“The tobacco companies probably prefer a live customer also...”
And there you have it. The attack on tobacco was a major tool to the usurpation of private property rights and individual liberty. They laid the foundation and now they have many who will use that foundation to the further usurpation of private property rights and infringements on individual liberty.
In fact, as I was reading many of your posts earlier I kept catching the same sentiment in many of the pro-tobacco ban FReepers from those threads. It actually was sending the same chills up my spine.
The fact that someone is on FR and has the access to so much information and a clear motivation to learn, is still willing to use the marxists foundations, is pretty sad....
When we have fellow FREE REPULICANS (referencing the form of government not the political party) that stand with those that want to eliminate private property and limit individual liberty, then the battle is lost.
Hey look, you go on eating what you want to eat, and if you don’t care what’s in it or where it comes from, good for you. I want full disclosure about the food I eat; what’s in it, where it comes from, etc. And there’s no good reason why that info can’t and shouldn’t be provided so I can make my own decision rather than relying on someone else to make the decision for me.
If you go back and read Okie01’s reply to me you’ll see that he used the example of trusting the food makers to give me good food because they like having living customers that return to buy more food. I used his same example regarding the tobacco companies. Do you think they want to kill off all their customers who will then not be around to buy their product? It is a fair and accurate comparison. You can look at the recent dog food recalls as a great example; was it the dog food makers goal to kill all those dogs so people stop buying their food, or should we just trust them to use superior ingredients that won’t harm our animals? Oops for the people that just trusted that their dog food wasn’t coming from China.
The greeny types have also been warning about BPA in certain plastics and study after study shows they have harmful effects. But you probably think that’s a lie also. Fine by me if you or anyone else keeps putting plastics into their bodies. I’ve looked at as much info about it as I can and I make different choices. Sure am glad I have the freedom to do so instead of just going along with what you say.
Don’t even dare compare me to a marxist because I think I deserve to know what is in the food I purchase. It’s actually the other way around as I see it, by you telling me I don’t deserve to know, just buy it and shut up. The gov’t already requires ingredients to be listed, the list should be as accurrate as possible and there’s no good reason it can’t be.
