tax cuts on beer and popcorn, huh?

i'm actually offended that they would do this on saturnalia, as well. our culture has moved past christianity. when will the government stop trying to enforce these religious ideas that our culture is no longer interested in?

like, apparently he wants to go after polyunsaturated fats.

which are actually very good for you, at least according to science.

apparently, he's concerned that they have estrogen but, in fact, estrogen is extremely good for lowering bad cholesterol and the estrogenic effect in the pufa is no doubt responsible for it's positive effects on cholesterol levels. do you want to see my blood cholesterol? it's shocking. i have higher levels of good cholesterol (hdl) than bad cholesterol (ldl), which is unheard of, and it's due to the estrogen.

i mean that absolutely. literally. it's not a ratio. my hdl > ldl. or, if you want to take ratios, the ratio is <1, usually around 0.8. doctors tend to ask people to aim for 2:1, as a goal.

but it might make you less likely to want to break stuff.

which is bad.

apparently.
obviously, i don't want rfk messing with vaccine regulations or taking fluoride out of the water, but whether i'm in support of his healthy food agenda is a different question.

i need him to answer the following question, and i hope it comes up in the senate.

sir, do you believe that ketchup is a vegetable? if not, would you settle for it being a fruit?

i will base my further analysis on his answer to that question.
this just in!

the ndp are indicating that they won't support the liberals in the next confidence motion unless the liberals pick up their plan to double sodium consumption in canadians under 40 and triple processed sugar consumption in canadians over 50.

the liberals have indicated that they'll need to send the proposal to committee to find a way to amend it to appeal to the sikh community first, but they're otherwise open to the idea.
maybe they should just privatize healthcare while they're at it, if they're so concerned about starving the beast. these are valid sources of government income.

they should be introducing a new a tax on junk food to fight obesity, not removing taxes on this garbage pre-packaged, over-processed non-food they're talking about to get fat and lazy people to vote for them.

it's a sad state of affairs when this is what passes as a fake left in this country. as i've said before, you have three choices: you can vote for stephen harper in a blue shirt, or you can vote for stephen harper in a red shirt or, if you don't like that, you can vote for stephen harper in an orange shirt, too.
