Get Your Overbearing Liberal Butt The Heck Out Of My Business!
Let me start by saying that I am slightly overweight. I am more than a little self conscious about it. With that being said, who's business is it? Let me give you a hint, as of this past week, I fell like making my self heavier on purpose, just as a way to tell Mayor Bloomberg, and everyone of the other nannies I have seen on the television lately to @#$* off, and mind their own gosh darned business.
I have watched one, "expert," after another take to the air waves to tell me that sugar, is the root of all evil in our world today. I guess that part of me is happy to see that wealth has been moved to second place on the liberal's list of things to demagogue. Never mind the fact that sugar occurs naturally in every single living thing found in our universe, and is the most basic food source found for all living animals on our planet. Never mind that thousands of years of evolutionary behavior have us craving sugar from the moment we are born. Never mind the fact that nature in its infinite wisdom has seen fit to make certain that the the first taste buds to develop on our tongues are those that can detect sugar. Let us put all of that aside and stipulate for just one moment that every thing said by the following panel of, "experts," is true.
For my friends at TPN, follow this link to the following Fox News Panel.

Even if sugar is the scary health risk that these very fine folks say it is. How does that lead to the government enacting legislation of this sort? This is another one of those, "finding out what's in it," moments. The Obamacare law has led to its next logical step even before any of the benefits have kicked in. Governments get to legislate behaviors which they believe will promote the communal health. Since our health care is now pooled and paid for by the community at large, being overweight is now an affront not only to ourselves, but to society as a whole. And while it may or may not be true that my second favorite beverage, Coke, may double the caloric value of my lunch, and that may make it far more difficult for me to lose weight and in turn be more aesthetically pleasing for the rest of you to look upon, that remains my problem, and not yours. So, for all of the beautiful people out there who have been sucking down the NutraSweet laden beverages, and pretending that it tastes just as good, screw you hippy!
Personally, I find the concept of self appointed nannies who are willing to force me into behaving in a way that they find superior to be far more dangerous to our society than the fact that many of us need to visit the gym a few times per week. As long as my behavior does not place anyone else's life in danger, than it remains, according to the Tenth Amendment, my concern only. Literally, where does any of this end? The only discomfort in my personal life that I dislike more than the fact that weight is a problem, is the prospect of other people intruding themselves into my personal business. This is the reason why, as a general rule, I so fervently dislike the political left. Self righteous twits who seem predisposed to minding my business rather than looking in a mirror is the antithesis of every thing our nation was founded upon. The United States of America was created as a bastion of freedom from those very dolts who feel as though they are some sort of predetermined elites chosen by fate to rule over the rest of us.
I would rather be fat than insufferable. Tomorrow morning, I could always go to the gym and start my diet, all on my own. Tomorrow morning, these same people will still be insufferable jerks, attempting to inflict themselves upon the rest of us. Which would you rather do without?

What does Bloomberg know, for instance, there is just as much sugar in a beer as a soft drink, as is all alcohol, Pasta???...What does pasta turn into once digested, almost pure sugar! A medium plate of spaghetti will convert into more sugar than a Big Gulp, about the same as a one liter bottle of sugared soda. While working in the Middle East. While checking a Benzene tank in Libya, I opened the valve to test the quality and filled a container, when I turned the valve off (one we have tested over the years and no sign of wear), the valve broke off at the connection from pressure soaking me for several hours till we could find a new valve. Pure Benzene is a caustic chemical, the first by-product if one is only making gasoline. I was sent home to allow treatment and for my skin to heal. 12 years later I was diagnosed with stage 4 CML (Leukemia), it took 2 years before I was cured. I have had it twice since, and it caused MPD/MDS a genetic disorder for which there is no cure, I will be on chemo maintenance the rest of my life. It has killed part of my genetic code and has yet to be discovered.
My body can no longer make red blood, white blood cells (no immune system), folic acid, sodium and others. Sodium is so low, I have to over-salt my food plus a supplement.
With Bloomberg's war on salt, and now soda (I need sugar as well) I wouldn't do very well in NYC. WE MUST STOP all this Orwellian 1984 crap, and stay the hell out of peoples business, we already have the Speech Police, every one but Whites are a protected class...just wrong! One cannot pray in schools unless you are Muslim. The Food Police, the Teaching Police (Indoctrination), with Holder as DOJ, who is pro-crime and a racist. Re-distribution of wealth police (added 26% more to the welfare rolls, most who were lower to mid-Middle Class). Illegal health care, unless SCOTUS rules properly. Ripping apart States Rights apart.
We are no longer the America we were just a few years ago, and if Obama gets four more, we will not have a free America at all.

Agreed, John Wiseman on all points. And, I'd never wish to make decisions for you! But I hereby offer to buy you a Coke when next meet. I'd suggest a large, non-diet variety.

Vern Shotwell, I tried to touch on that a little with my second paragraph. But even that fact, such as it is, is slightly missing my mark. For me, the entire argument about whether sugar is the vile life taking substance that is being portrayed is secondary at best. What frosts me is the assumptive intrusion into my personal business that is taking place here. Who the hell invited these self anointed twits into our lives in the first place. I don't want them or any like them making decisions for me. I don't even trust you to do that.

You nailed it Vern! Given time, Liberals will boycott the Sun for causing eye-strain or excessive heat, or some goofy idea similar. Maybe they should try and legislate the universe for expanding to quickly or slowly, depending on voter trends.

The whole thing is beyond humorous...it falls somewhere between sad and ridiculous.
Let's start with the fact that everything we eat starts out as sugars, produced by photosynthesis.
The chemical formula for the process is 6CO2 + 6H2O (+ light energy) =C6H12O6 + 6O2.
(that's glucose by the way, produced by Nature's solar cells)
Produced from carbon dioxide....the stuff the EPA is trying to eliminate? Everything we eat, from meat to veggies, starts out as sugar!
Calories? You betcha! In the final analysis, we are all Solar Powered. The power of sunlight is stored as sugar, and later converted into tree trunks, little fishies as well as your left pinkie. And so on.
Perhaps some humans store a bit too much of this Solar Energy....it's really over-charging your batteries!
Without sugar, not a single blade of grass would exist on this barren rock circling the sun. Live with it, Bloomberg and all ignorant liberals.

Nature actually seeks to make us carry a few extra pounds against the days of fast and famine. Not to be seriously overweight as that would weaken us, but enough to help us survive. However, the dear Lord knonws that the decission to maintain our weight, to increase or decress our weight is our choice, not some often overweight bureaucrats. I vote against the dietary police.

Mr. John Wiseman, We are in the battle of our lives. All freedom loving Americans need to work together at this point to wrest power from those in government who would cast us into slavery to the state. All people who love liberty including (suuusssh, don't tell anyone) hippies. You know, John, I think I do sort of fit the mold I heard about in the sixties...fit it a good bit. However, no drugs, no drink, no "collective" identity, no desire to tell you what to do, make you do things, or stop you doing things that don't adversely effect others (that is a can of worms if you think about it, but not now.) You shot back rudely and all because of assumptions you made about me. Untrue and unwarranted! You called me a "hippie jerk" personally. You made me out to be a big government control freak. You attacked me.
Yes, Mr Wiseman, my comment wasn't exactly aimed at the point of your post. I just get tired of the "dirty hippie" comments on here. Maybe it is because I quit cutting my hair a few years ago and now I look the part, although I never go into work without a jacket. Yes, I try to be healthy and enjoy hard work at times...but I'm standing up for massive reductions in government power and scope in my interactions everywhere I go every day. I have a big mouth and I never miss an opportunity to make a statement about "too much government" of the "communists" in the white house. Funny thing! Of late, others chime in and agree and talk and smile approvingly right in a checkout line or shopping for chicken feed. We are turning the tide from a silent majority to a vocal nation that is fed up and going to break the chains they have forged us. Mr. Wiseman, I really do wish you the best of life and hope you can see that we need to take a breath and realize we can and must all work together to free ourselves from this oppression.

If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.
