06-02-12, 09:28 AM #254And the problem with that logic Xav is who decides where the line is? I will skip the wild ass argument that too much toothpaste can kill someone and look at some realistic examples. Fast food, when eaten in moderation, is not "deadly". It is obviously not as good for you as home cooked food, but the biggest problem is the portion sizes make most meals 3-6000 calories, and way too much fat and sodium. So what do we do, tell these restaurants that meals/items have to conform to certain dietary guidelines, a la no Big Gulps in NY? Then what is to stop me from ordering two, or more? So then we have to move the line to where? All fast food has the be sprouts and tofu, so there is no risk of getting too much fat and cholesterol? To me it is a very slippery slope that leads to all of us eating some kind of oatmeal type slop because it is what some politicians were convinced is the ultimate super food.

06-02-12, 10:04 AM #256I am reporting from 2032 that both lettuce an cilantro are now illegal. You can find some on the black market, but it is rare and expensive. While neither item was problematic in and of itself there were too many pickers getting melanoma to continue harvesting. What a sad day that was in 2027. Enjoy it while you can.

Re: Deadliest U.S. Corporations
Well there is where personal responsibility comes in...as you have mentioned before. Why do you have to go to extremes to try to invalidate my argument? I´m not saying we should all go vegan...I´m saying that the standards of food consumption should be raised and companies serving extremely harmful products should be held liable for it. I´m not saying BAN ALL BURGERS! I´m saying, use proper ingredients in order to have a balanced, nutritious final product that is not 100% harmful to the consumer (is this too much to ask
). In regards to companies like Philip Morris, I really don´t see the point of having them around. We´re going round and round and round on this...we´re presenting the same arguments over and over.
