Not only are you making it more affordable to engage in healthy eating, but also helps cut down on the amount of packaging going into the landfull.

Eggs and chicken breasts are both out because they are not healthy. Milk is questionable. Enjoy your meal of carrots, lettuce, and broccoli—preferably steamed. While we're at it, we might as well tax Play Stations and computers because they contribute to unhealthy lifestyles and our obesity problem. Hearing problems are caused by stereos that play too loud. Let's ban them. That big cinema system of Similost's would be the first to be banned. Government cannot create a world of ideal outcomes a priori.

Actually the more I think about it we should increase the level of sugars in soft drinks and make the Big Gulp a half gallon. Then with any luck we would see Darwin in action and be rid of the idiots.

I could get behind that!


As a side note, that great crusader for health, Mayor Bloomberg, is celebrating Donut Day in New York City.

Not as long as you keep paying for their healthcare, food, housing, babies, etc. Darwin don't work that way.

The only reason we do that is because you righties fight like hell against smart things like SinglePayer. Your former governor thought it was a good idea when she slipped across the border into the Yukon.
