The gobermint subsidizes the dead flesh and cow secretions industry.

I will never forget when Oprah dissed beef for Mad Cow's disease. The Cattlemen's Association swooped in and she was on the air chowing down on a hamburger in no time. sad smiley I don't think the Mafia were ever as swift in getting somebody to do something...

Really? But I do know she made a big show of eating a hamburger after it happened. She seemed very scared of them.

*Edti: LOL, I went back to see if I could find Oprah eating that burger but it's amazing. She must have a full-time staff that removes any video from any of her shows because I couldn't find any video of her show with those search words.

I did find out about her winning that lawsuit. Yes, that tends to be the MO. Quietly dismiss a case after a firestorm:[www.cnn.com]

She was in court for Years over that! Feist woman, nobody tells Oprah what to say.

I guess maybe somebody does tell her what to say, she's been tight-lipped about it ever since. I do remember her leaving the court on the last day of that circus doing some triumphant fist pumping for the cameras though.

Here's a transcript of the original show

the court case details

what she had to say afterwards

[www.cnn.com]


I just found and still find the whole thing so interesting. Really, it was unusual at the time and had a profound impact, not so good in some cases. Freedoms for actual people eroded to create more for corporations. That's common these days though, we get the cow patty end of the stick if we're not real careful to protect ourselves.

Fast food is not necessarily cheaper than real food. I am talking about a whole meal here. Of course an apple is cheaper than a hamburger.

Healthy eating can be accomplished. We opened a Greek Gyro Restaurant, and meat and salads are available.

Or a $5 gyro with tomatoes, onions and sauce can be had. All we need is a protein a vegetable and a little fat (their sauce)

Super sleuthing about finding the cheapest food was my forte' people could always find me where healthy good food was found for less.

One more thing. Peruse the papers to look for things on sale. Eat according to what you find on sale. It works!!

Simply question of economics. Supply and demand.
There are fixed costs to any production and the cost per unit goes down as more people buy. Then the manufacturer can afford to reduce the price.
A veggie burger is probably healthier than a hamburger but not many people want it.

John, you are just the type of a man who would fall for my ideas...please watch this video to the end (maybe watch it 2-3 times). I would like to hear your opinion. I am already convinced...but that is just me. Be careful. This may change your life.

Isn't that what they told you when you started eating raw food, mr. 'commonsenseraw'? . I have posted a link, it is about an different view of our nature, just like raw food is different from what they taught us. I am not forcing my view on anyone nor do I want to discuss (this site is not about astronomy and conspiracy, at least not yet smiling smiley ). So, please, no insults.

I watched this video before.
It is all full of nonsense.
One of them from the author is why don't we fall if we believe the earth is revolving around itself. That is 3rd grade science.
The images of earth from satellite far in space shows a round earth.
All planets are spherical why would the earth be different.
I am not insulting you. But if you believe that then there is a problem.

See, I am not insulting you, but I believe oposite. What I believe is obvious, what you belive is from some other sources, that you trust. But, let's stop here, before the moderator blocks to topic.

If you believe the earth is flat where does it ends when walk a straight line.
On a spherical earth you come back to the same place.
That is not others beliefs it is common sense.
