"The Richest, Creamiest Fat In All The Land"

"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 a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o 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".

Demolition Man

I'm healthy. I am most likely healthier then 90% of America because I workout regularly, I take multivitamins, I don't smoke, and I drink occasionally (well, alot really). In doing so, one of the few things I like to do that is very unhealthy is eat sh*tty food sometimes. Not all the time, just occasionally to get a break from fish, vegetables, and other way too healthy crap.

I do not appreciate when people decide what is healthy and what isn't for me:



The Arches Have Fallen - First it was the supersize (ahem...F**K you Morgan Spurlock...if you eat ANYTHING in those quantities, you'll die), now it's the transfatty oil. Now although yes, I know, transfats release free radicals that destroy portions of DNA and lead to somethings such as cancer...the new transfree oil probably doesn't taste as good. But see...here's the kicker...fast food is not meant to be consumed in regular quantities. Just like smoking, drugs, booze, and porn...anything in moderation is okay...even free radicals!

I was irritated in the fact that just because fat people got fat, eating McDonald's, the supersize was pulled. Now the Government is stepping in talking about banning transfats because it kills people. Let's check the stats their Uncle Sugar...what about smoking? Why has this not been completely banned yet...oh yeah, because it's individual choice on what they want to consume.

I can see the justification behind it, however, other then it's the government telling private industry to make costly, semi-unnecessary changes....it also changes what I, as an individual, am allowed to consume. Sure, I can't have something which in excess will promote cancer, but the guy next to me can fire up his cigarettes all he wants until he does get lung cancer and dies.



Got Listeria? - Not to confuse my argument above with what I'm attacking in this rant. Unpasteurized milk? Gross. I don't care if this is illegal or not because my beef is not with the FDA on this. My beef is with the psychos that drink the crap and run the risk of picking up any number of diseases. My greater beef is with these psychos that feed it to their children.

Oh, sorry, I just read that Sally Fallon, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation, a nonprofit that advocates consumption of whole, natural foods, stated that “raw milk is like a magic food for children.” If you call feeding your children something that will make them get hemorrhagic diarrhea, then I guess that's magical.

These meatballs argue that the certain vitamins and enzymes that are destroyed in milk during pasteurization make raw milk better apparently haven't heard of the concept of fruit, vegetables, or perhaps, other sources of this. Yes, I've gotten that it destroys certain levels of B and C vitamins...but I promise you, that if you drink orange juice, or even a big ol' chunk of broccoli, you'll be okay. And the best part is, that orange juice or green leafy substance won't make you piss blood out your ass. Isn't that super?!

I chalk this one up to Darwinism. People who blatantly disregard science and nutrition because they believe they've found the miracle cure. That's right up there with using leeches to "purify blood", a big ol' colossal jump back into the dark ages.
