I doubt that they are unfortunately we conservatives are sometimes to accepting of other view points unlike most libs.

MGM was owned by Kirk Kirkorian and he was a patriot and great business leader. The management today did not pay attention to how Kirk built that company. To bad Mr. Kirkorian is not still running things.

Many food-based companies are also committing brand suicide by pursuing politically correct “healthy” diets.

I stopped buying orange juice several years ago because all the national brands have switched to low fructose oranges that have almost no sweetness and taste slightly acidic and slightly bitter.

I'm about to give up on Mountain High yogurt, which is now owned by General Mills. I have bought their high fat original Vanilla yogurt since the 1970s. But, recently they decided to cut back on how much cane sugar they add, and their trademark brand literally has no taste at all anymore.

I used to buy several national brands of excellent canned peas, but they have cut back on salt and now use lower carbohydrate peas, which means unpleasant texture and unpleasant taste.

I used to be a huge consumer of expensive bread, which I would toast and lather with Shedds Spread (Country Crock). Now, all the best bread brands brag about having no high fructose corn syrup, and Shedds Spread brags about having massively lowered its fat content.

Every one of those products has lost display space and display prominence in major food stores - partly because of false health claims, and partly because loyal consumers like me have given up buying them.

Bottom Line - an average person who maintains a healthy body weight and engages in physical activity every day does not need to worry about carbs, sugars, and dietary fats.

Four hundred miles? Why didn’t you just send them a check and save all that trouble? Nobody has a chicken sandwich that good.

Sounds almost like 1984 was a manual, not a warning.

My GAWD he looks absolutely reptilian!

I used to mak a pretty good living working with companies in industries that were declining.

Never before have I seen an industry actively pursue a course of action that would alienate more than half of their potential market. We kid about journalists having low SAT scores, but it appears that it is true and that it will eventually kill off the industry. These people are idiots.

You forgot the most important part. When food companies change things for the “better,” the “improvements” become a green light for them to raise prices. I know it’s fast food, but Arby’s is a great example. Every time they introduce a new sandwich, they come with a high price tag but also price increases across the entire menu. I a few months, the new sandwich will most likely be no longer offered, but the price increases stay.

Rand was a terrible writer. Orwell’s Animal Farm and 1984 were masterpiece and writing these books actually destroyed him.

Big diff. Rand had a very dark anti Judeo Christian spirit.

That was a good read. The headline asks one of the most important cultural questions we’re facing. I was somewhat disappointed that he ended the article with the same question, without having oferred any theoretical answer to it. There are some really good theories posted in the replies to the thread.

I’ve been streaming Fox News shows on my laptop and Kindle Fire 10 tablet. I do not have a cable subscription. I pay a monthly fee for a phone/Wi Fi bundle which is about $88 a month and most of that cost is for add-on taxes. There is no charge for the You Tube app or to stream the Fox News programs on my android device. If it’s live streaming of the show in progress, you get commercials. If the show is a couple hours old, there are no commercials. I also have Amazon Prime to get additional content of TV shows, films, books, magazines.
