Don't they cost "us" alot of money too?

Yeah, it would make a lot more sense to incur taxes on obese people for their food, that would probably solve a lot more problems.

The obesity epidemic doesn't have to do with freedom. It has to do with overzealous marketing and consumerism. People are *tricked* into eating as much as they do because companies' make profit from it. Something does have to be done.

Now I see the source of your reasoning. :laugh:

That you're a transparent moron? You're not actually helping anyone, and you're only fooling yourself.
It's easy to pretend that you're solving the world's problems by proposing impossible and unfeasible remedies.
It's far harder to actually try to work towards solving the world's problems.

I'm not the one who misstated the facts. You have presented no logical argument. But you get high marks for knowledge of children's riddles and such. :cookie: A ban on cigarettes is hardly impossible. :eek: (That's for you-- I am nothing if not compassionate.)

You must be a troll. No one can be this stupid and this far from reality. You have completely misstated the facts (which I assume is why you don't bother to provide any evidence for them), and you are incapable of understanding something so simple that we teach it to children.

Whoopsie-doopsie, Vic!

I am nonplused-- someone must have missed the "ban" button when you made Elite on this forum. You have the worst logic, manners and research skills of anyone I've seen. It's a miracle if you can bother to check Wikipedia.

Whoops! http://www.druglibrary.org/prohibitionresults1.htm

You should that, from your own article, it corroborates the data that alcohol use was ALREADY declining prior to the passage of the Volstead Act, and that alcohol use began to increase again long before it was repealed.
I think that most everyone can agree that FDR didn't repeal Prohibition because it was a success.


Oh shit owned.
