Government will require all Americans by 2014 to have a Obesity Rating

It is a factor. Anything flash frozen tastes just fine. And again, much of the taste aspect comes with how you thaw it. Watch the episode of Good Eats called "Frozen Cache" and Alton Brown shows you exactly how to properly thaw (and freeze) foods that maximize their storage life and taste once you thaw them from frozen.

Is frozen the best option for taste? Of course not. But it's not nearly pig-slop, either, if frozen and thawed properly.

We live in a free country.


If a person wants to drink Crisco and snort bacon grease, more power to them. If they want to grow to 1300 pounds, I have no problem with that, either.
Don't expect me to have sympathy for you, and definately don't expect me to pay for care.

Now that we have opened the door and allowed the government into our healthcare, we should expect more and more of this bullshit.

When the government gets involved with anything, our freedoms go down the shitter.

If you have health insurance you're currently paying for that person's care. They spread the costs over as many people as they can.

I'm not making the argument that a government plan is better. I'm just saying that we're all currently tied together anyway.

I agree and I think it's wrong. If a person eats themselves to blue whale proportions, they need to take the responablility of paying for their fatass.


It will never happen, though. We live in an entitlement and blame everyone but ourself society.

This is exactly right. It's the fault of McDonald's that you had the double cheese and fries combo with an X-large Coke instead of making a salad at home and drinking tea or water.

It's the fault of the DVD player that you sat on your ass all day watching TV instead of going outside and taking a walk. Then again, that could be the fault of Global Warming!
