My opinion is to leave HFCS alone and quit Nationalizing AND subsidizing everything. Whenever the government does either, it fucks with the balance of things. We see this in all industries.

So is it that you're opposed to healthy foods being cheaper then?

![]() Seriously, though...I asked you earlier...you think that the concept of Joe Q Public taking the initiative to investigate healthier eating options is an impossibility...why? And if Joe Q Public is NOT willing to assume that responsibility, who IS? |

Joe Q Public just isn't "smart" enough. I put smart in quotations because smart is an interchangeable world there, but most people simply don't have enough curiosity to change their way of thinking. Pretty much everyone I know, myself included, grew up on junk food. We chugged sodas, we ate Doritos, got pizza everyday at lunch in school. The only nutrition info we ever received as children was the basic food groups and the goddamn food pyramid. That in turn is how we ate when we grew up and how our children under us are learning to eat... Cycle. Intelligent, thinking, reasoning, responsible people do not need government intervention in their lives, they've got this under control. But unfortunately, intelligent people also tend to breed less indiscriminately and are therefore outnumbered by you know who. Those people need guidance in their lives to make intelligent decisions. Its why they go places that teach them a predetermined set of morals, its why they function well in cubicles, can't use a blinker when they turn, etc. etc. etc. Those people are brainwashed from a very early age by an overwhelming advertising campaign that champions the shit out of everything that is unhealthy. They are simply not going to one day decide there is something fishy going on with their food supply. Dude, just three days ago I had an argument with a guy saying that cigarettes are not bad for your health, I'm not kidding man...some people, fucking most people, aren't smart enough to get it. They have their preset mentality and they will stick with it until they die. This forum is not representative of most people. On average, people who ride motorcycles and survive long enough to post on the internet about it are above average thinkers. You can easily see that in the debates that run this board, full of intelligent and wonderment on both sides. Now, since I'm fucking tired of watching those fat motherfuckers walking around and being nasty in front of me, I believe the system needs to be investigated and changed to put more healthy food in front of people. 101lifts nailed it on the head, if you put the good foods in front of them then that's what they're going to eat. I'm highly opposed to freedom of choice restrictions for even the dumbest of our society, but that does not mean we should continue to blindly support a system that uses AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS to subsidize the main culprit in our fast food society, good ol' motherfucking corn.

There was an article recently detailing a schools attempt to change its lunches. (No I don't remember which school and I'm not bothering to look it up.)
The school began only offering healthy foods to the kids. Something I for one am FOR and always have been. The theory being that if that's all there is to eat, they will eat it right? Guess what? The kids started bringing their lunches! You know what? I also know WAY TOO MANY intelligent people that are fat. It's not just about smarts. I also know people I don't consider intelligent (my ex) who are fat NOW but 9 years ago when I met him he exercised and ate healthy foods. I personally know some pretty smart people that have had gastric bypass. Why? Because it's EASIER to have someone surgically shrink their stomach and force them to eat smaller meals rather than choosing to do it themselves. Gastric bypass is forced behavior modification and intelligent people do it and frame it as something else.. Oh and I lived on pizza and ice cream in high school too. That doesn't mean that's what I ate the rest of my life. Last edited by MILK; 04-08-2010 at 08:44 AM.. |

Sounds like all the more reason to eliminate corn subsidies and retool our agriculture system.

Again, if you people bothered to read the abundant informative resources supplied in this thread alone, you would have seen that schools that removed soda machines and junk food had mean weight loss school wide.

An ex of mine had gastric bypass. She still lived and ate like a fat girl. She would preach to me about a little glaze on the fish I ordered but spent weekends living on nothing but beer and didn't think twice about it. People that get fat off HFCS have behavior issues and will find something else to get fat on, be it beer, sugar, or whatever.
