You know, that's another thing I can't stand... If poor people want to buy junk food with their food stamps - WHO THE FU@K CARES! It's better than them buying drugs or selling them for cash!
I always hate it when people complain about food stamp recipients buying junk food because what people eat is their choice! If you are going to give people money to buy food, don't be a d1ck and try to tell them what to buy! What is good for you isn't necessarily what it good for someone else.
I just feel that trying to force people to eat healthy isn't very American. Let people eat what they want to eat! If people want to eat what many consider to be "healthy" foods that's fine! If they don't, that's fine too! Just so long as it's food they are using the food stamps for I could care less what they enjoy eating!
It reminds me of that a$$hole Michael Bloomberg and his Hitler like soda ban where he tried to dictate how much soda a person could buy in one setting! Who the fu@k did this old fu@k think he was!? What if someone tried to limit the amount of shameless and pathetic poon-hounding that old fu@k does!? How would he feel about that!? What if someone tried to limit the amount of money he could fu@k people out of at one time? How would he feel about that!? The guy was, and I suspect still is a liberal $hit-head.

Poor people use their food stamps to buy junk food ...... Anyone who has been in a grocery store the first week of the month see's it .
I think we should be able to say where our tax dollars go on our tax return 's !
You liberals can say .... "I want my tax dollars to go to the poor ."
And the rest of us can say " I want my tax dollars to go to ..... whatever ."
I like that idea. Somewhere along the line I was volunteered to pay for everyones irresponsibility, problems, laziness and stupidity..
Mine was..You get a tax statement of the people you payed for or helped each year.
Or, those welfare people given the tax list and required to at least send a thank you card.
Can you imagine the change if each welfare recipient had to face the people whos taxes helped them?
Wouldnt those who were taxed start pulling strings to educate the person or get them a job so they would stop taking their money?
I wish it worked like that. I'd have my "foster kids" up on their feet in no time.
They wouldn't just be a nameless welfare recipient getting help from a nameless donor. See, theres all sorts of ways to improve this country...imo

I don't know... Maybe I am wrong in my thinking, or my thinking on this issue isn't very conservative... But I think things like food assistance and healthcare are things that poor people should be entitled to regardless..
It's just not American to take these two things away from them... Housing, and other such allowances, well that's another story... They better have families or good friends is all I got to say otherwise another means of getting lower income people into housing needs to be figured out.
For example, look at all the automobiles that liberals crushed in the cash for clunkers program! Wouldn't it have been nice to put lower income people into these cars and have them pay back a portion of that money before the government lien come off the title? They would at least have had transportation to and from work and such! Plus we would get a return on our investment from giving middle class people a perk for buying a newer more fuel efficient car! And if they couldn't handle that responsibility we could have auctioned off the vehicles for scrap or whatever to the highest bidder, further offsetting our expenditure in the original program! It would have helped both middle and lower class people along with the wealthy by giving some sort of ROI on the initial investment!
Same went for housing! We could have put lower and middle class people into all them foreclosed homes and had them making very small interest only payments while the economy was down with a graduating scale to eventually get them in the position to buy them, with the lien coming off the home once they paid it off! And if they couldn't handle even that, then we could have put someone else in the home until we found a winner! But truth of that matter is many people would have improved the homes and stated to make something for themselves! It sure would have been a whole lot better than selling all them homes for pennies on the dollars to wealthy overseas buyers who in turn just moved in more of their people or rented them out to these same lower / middle class income Americans for over inflated rent!
It's total BS! Obama and Democrats were complete 1diots and squandered everything! They were the most wasteful Administration in the entire history of the USA and the near $30 Trillion dollar debt is proof!

They will buy someone 100 dollars of groceries for 50 dollars cash. Then they go buy drugs with the cash and grab the nearest phonebook to jot down their pretend job applications.
Another idea...welfare savings account. It comes out of paycheck in a small tax. Even an investment option to boot. Someone becomes unemployed their own savings kicks in..
There are solutions to about everything. But, we need actual problem solvers to run the circus for a while...imo.

Wow !
So .... Let them eat what they want and we pay for it ... And pay for their health care as a result !
YES ! You are WRONG !
No, I am not wrong...
Let them eat what they want... But ultimately the amount of money they are given dictates how much they can buy / eat.
Very rare that you see people that live cradle to grave on handouts, unless of course we are talking about Democrat strongholds, in which case it's not really their fault... Rather the fault of the liberals who promote this.
And yes, we pay for their healthcare! If you really think that eating habits are going to cause health problems then you're just kidding yourself. Obese people don't have eating problems... They have exercise problems, you see this in obese people regardless if they are taking hand outs or making good money sitting on their a$$es all day.
Taking away the money people use to buy food in a hard time in their life is not the solution. Taking away their healthcare so they just get worse and cost us even more is not the solution... Allowing them to get sicker and sicker and spread this to others who are not collecting welfare is not the solution either.
You lack simple insight... You "think" it's so easy because you never offer up any suggestions on how better to run a nation. You think everything is so simple because it's very easy to live life when just thinking of yourself. I'm willing to bet you don't have much family to support outside of yourself. This is clear to many.
Just so you know ... They sell their food stamps for cash so they can buy their drugs !
Wake the f**k up !
Some do... It's not right and often times these people eventually get caught. Then we get to pay for them 100% when they are in jail or they come by your house, rape you and take all your money while giving you a scorching case of the clap. Regardless, unless they are cheating their dependents by doing this, it's still cheaper than throwing them in jail.
Unfortunately, it's the kids who get the short end of the stick... At least until such time as we catch their parents slipping.

In Ohio they can't get away with that. Any taxable item purchased is rejected and they must pay cash for those items.
To keep their card they must stay active in the jobs program.

What is "funding the obesity epidemic" is reactionaries, aka social conservatives.
Just look at the screeching from them when Michelle Obama tried some very basic steps to address the problem, like trying to get children to eat healthy food.
"OH MAH GAWD! PO HONEY BOO BOO JUST WON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO IF SHE DOESN'T GET HER TWINKIE AND COKE FOR LUNCH!"
"OH MAH GAWD! PO CHILLUNS WILL GO HUNGRY BEFORE THEY WILL EAT THOSE BEANS AND CARROTS! PUT THE TWINKIES AND COKE BACK IN OUR SCHOOLS!"
"OH MAH GAWD! THINK OF THE UNEMPLOYMENT IF COKE LOSES SALES!"
"KETCHUP ON FRIES IS A VEGETABLE!!!!"
Social conservatives are extremely self-destructive, and particularly easily farmed like livestock by unscrupulous corporations. That's why "the uneducated" who Trump professes to love are so much more obese than university students.
Indra Noori, CEO of PepsiCo: "I don't know why anyone would want to drink sugar-laden pop when they could choose diet pop instead, but they keep buying it so we keep making it!"

Lobo, I can’t let you get away with that, apparently you never read anything but government propaganda. Diet coke contains an artificial sweetener that is a poison. It causes an epidemic of diabetes and causes people to crave food and get fat. Yes, you heard that right, it does not cause people to lose weight, but causes them to gain weight.
And you say: “Just look at the screeching from them when Michelle Obama tried some very basic steps to address the problem, like trying to get children to eat healthy food.”
Apparently you have never seen one of these so called “healthy” meals that were being FORCED on unfortunate, hapless school kids, who just dumped it in the garbage can on the way out. Thank the Good Lord that that has now been stopped. And the kids themselves and their parents are cheering. Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord. Thank you Lord.
Lobo, don’t describe this crap as “healthy” until you sit down and eat it yourself—for a year.
Lobo, you talk like a Communist, using all its buzz words. And you talk like one of the animals on George Orwell's "Animal Farm". Which animal are you?

No. You should know better, but I know you don't.
Any time I seem to be using "communist buzz words" it must be because communist philosophers and I are both more intelligent than you, and arrived at the same solid conclusion independently.
Thanks for the demonstration of reactionary social conservatives fighting for their processed sugars and deep-fried yum yums though!

There is a simple reason for that. If the lazy people are left to starve, sooner or later they will come for what you have. And in the US, the lazy people are well armed so if they are hungry enough they will have no problem killing you to raid your fridge.
Welfare in a capitalist system like the US is primarily a crime deterrent.

I may get some organic milk in a store for 1 coffee and tea in the am. Nothing else, cept maybe a few pops for guests don't know any better and can't do without.
I distill my water and drink quite a bit of it. More people should do water, they may learn to like it. So many friends are 12pk a day sugar soda drinkers

Guess you thought wrong! And you're wrong with regards to cost also!
There are almost 4 liters in a gallon! A gallon of milk and a gallon of Coke or Pepsi are about the same cost.
I drink milk in Tea during the winter months only and milk with cereal. Occasionally I'll have a glass of milk with warm chocolate chip cookies.
I don't drink water period! Unless it's a real hot day and the water is ice cold. In fact, it's been proven bottled water contains chemicals that are bad for you! And any f00l who trust tap water and the stuff they put into that are pretty foolish also! Well water can be just as deadly depending if its exposed to contamination such as dead animals, fertilizer or other such naturally occurring mineral deposits and such. You notice most people who drink well water at a young age are short and have weak bones.
Soda Pop isn't the greatest either but I drink this mostly and I stay away from any diet drinks as they are packed with sodium and artificial sweeteners that are known to give lab rats cancer. People talk like soda pop is so corrosive but truth is our stomachs aren't made out of steel so it's not the same. Our stomachs contain acids that would also eat thru steel much quicker. In my opinion the soda breaks down food and helps digestion whereas water does nothing of the sort. There are foods that go together much like pickles and hamburgers along with wine and Italian food or vinegar and deep fried foods.
I know someone in my family that has drank coke since forever and they are almost 90 years old! Even Lobo's idol Warren Buffet drinks a lot of coke but that's not really fair to mention given the fact he owns some 60 million shares of coke.
Still, what is good for you does not mean it's good for me.
And FYI Robot, anything outside of Coke or Pepsi is not really soda pop.. it's $hit! Perhaps Fago could be a 3rd place but even that's scraping the bottom of the barrel. Best to stick with Coke!

I cannot ignore that crime would be more rampid without welfare assistance. Desparate starving people will commit criminal acts to survive..

Stalin starved, what 30 million people, to prove a point? Mao killed your mother a father for having sex? Che, he just killed you to kill you. What do all have in common? Gov't domination over your life.
With freedom comes great responsibility. It's not easy.

I might argue that crime is more rampant with elevated levels of social welfare. When kids don't think they have to stay in school and don't study hard, do drugs, and think that being a hoodrat is a good thing, then claiming welfare...is not a good attitude to have. Who teaches this victim fatalism? Hollywood of course, just turn on the TV. It's certainly not coming from your grandma. Or is it now?

I never said make welfare extravagant like Obama did... You know, 99 weeks of unemployment and the sky is the limit.
Just enough to get by, but then again... People will still abuse that too...
It's one of them things...

Jilly, you say: “People forget that opium dens were legal in the US back in the early 1900's. Not saying it was a good thing, but it's true."
Yes, actually, in the beginning coca-cola contained cocaine (from coco leaves), hence the name “coca”, but the Federal Government eventually stopped them from putting coca in the drink. (We found early Coca Cola stock owned by my grandfather in his stuff after he and my grandmother had died. Wonder if the stock is still good. If it is, it could be worth a fortune.)
Robot, you say; “Organic People pay a premium for produce grown the way it was 150 years ago. Fields covered in un sterilized Cow Crap running the risk of Listeria.”
Yes, manure (cow and chicken) makes very good fertilizer. And all you have to do is plow it under. No problem. And plants like it. Makes them grow like crazy. And if you are growing hydroponically, you soak the manure in water and use the liquid, which is called manure tea, as the liquid fertilizer. Plants like it, grow like crazy. And don’t knock it. After the Third World War, we will return to growing plants this way. Human waste is typically not used as fertilizer because of fear it may contain bacteria harmful to humans. But cow and chicken manure works good with no problems.

Quote from shawnee_b:
I may get some organic milk in a store for 1 coffee and tea in the am. Nothing else, cept maybe a few pops for guests don't know any better and can't do without.
I distill my water and drink quite a bit of it. More people should do water, they may learn to like it. So many friends are 12pk a day sugar soda drinkers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I drink the minimum RDA for milk. At least 2 cups a day. There's a method to my madness though.
I've always been lactose intolerant. So when I drink milk I cut a few milk farts.
Thing is? As I get older I'm more prone to heartburn (unless of course I get off my lazy *zz and walk my dogs or something).
My habit has always been to drink my pint of milk late at night. Helps me sleep as it does million of other Americans.
And when I go to bed is when heartburn will hit if and/or when it is building up.
But, ... AHA ... drinking my milk and cutting a few milk farts releases all the gas I may or may not have.
And so I sleep like a baby ... that has had his milk.

Ouch. Damn shawn. Sh*t happening to you, huh?
I keep a little soda pop around. Generic cola and lemon lime soda. Ladies I invite for drinks like bourbon and coke and bourbon and seven. That kind of thing. They like margarita's too. So, I gotta keep lime juice on hand too. And/or some of that margarita mix with HFCS in it. 
I've been reading the posts in this thread. "I don't drink this ... I don't drink that". 
loco and his "fruit juice is fattening". LMAO
Like everybody is an Essene monk like John the Baptist or something.

Stalin starved, what 30 million people, to prove a point?
The "point" why Stalin killed millions of people was in the RIGHT-WING overthrow of socialism.
As I've pointed out countless times, those infamous mass graves of Stalin are filled with communists, not capitalists. The stalinists killed off the left, shut down the socialist movement, propped themselves up as a privileged elite, and then restored capitalism at the earliest convenience as the preferred method of raping the working class and looting the public till.
If the left (i.e., the working-class) was actually a killing machine, there would be a lot of dead CEOs, a lot of dead capitalists, and a lot of dead capitalist politicians littering the streets of America. But instead those right-wingers rape the working class and loot the pubic till with impunity. They have no fear of the workers they are raping.
On the other hand, we know all about the murderous capitalists of the Evil Empire as they lie America into one, murderous, refugee-creating imperialist war after another in search of vast new riches for themselves.
And it's not just the disgusting capitalists of the Evil Empire. It's all capitalists!

The Universal Lesson of East Timor
May 9, 2017
by John Pilger
http://www.counterpunch.org/2017/05/09/the-universal-lesson-of-east-timor/
Excerpts:
Filming undercover in East Timor in 1993 I followed a landscape of crosses: great black crosses etched against the sky, crosses on peaks, crosses marching down the hillsides, crosses beside the road. They littered the earth and crowded the eye.
The inscriptions on the crosses revealed the extinction of whole families, wiped out in the space of a year, a month, a day. Village after village stood as memorials.
Virgillo Celestino wrote that his father had survived the Indonesian invasion of East Timor in 1975, but he went on: “In August 1983, Indonesian forces entered our village, Kraras. They looted, burned and massacred, with fighter aircraft overhead. On 27 September 1983, they made my father and my wife dig their own graves and they machine-gunned them. My wife was pregnant.”
The priest of Kraras wrote on the final page: “To the capitalist governors of the world, Timor’s petroleum smells better than Timorese blood and tears. Who will take this truth to the world? … It is evident that Indonesia would never have committed such a crime if it had not received favourable guarantees from [Western] governments.”
As the Indonesian dictator General Suharto was about to invade East Timor (the Portuguese had abandoned their colony), he tipped off the ambassadors of Australia, the United States and Britain. In secret cables subsequently leaked, the Australian ambassador, Richard Woolcott, urged his government to “act in a way which would be designed to minimise the public impact in Australia and show private understanding to Indonesia.” He alluded to the beckoning spoils of oil and gas in the Timor Sea that separated the island from northern Australia.
There was no word of concern for the Timorese.
In 1993, the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Australian Parliament estimated that “at least 200,000” East Timorese, a third of the population, had perished under Suharto.
Australia was the only western country formally to recognise Indonesia’s genocidal conquest. The murderous Indonesian special forces known as Kopassus were trained by Australian special forces at a base near Perth. The prize in resources, said Foreign Minister Gareth Evans, was worth “zillions” of dollars.
In my 1994 film, Death of a Nation: the Timor Conspiracy, a gloating Evans is filmed lifting a champagne glass as he and Ali Alatas, Suharto’s foreign minister, fly over the Timor Sea, having signed a piratical treaty that divided the oil and gas riches of the Timor Sea.

There's a very good reason why capitalists are eager to confuse the working-class and point to the ugly, murderous, right-wing counter-revolution AGAINST socialism/communism as being communism.

You don't seem to mind paying trillions of dollars for the socialism of trillions of dollars to bail capitalists out of their bad investments. You don't seem to mind paying trillions of dollars in socialism for the imperialist wars of capitalism. You don't seem to mind paying hundreds of billions of dollars building capitalists stadiums. You don't seem to mind paying hundreds of billions of dollars providing subsidies to capitalist corporations

condor, you are very wrong. The only way such could be true is through Gov't. The socialism/communism you promote. The history of the world is very clear, socialism/communism always results in the pain and suffering of the people.

Condor, you are off topic, this thread is about why fat people are fat. You are constantly promoting communism and socialism, and constantly calling left right and right left, thinking that Americans are so stupid that they will switch sides simply because you do not know your right from your left. And you are constantly labeling capitalism as the only evil. Your manta is: Communism is good, capitalism is evil.
Two things: first, there are two kinds of capitalism: there is state capitalism and then there is private capitalism. But you never differentiate between the two. God commands men on Earth not to covet another man’s wife and another man’s goods. Does that sound to you like God is forbidding private capitalism here? Capitalism, in and of itself is neither good nor evil, but like everything else, it can be used for good or for evil. Oh, I know, I know, being a Godless Marxist, you don’t believe in God and have no use for God.
Second, Communism is not good, as you would have us all believe, it is evil. If you visit any Communist nation today, you will see that they are Hell holes, and that its citizens do not fare well. And concerning socialism, it does not work on Earth. Father Paul of Moll, a Benedictine priest who performed all manner of miracles, including raising the dead, and who have the gift of unusual knowledge, all of which came directly from God, said that Socialism was a passing fad on Earth. By contrast, nations in which private capitalism is respected, you know, free enterprise systems, work well. That is a large part of why America was once such a great nation. Liberals like yourself are trying to turn it into a socialist Hell hole, but the election of Donald Trump is throwing a monkey wrench into that plan.

Many people see red meat as a danger, but this is not necessarily so. Lean cuts of grass-fed beef with no antibiotics or hormones is what I always buy. Even in restaurants I will have grass fed burgers the vast majority of the time. Sure it's more expensive, but why put a price tag on your health?

And the diet soda is even worse for people as regular soda which is bad enough. There has been research conducted which shows that drinking diet soda won’t help people to fight fat.
And even worse than that, the chemicals in diet soda can lead to all sorts of serious health problems, from diabetes, to high blood pressure, to kidney problems and more. It turns out that there are a ton of scary dangers of diet soda.

Soda with sugar is not as bad for you as diet soda. And now days, they rarely use sugar in soda. It's high fructose corn syrup, which is one of the worst things you can put in your body.
Look in the soda isle. How many do you see made with sugar?
