A large part is the real preventative measures are really in our culture's grasp and not in the hands of any politician or special interest group. Have you seen what school lunches look like under the healthy lunches initiative of the Obama administation? A small piece of the most artificial tasting pizza in the world, some carrots, and maybe a dab of a side or a browning piece of fruit. Compare this to what the other lunches around the world look like. Same calories, better nutrition, and far more appealing. Like most things, Americans are willing to jump for the lowest bidder. The Obamas' "teach kids to eat healthy" campaign completely ignores the fact that the children don't prepare the meals at home or choose which foods they're surrounded by. It's like lamenting the lack of a gym class. Running a few laps then going out to be picked last for Basketball doesn't push them towards a healthier lifestyle as an adult. The Oesity epidemic isn't something we warn about in the future... it is something that WE WERE warned about, and is already here! The detrimental health affects for people aged 10-35 who are morbidly obese are actually pretty rare, and usually have a genetic disposition for them. It's beyond that age that the piper comes for his pay. The people who need to lose weight are the people who are 35+ and sporting a gut. They're the ones driving the health system to ruins. Try telling a fat 62 year old to lose weight. You'll never get anything from them. ninjoatse.cx fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Jun 29, 2016 |

I miss George W. All he did was enact regressive policy bassed on sky fairies and start wars.

The judge sounded pretty naive. He talked about processes but he didn't seem to realize is that the "process" is people. He'd make an excellent goon.

life is a joke posted:Ya goony is a good way to put it, I like his approach in theory but not as helpful in municipal court. There are plenty of places to get philosophical with a law background, and it's not in a situation where it's got you weighing the implications of waiving a fine for a homeless guy's 2012 open container citation. I didn't laugh, because subjecting people to a system completely stacked against them because it's so arcane it requires multiple years of graduate school to understand is actually quite horrific and fundamentally unjust.

I thought it would be bigger, like a true maze. You can walk out of that thing. Also, the final episode actually made me  since I could find a way to relieve my anger at Jon.

bad day posted:I listen to NPR in the car and like to play a game where I see how long it takes them to shoehorn some minority or immigrant group into a story where they don't belong. I swear they'd do a story on bees and it'd be about a Muslim Somali refugee family raising bees in Brooklyn, which they'd connect back to the travel ban. HOW DARE YOU SAY IT DOESN'T BELONG [/FakeOutrage] Listening to the podcast, a huge portion of these stories are someone making things much more difficult than they need to be because of some cultural hang up, or just plain being a fish out of water who doesn't know how to navigate their situation.

bad day posted:See, this is stupid because that's not what I'm saying. This is a format they use because it tests well with their base demographic. It's just another example of how marketing techniques have leaked into news content. I could care less about where people are from I just think it's lame to have such an obvious moral agenda and try to pretend it doesn't exist. I think part of it is they were investigating their 20,000 story about news topic of the day and then they actually found a story that broke out of the norm. Still beats the mould of, "I was talking to this person I go to temple with, and you would not believe what is going on in their family!"

Invalid Validation posted:Totally and he didn't give one poo poo about taking a school bus worth of junk and trying to build a house with it. He probably stole a lot more before and after johnny bs death. Definitely. I let out a WTF when he said he took John's vehicles. What the hell are you going to do with vehicles registered to someone else, Tyler?! Forge the deed and sell them, apparently.
