Now Big Brother is telling us what we can and can't eat??!!!

The smoking ban was tough on smokers, but at least there was some
rationale
that the non-smoking public was put at risk by second-hand smoke. But who
does it hurt when we eat a Big Mac??!

Would be nice if the gov't and those who run it (and vote for it),
realized that you canNOT legislate common sense (seat belt laws, no
smoking laws, gun registration, jaywalking, et al). People, being
human, will do what they will do. It's called free will, and we have
it for a reason (do I know why? Nope, not in the least, but it'd be
real boring if we didn't have it, don't you think?). Do we listen to
the 'inner voice' that says "no"? Not real often it seems, but
still...

If I *know* it will hurt me (smoking), and I continue to do so (eating
at Burger King or Sonic or Wendys, don't care for McDs), then that is
*my* fault not someone else's. If I'm fat, it's because of *me*
(genetics, choices, diseases), I shouldn't be allowed to blame a fast
food restaurant for serving food loaded with fats. I didn't have to
eat there.

Now, if we could legislate that health clubs had to make themselves
affordable for all people (lol).... Not that it'd help me, you
understand....<snicker>

I'm living in fear that if this passes the government will make exercise
classes mandatory and fine the people who miss their work-outs! Somebody
hand me my wallet, 'cause with Fibromyalgia sore muscles last for *weeks*!

I have a close friend who has fibromyalgia and from what she tells me
I prefer to
have my own medical issues, thank you. She gets SSD, doc-certified,
all legit.
Has for years now. Check into it, maybe you could too.
WHY did someone have to bring up seat-belt laws? You KNOW how I feel
about
that topic. Don't get me started. One sentence: fast food isn't an
instant killer
unless you choke on it, LOL....takes a long time to coat the plaque on
those
coronary arteries....but now seat belts...another ballpark entirely.
