It is not a shot. I love my fat relatives as much as my skinny ones. It's beyond me that fat people choose to play the victim. Again, someone who is obese is unsurprisingly not going to support this kind of thing....A better question since you have now polluted this thread beyond repair....Are you in favor of universal health care?

It is beyond me why you can't comprehend that this essentially isn't a health issue. You injecting assumptions about me into every discussion is not only tiresome but insulting. You think that because I am a horse trainer that I have a biased take on the NJ situation is laughable. That you would think I would argue against the banning of soda for food stamp recipients because I am in your words 'obese', is reprehnsible. You know for a fact that you wouldn't say that to my face if we ever were to discuss this in person. So why should you be allowed to take shots at me on a discussion forum? My profession and my weight have zero to do with my ability to discuss topics.

What you call 'polluted' is actually dissenting opinion.

I am not in favor of universal healthcare until I see a system that will not only provide quality care but be properly funded as well. As it stands neither will occur.

So calling someone stupid b/c you disagree with them is ok, but calling someone obese, in the context of a state trying to lower the obesity rate, is wrong? Interesting how that works....Your profession and weight do in fact have something to do with the threads you want to discuss. That is why you went into XYZ thread to begin with. Obviously, anyone of any profession is influenced by their life experiences. To think otherwise is naive....And since I practice what I preach I have actual experience with the largest food bank in the United States since I have volunteered there each of the last 5 years. And you know what? You can get soda there. You know why, b/c it was donated. The government isn't providing it, people are. I bring whatever I can bring when I go, but I can't understand wanting to donate something unhealthy to those in need.

I am not calling you stupid because you disagree with me. I'm calling you stupid because most of your responses are stupid.

I would prefer that I choose what life experiences that I wish to draw from as opposed to you making assumptions based on your version of my life experiences.

Hopefully you didn't get injured patting yourself on the back for your noble charity work.

And acting as though soda is heroin just makes your argument even weaker. Soda has been around for 100 years. The fact that kids get less exercise than ever probably has far more to do with the issues that we are experiencing than simply drinking soda. Since we are drawing on personal experience, I eat less than I did 10 years ago but since I am not doing as much physical work as I did then plus the effects of aging I am now considered obese. And I drink diet.

Wrong on soda's history of course. Corn Syrup is not 100 years old. It is the fake sugars that are the bigger issue.

Ironically, sugar free products often raise blood sugar as well.

And a nice NIH study about kidney disease and soda.
