I had to laugh but not at your expense. "People who are thin and don't smoke" - except for the smoking - are French! And nobody likes them!
Bwahahaha...
You're right on the money. We are serfs these days, not really free self governing citizens.
Here's a thought; when we elect people to represent us in DC they often start out strong but after a term or two they change. Being in DC does something to reps and senators that causes them to become detached from thier consituents. They then use us to keep them in office.
How about we fix this by making them all set up offices in thier home states and they can meet and vote via video conference. This way they don't get corrupted in DC, lobbyists will have a harder time influencing them and they will always be right there to take the heat for poor votes and decisions. They won't be able to hide from us and ignore us.
I've always maintained that the anti-smoking jihad was just the beta version for these otherwise unemployable busybodies. I actually think they might be a separate species.
The group says that after years of lobbying the restaurants to offer the information voluntarily, it is resorting to government force.
Resorting? Please. Government force is their first choice, the "lobbying" is just Kabuki theater.
You're right on the money, Gabz.
RWJF's has many tentacles.
"the "lobbying" is just Kabuki theater."
~snorrfle!~ What gets me is, they get away with their crap because the rest of us have to make a living. Thank goodness for FR, since one cannot depend on hearing the truth through the media. Not even on Fox.
Good hearing from you!
How nice of you, and thanks for the ping. ;-)

This is just ONE company that test food nutrional vales, etc. It's not like they just make this stuff up. A business has to back up their claims with scientific objective evidence that it has in its food what they say it has or the lawyers will have a heyday............
