An Obese society and the "fat" tax

Face it, people in societies are sheep.

These idiots think you can outlaw guns and guns will cease to exist in spite of the evidence to the contrary, evidence like Israel under British occupation, evidence like the war on drugs. Where there is a demand there will be a supply. Period.

Morons think SSI is solvent, what a joke.

The truth is most people are just going to do what is easiest for them to do. If we made the world safer people wouldn't want firearms, even nations wouldn't need firearms. If we stopped treating people like crap there would be fewer addicts and the war on drugs would end because people would not need the escape that drugs and alcohol provide.

I believe we need to start taxing high fat, high carbohydrate foods.

There are studies that show meals with 30% protein, 40% carbs and 30% fat are better for people.

Tax foods with more fat than protein.

Tax foods that are all carbs.

Sure, some foods like butter (all fat) or sugar (all carbs) are going to sell and we have to make a provision for that. Basic foods.

Prepared foods, mixes, etc, crap made and advertised by manufacturers needs to be taxed unless the foods have about the same or more protein than fat and don't have more than 125% of carbs compared to protein.

This way people have an easy time buying decent foods.

Suing food makers for advertising a study you don't like is dumb, and a waste of money.

Passing a law that taxes foods that are bad for people is a much better way to do things, and that tax has to paid by the manufacturers.

Sure, they will pass the cost to the consumer and the consumer will stop buying crap so the manufacturer will start putting out foods that have content that is not taxed.

Simple, but because Congress is owned by these big businesses that are stuffing people full of crap it will never happen.

How to tell total crap when you read it.

Somethings are really easy to research and prove, the support of slavery by the Democrats in the United States and the resulting racial genocide.

Many of Andrew Jackson's (D) speech's are published on line, his biography is published on line so his history as a slave trader (not just an owner) is well known. It is very simple to research the facts that Andrew Jackson claimed he was too stubborn to allow slavery to end during his presidency, that he used a donkey symbol to emphasize his stubbornness and that the Democrats still use this slavery supporting, genocidal symbol in politics today. Anyone with half a brain can easily research the genocidal history of the Democrats in the United States.

Few do, the sheep just follow their Judas goats to the slaughter.

What about more difficult issues?

I am a big believer in high protein diets. I believe a diet of 50% protein, 25% carbs and 25% fat is best for our nutritional needs.

Can I prove that? Not conclusively.

In 2003 Mary C Gannon wrote a research paper establishing that high protein diets were good for people with diabetes. Her diet had 30% protein, 40% carbs and 30% fat. Do a search on "Mary C Gannon" you will be impressed. The Joslin Diabetes center at Harvard changed their diet recommendations to a high protein diet, 30% protein, 40% carbs, 30% fat after this report was published.

This is a well done report. The most important thing in the report is the bibliography. That list of stuff at the end that tells you where the writer got their information.

Here are my rules of thumb for determining crap.

Is there a bibliography?

If yes, review the people and articles the bibliography cites. Wikipedia articles have crap bibliographies most of the time.

Do a search on the paper title and/or author to determine if these papers are peer accepted. If the paper is peer accepted it will be referenced in other papers by other authors.

Now look at this article on an Australian government website.

http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcarticles.nsf/pages/Protein?OpenDocument

No bibliography. No references. A bunch of rules with nothing to back it up. The "anti-high protein" crowd is like this, their Dogma needs no evidence anymore than a genocidal political party needs to prove they represent minorities best.

If you believe crap without researching it and you are defending your beliefs with "that was a long time ago" or "everyone knows that" you are a sheep.

Now here is a reprint of some letters published in a journal.

http://ndt.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/20/3/657

Letters? Yep, look at the bibliography after the letter. Very kewl. Read down to the next page. Read the response. Read the bibliography of the response.

Ahhhh, so the research indicating that high protein diets are dangerous are based on research on the effects of high protein diets where renal problems exist and not in healthy people.

So someone reads a paper where high protein diets increase kidney problems in people with kidney problems and they make the "intuitive" leap that high protein diets suck.

This becomes medical Dogma that Johns Hopkins still spouts without any real supporting evidence.

Anyone hear the sheep baaaing?

Recap.

Unless the research is brain dead simple to preform if there is no bibliography the information is crap.

If the bibliography is crap the information is crap.

If the paper is not being cited by other researchers, or the researcher is not cited the information is crap until it is peer reviewed and accepted.

Dogma like "high protein diets are bad" or "Democrats help the downtrodden" is fodder for sheep and nothing more.

Another half-hearted appology for slavery

The Democrats constantly refuse to accept responsibility for their genocidal past, prefering to re-write history by pretending everyone is guilty for the institution of slavery.

When NAZI Germany was beaten the political party that caused the genocide of Jews in Europe was disbanded. NAZI symbols have become repugnent.

In the United States the Pro-Slavery political symbol of the most genocidal President,Democrat Andrew Jackson, is ignored.

Jackson promised his Democratic supporters that he was as stuborn as a mule and Slavery would continue under his leadership.

This genocidal icon of the Democrats is on the $20 bill and his pro-slavery donkey symbol is used to represent the political party of oppression.

Democrats dress up blacks to serve todayin politics the same way they dressed up slaves in Confederate grey. Just because Andrew Jackson was 1/4 black, just because a black person fights under the stars and bars of the Confederate Battle Flag, just because a black person serves as a member of the genocidal political party does not mean the genocide of Africans in the United States should go unanswered.

The Leadership of the Democratic party should appoligize for the political support of the genocide of blacks in the United States.

Having trouble losing weight, try Phosphatidyl Serine

When my son died back at the end of 1999 I put on about 70 pounds. Back in 2005 I started really trying to lose the weight. I kept my diet under 2700 calories (Mayo Clinic has a calorie calculator website that recommends 2700 calories to maintain weight at 215, I figure the Mayo clinic knows their business). I worked out 3 times a week for 30 minutes or more (weight training).

I did not lose a pound.

I have kept my diet under 2700 calories for the last 4 years, even going under 2000 calories for a couple of months.

I did not lose a pound.

My first longer (10 days) back packing trip I lost about 30 pounds (235 to 205). In basic training I went from 230 to 200 in less than 8 weeks. When I got out of the Army I put on 20 pounds and then 3 months later I lost it all in a month. For over twenty years I weight 215 plus or minus about 5 pounds.

Never had a problem losing weight before.

It has been really frustrating.

I started taking 600mg a day of Phosphatidyl Serine, 300 in the morning and 300 before I went to bed, about a week ago. I also use gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA), but I have been using that to help me sleep for months without losing any weight.

I lost 7 pounds in the last week.

Phosphatidyl Serine lowers cortisol levels and improves brain functioning.

I have only been on the stuff for a week so we will see how it works out, but, 7lbs is more than I lost with diet and weight training combined over a year.

I stick pretty close to the South Beach diet, I count calories and I watch fat (and now sugar) content. I didn't lose much of anything.

If you have a problem losing weight, try taking 600mg of Phosphatidyl Serine a day for a while and see what that does for you.

I suggest buying it at bodybuilding.com, they have the best prices I have found. If you have better, let me know.

People who bought reasonable cars are screwed under CARS

CARS, or the Car Allowance Rebate System is an Obamanomics joke designed to help people making far more than the average US citizen.

www.cars.gov

I have two older cars that I am driving, a 1992 and a 1993. Neither qualify under the CARS, both get (according to http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/sbs.htm) get about 20 miles per gallon.

Instead of buying a huge piece of crap like an Expedition I purchased reasonable cars with decent gas mileage.

Who benefits from this program?

Morons who purchased expensive, gas guzzling SUVs, Trucks and Giant Sized cars.

What kind of cars does the middle class buy? Reasonably priced mid sized cars.

Sure, a lot of families own minivans. The most popular car in the United States in the Toyota Camry. The most popular style of car is the mid sized sedan.

So the majority is screwed while the minority who invested in mini-vans, SUVs and Trucks are rewarded.

Reward the wasteful.

Screw the responsible.

Welcome to Obamanomics.
