farms should collapse, so communis.... communities can make smaller local farmers markets everywhere.

It's a question of who pays for it. Other people shouldn't pay for your rice crispie treats. They aren't outlawing junk food.

It's irrelevant who pays for it as long as the farm gets the subsidy.

Jesus man I know that but your posts are always riddles. I'm like "junk food is fine if you buy it yourself" and you're like "farm subsidies". What?

The fatties are the only ones who can eat enough cake to support excess farm output in peacetime.

The bigger problem here (pun intended) is the shit that's allowed to go into your food in the first place versus Europe/rest of the world.

Yeah the discrepancy between US and EU policy on a variety of topics should raise way more eyebrows than it seems to.

At the same time I do fear that "maha" is straying dangerously close to cat lady healing crystal bullshit, and unscrupulous actors smell it a mile away.

Like I love you megyn kelly, you are impossibly hot for a 50 something, but please don't take that bait.

It’s a ban on just candy and soda. What will that accomplish though? It takes literally like 10 seconds to walk over from the junk food isle to the baked goods isle and grab a few boxes of cookies (which aren’t banned) and then another 10 seconds to walk over to the sports drink isle and get a Powerade instead of a soda (still loaded with sugar)

Person buying them (with food stamps) still ends up just as fat and diabetic. So what did the ban accomplish? It wasn’t even an inconvenience to switch

Now if they banned all candy, ice cream, chips, baked goods, sports drinks, soda, AND juice, all at once. Well now the average fat person on food stamps might go “uh oh, what can I snack on now?” and it might actually become a problem for their bad habit

But just a ban on soda and candy alone seems like a literal waste of time to me. It’s like banning one flavor of ice cream, or just banning Kit Kat bars. It was a waste of of the paper to print it, and a waste of time to read it. It will accomplish nothing
