If it's good for you then you eat it. I'll take my chances on the cheeseburgers. by Dan Steward

I saw this one coming from miles away. When I was a kid of a mere seven years old Big Bother decided to ban cigarette advertisements from both radio and television. I watched the glee, the utter rapture, that people exhibited when they either smoked cigarettes or ate stuff that was supposedly bad for them. It looked the same to my young eyeballs.
That same look of joy that others (like vegetarians & non-smokers) were unable to feel then made them instantly become jealous, vindictive and absolutely loathsome towards their fellow beings. Yes, I knew it was coming even back then. Vegetarians lived in my building in north side Chicago. Wicked vegetarians. Bossy, busybody vegetarians. Vegetarians that thought they knew what others should do and were ready to use force once they only became strong enough to push others around with their numbers.
Banning salt in New York restaurants, outright banning or taxing snack foods. The Gooberment Food Pyramid and the insane way that it even looked much less the lack of logic in it's make-up. And anorexic fools asking us to eliminate meat from our diet. If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he make them taste so good? P.E.T.A. can bite me, of course then they would not be able to call themselves good vegans anymore.
And oatmeal. Bland, stinky, mushy oatmeal. "It's good for you" they say. Fine, then cram three buckets of it down your pie hole and see how good you feel afterwards. Oatmeal is stupid when it exists outside of a cookie with some raisins in it. Check it's I.Q. if you don't believe me. Stupid is as oatmeal does.
"Quit smoking, eat right, exercise and you could live to maybe be eighty". Right, have you ever seen really old people? They don't look happy to me. besides I could get myself on the so-called straight and narrow today and get hit by a bus tomorrow morning. Besides, it's all about control.
And jealousy, let's never forget that angle. Rant complete.
With Liberty,
Dan Steward
