I'm feeling blue...

[hatman]

Sleep's all screwed up again. Had to stay awake an extra 8 hours or so for a family event. Came home, crashed. Woke up a few hours later, having had a (semi-)refreshing nap. Now I'm in limbo. So, for the heck of it...

Apparantly, I like Obama. That's good news. Saves me a lot of research, too. Thanks, meme!

Less pollution would be good. And getting people to take care of themselves would, too.

But how would you make it happen? You're not willing to enforce Social Security. How would you make sure that people eat healthy? Have what's good for them, not overindulge in junk, keep to decent portion sizes, get regular exercise... Not exactly things you can control without managing someone's entire life.

Even if you just wanted to make reasonably priced healthy food more available... how would you go about it?

I don't want to infringe on the rights of the average grocery-shopping American . I want to infringe on the liberties of those big farming *industries* that keep so many animals packed together in one small space, that they have to pump them full of antibiotics to combat the sickness that would otherwise run rampant. I want to restrict the companies that cram tons of sugar and corn syrup into every stupid can of vegetables. I want food that's already been cooked for you to accordingly cost more than the non-preservative-laced raw materials.

I don't want to take away your right to eat cheezy-puffs. I just want to guard the rights of people (like me, often) who want to by a loaf of bread without having to scan the ingredients list for long, nonfood-sounding words like Monosodoglutehythetaminoxidate. =/

Yeah. That makes sense. Farming reform would be a good thing. And we're getting it, to some degree, with the growth of organic farming and greater awareness of stuff like what went into that whole spinach crisis last year.

The cramming sugar thing is a good point, too, though it's a dicier issue.

As for you... you can shop at Whole Foods or something. ... You just have to be able to afford it...
