL!
Tell me about it!!!!
I still have more baking to do..........
I like Stossel, but he is dead wrong. Transfats are poison. The health benefits from their elimination will be looked upon 20 years from now as a great step forward for the well-being of Americans.
Maybe so. But, is this what the government of the City of New York should be working on?
Do what our forefathers did 399 years ago. Move
