My kids both had kids, so is there a special concern you have about your children?

Yes they have a genetic defect because of it (causes no harm to them but it's there). My wife had it which made it through for us. Both my kids carry it as well. We had genetic counseling done because of the issues which is how we found out

Yes it is in excess and scientists were bought off to point the finger at other things. That caused a great health issue in this country that were still dealing with. Maybe we should work on getting on front of those issues instead of hoping our citizens become chemists or can figure out what red 40 actually is

I hold out no hopes that the citizenry will reach a greater understanding. I guess it’s for their own good that we ban it.

The problem is that, like many other problems, the corporations find a way to hack our diets by lobbying in Washington. If it weren't for subsidies, our food industry would be relatively normal and likely MUCH healthier. We subsidized the hell out of corn. Low and behold, corn ends up being used everywhere all the time for everything. It's in our gas, they feed it to the cows (unhealthy for them), they make super dense sugar poison and put it in every packaged item on the supermarket shelves. I understand blaming people for their choices, but when real food costs 10x as much as the sugary bulls**t in the boxes, it is really hard to blame people who choose to go that route. And once they're on that route, they're hooked. Sugar is like a drug. It hijacks your hormones and causes withdraw symptoms if you try to quit. It's a tough problem, and the corporate lobbyists are as much to blame as the consumers.

I like this part



Justice is priceless. That might catch on.

They'll find that justice has a severe price when everyone moves out of San Francisco, and they're left with nobody to steal from to make these ridiculous, exorbitant payments.

Edit: Oh. I see that this is California reparations, not the San Francisco reparations.

They don’t believe that will happen. I think they should do a full stress test.

Where exactly is the lunacy?

without looking, it is probably because in order for any of those things you mentioned to cause cancer or rectal bleeding one would have to eat the equivalent of their body weight six times/day.
Once again, the .gov is out of it's lane.

Sugar is harmful.

Give me the information and allow me to choose. We put “this will kill you” signs on cigarettes.

Other countries certainly ban all manner of activity they deem harmful to the public.

I have yet to visit any country where cigarettes are banned
