Also.  You’re the one who seems to be outraged a bit.  It’s just selective to your topics. 

Not outraged at all, just thought you would be man enough to understand making fun of hospitalized little kids is a bit of a low blow.  I was wrong.  It happens. Enjoy

Chances Kyle Dake drinks raw milk?  I’m going 100% (although at least he’s healthy)

Six more states add snap waivers (WV, Florida, Colorado, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas). This too is a very good move by DHHS.

Good idea, but who is deciding what’s “healthy”?

For example, going back to the Diet Soda debate, it looks like Texas is including artificial sweeteners in its items that will be excluded.

People with knowledge, years of experience and extensive research.

Artificial sweetners are not excluded.   The ban in Texas will be on artificial sweeteners and/or more than five grams of sugar.    Why determine the artificial sweeteners are unhealthy?   Well let's break that down, starting with the very first word.......artificial

By “excluded,” I meant “banned.”

I’m still not sure if the science on artificial sweeteners is really settled.  Again, if you have a study or two you’d like to share I’d love to read them.

I don't have any filed away at the click of a button, but there are methods to search if one is interested. But in order to get down to the truth of things, one would have to conduct such a search with subjectivity, with the intent to learn, not search with the intent of confirmation bias.   As we all know, it's not difficult to produce a study that yields the results that we want, so one has to go about it with scrutiny of what they are reading.

But getting back to common sense.....maybe the initiative is to cut out, or drastically reduce, the intake of sodas across the board....diet, regular, sweeteners that are chemicals, sweeteners that are refined, or even sweeteners that are raw and natural, and replace them with.....I don't know.....water?
