Recently I've seen a big rush by our government branch's to get everyone on board to be vegetarians, take classes to stop smoking, lose weight and fit into a certain body type. And you know to get the good health insurance as opposed to the crappy stuff, you have to take the classes and be real rah-rah about it, you know kinda like an Am way meeting. Now I'm all for being healthy and I think that a person should be on top of their health, but it's their health and can't be legislated. Although it seems like in the 21st century it will be regulated by a committee in the long run. From my point of view it kinda seems like the start of a Eugenics program.
Here are some other views that match these new societal pressures:
if you hate smoking but support legalizing Marijuana then you are a hypocrite or maybe it's the DOPE talking. If you don't like going into smoking bars don't go into one, that's your choice and it should be the person who smokes choice to smoke. Also what kind of moronic person takes away someones rights in order to feel superior and/or make a point about how to be healthy like them...who the frack cares about how an oppressor thinks? It's NOT about you!
Those of us who's lifestyle is mainly vegetarian but enjoy a thick juicy steak now and then don't want the government do-gooders telling us about what is considered by some to be 'bad habits'. I work hard, pay my bills and my taxes so I don't want some bafoon that's appointed as a 'health Czar' to tell me I don't meet some height/weight chart or BMI, Body Mass Index, that's posted on their wall in their office. Call me crazy but that's the last thing I want my tax dollars wasted on.
Yep, there are lots of hot buttons in our country now but legislating health has never worked and it never will because frankly, no one cares what the government thinks about them. People only want friends to be there for them period. Realistically humanitarians look at the content and not the package, make since? So put away the stick and pick up the yolk and lets get busy getting the adventure of life together.
If I pass you on the road stop at Peets, because your buying.
PS, just a thought. If big fish eats a little fish and we are still fish eaters then when animals who eat vegetarian and we eat them why are we not vegetarians?
