Was reading an article earlier in the day. It was about
meals and snacks we feed our kids that we think are healthy
and nutritious, but really are not. On the list were
peanut butter sandwiches, applesauce, whole milk, and
more.
Yesterday it was announced that the mayor of Springfield,
MO wants to push to raise cigarette taxes in the state
simply because ours are the lowest in the nation and
apparently we can't have that happening. He wants to
do this by enforcing the Hammond Law, which goes ahead
with a tax despite it being voted down again and again.
A cigarette tax increase has repeatedly been voted down in the
state.
Today it is announced the FDA is putting graphic images
on 50% of a cigarette pack - images of people dying.
San Francisco is trying to ban toys in Happy Meals.
Oh I could comment on all of these issues, but I will
just say this:
I get it already, shut the hell up. We are all fat
smokers who drink too much.
By the constant bombardment of everything we do wrong,
we get to the point of "What the fuck?"
Is it any wonder why more and more people are flipping
out? Hell I'm surprised more don't. Unemployment being
on the rise, taxes constantly increasing, housing and
living expenses rising out of sight, but hey, let's worry
about something really stupid. Especially if someone else
is doing it.
