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
I don't always live the healthiest lifestyle - it is not even 10:30 am and I've already drank two coffees and a cup of black tea, and have taken an early elevensies in the form of a very processed sliced of chocolate cake. I'll frequently skip exercising if I am ill, tired, or the weather/time is inconvenient. Despite that, honestly I'm impressed by the dedication, money and perseverence people are able to put into being fat, I honestly couldn't do it.

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.

I wonder how much of the food stamp soda thing is political. coca cola loves to fund the lefty candidates and 40% of their revenue is from sugary drinks, like $6 billion

time to dump the KO stock, shareholders don't care who the president is

Trumps cabinet is like a voltron hitler.

JFK is the vegetarian non smoker part of him.

When I’m telling myself before my run that I only got 3 hours of sleep, have been having sudden liquid shits all day, and legs are still kinda sore from yesterday’s run

But when you can’t lie to yourself, it goes like:

Judge NopeNopeNopeNope: Based on these circumstances, I will propose a postpone until tomorrow, unless you feel you can proceed?
