But the thing that pisses me off the most is that anytime someone says, "Hey, this is out of hand, doing the healthy thing should not be an uphill struggle," we hear the same refrain from industry: "You want to live in a nanny state! People are obese because they don't practice personal responsibility or they don't exercise or they need more education."

BULLSHIT.

People are obese (and, far more importantly, disabled and dying prematurely from food-related chronic diseases) because we as a society have allowed industry to make that the default. It's crazy. It's time for us - acting through our elected representatives - to restore sanity. That's why I support NYC's proposed soda size cap, I support the soda taxes that are on the ballot in California, I support the happy meal standards in San Francisco, I support banning food advertising to children under five, and I support major structural reforms to the Farm Bill.

I don't trust public water fountains anymore. I gave them up when I started getting really sick when travelling. It's one of the things I ruled out as a source. I keep my hands away from my face. I wash my hands thoroughly whenever I get a chance. I stay out of the airplane toilet, and I don't drink from public fountains. Call me a germaphobe, but for the last few trips I've remained well.

"Provoking" the first lady? Please. Either you are just willfully lying (shocking, right?) or you are seriously projecting your fear of black people.

1. It was a joke

2. McDonalds is paying olympic athletes a lot of money so they can get dumb, fat americans to feel better about eating at McDonalds.

Both of those things went over your head, didn't they?

Do you really think Michelle Obama thought that her cause was set back by Gabby enjoying a McMuffin? Really?
Posted by giffy]]> Mon, 10 Sep 2012 10:41:22 -0700 The Stranger It's all kind of weird.
It's as if Gabby will be reluctant to watch that video as she remembers provoking the First Lady, nervous laughter, "joke", and all.

This is what we call joking.

Just because Romney is a robot doesn't mean his supporters have to be.

I did spend one whole afternoon during a scout jamboree looking for a "left handed windjammer" so gullible could be my middle name.

Given the athlete's metabolism, I hardly think egg, cheese, and a muffin warrants Michelle's plebeian pontificating.
