Animals and 6-Month-Old Infants Are Getting Fatter …
Just this morning I heard a doctor on the radio say that they've found an average of 200 industrial chemicals in umbilical cord blood tested. So much for "real" conservatives who love little babies and industrial chemicals too.

Is it worse the hot dogs or bologna? Has anyone ever died from eating it? If we stop using it here could it help feed the third world? Is it more or less nutritious then regular beef?

Stone, you are making too much sense here for him to possibly comprehend.

I think what most object to is the lack of truth in advertising. Ground round or chuck is certainly not chopped lips, dicks and eyeballs.

But we have no idea what the pay out's going to be.
"Now, health insurance is a strange proposition to start with, because everyone dies, and nobody dies healthy, so most people require medical treatment at some point. (A few people spontaneously combust, I suppose. They are still none too healthy during the few seconds before they die, but that's not long enough for them to avail themselves of medical attention. But that's a very rare case.) The point is, if all houses burned down at some point, there would be no fire insurance, and if all houses flooded at some point, there would be no flood insurance. But everyone dies, and yet there is health insurance. How is that?"
"I wanted to know the adjusted price beforehand, but I was told that they do not give out this information. The adjustments are generated by an inscrutable computer program, which determines the numbers on the spur of the moment based on a set of formulas. Now, normally I don't do business with companies that refuse to quote a price before I place the order. That's where the tax penalty is most helpful to them: it leaves me no choice but do business with, and get robbed by, this company."
We're going top get Single Payer Medicare/VA. The question is how bad the USSA's Empire's doin' when it happens.
The more you process by definition, it's less 'nutritious'.
The higher on the Food Chain, the more toxic the product.
Yep. Everywhere air, steel, hands, even gloves contact meat, there is potential for all sorts of contamination.

The Tuareg taking over an area twice the size of France.
"We can hear heavy fire coming in the direction of the main military camp," a Reuters reporter said.
"People here are running all over the place and all the shops are closing."
Mahamane Diakite, an aide to the governor of Gao, told AFP: "We can hear heavy weapons fire. We have also seen two helicopters taking off to shoot. Rebels have entered the town."
In the afghans:
"A member of a U.S.-backed Afghan village police force has killed nine of his fellow officers as they slept in a volatile eastern area, officials said. The Taliban claimed responsibility.
The gunman opened fire with his assault rifle after waking up at 3 a.m. on Friday, ostensibly to take over guard duty at a small command post for the Afghan Local Police in Paktika province. He killed everybody inside, including the post's commander, according to officials. He then took their weapons, piled them in a pickup truck and sped away.
These people are getting away. All of them. There is no collateral damage for the Taliban. And that is the deadliest formula for the USSA.
"Another ALP member was accused of involvement in the killing of nine members of his unit in March in southern Uruzgan province. They also were shot and killed while asleep at their post in the village of Oshi in the province's Charchino district. It remains unclear if he killed them or allowed a killer into the post, but he was never apprehended."

Mali's government forces have struggled to drive back the rebels. Mid-ranking officers in the military overthrew the government this month, saying the army needed more equipment to fight.
And you can bet BPA's all over/in your meat product:
Published on Friday, March 30, 2012 by Common Dreams FDA Keeps BPA in Food, Fails Public Health Again 'FDA should remove "responsible for protecting the public health" from its mission statement' - Common Dreams staff
Today the Food and Drug Administration has announced that it will not take steps to bar bisphenol-A, or BPA, a known toxic chemical, from canned food and liquid infant formula containers.
Studies show that BPA leaches from epoxy linings of cans into food and drink, and resurfaces in breast milk, saliva, urine, amniotic fluid and umbilical cord blood; the contamination is linked to many health problems including birth defects.
And speaking of someone not giving a rat's ass about feeding the Third World....
My responsibility is to feed my family, not the third world.
If the people in the third world want to eat, they should overthrow their socialist dictators and go to work.

And that's exactly right but I was talking about Toxic accumulation in the Fats.
The problem for Corporations is that they've gone as far as they can.
The fewest workers, the most chemicals, the biggest machines, the longest transport, the most captive gov't.
And all the infrastructure designed to run on $20 the BBL fuel.
We're going back to local and Corporations will be left high and dry.
I think they still have lots of wiggle room. The cheapest way for manufacturers to dispose of toxins is to get something to eat it. Whether eukaryote or prokaryote.

There comes a time in every wo/man's life when a decision has to be made.
Do I live on my knees or die on my feet.
Congress has a <10% approval rating.
They don't even do polls on the approval of SCOTUS.
The Dems got zero for their asquiescence in the overthrow of Democracy December 14, 2000.
When the Gov't no longer represents the view of the people
(See the COG/State of Emergency, Patriot Act, and Citizen's United 'case' for details;)
the people have the right to overthrow that gov't.
just for shites and giggles I googled:
Deficit Reduction and Economic Recovery. The following is an ex of the pp of bulls**t that I got back:
The Unnecessary Pivot From Economic Recovery to Deficit Reduction Posted Jun. 14, 2011 By Loren Adler and Shai Akabas James Kennedy contributed to this post. Less than three years ago, the U.S. financial system barely averted a catastrophic meltdown, and the nation was embroiled in a severe recession. Our economy was analogous to a car rolling backwards down a hill at an uncomfortably quick pace. Thankfully, America’s leaders were able to hit the brakes and stop the skid with policies that, while far from ideal, returned the economy to a forward gear.
Oftwominds, Charles H SMith:
We have all experienced the disorientation and "brain freeze" that stress triggers. It seems these symptoms of stress have become normalized in countries where the authorities keep promoting phony "economic recoveries." The disconnect between what the authorities are claiming and what people are actually experiencing is widening, and that leads to stress. No wonder more and more people are "losing it" in public as their neural circuitry melts down under the strain of synthesizing what they experience (austerity) and what they're told (official spin about the "recovery").

As for Obama, even if he were found to be an alien, his actions would not be null and void. See de facto officer.
Obama's a war criminal.
Just like bush43 before him.
Worse. Anyone saying they can kill anyone at anytime for any reason is Evil.

If we are to have universal health insurance,
the USSA will have to be mortally threatened.
Only then does the State attempt to gain the support of the Bottom 99%.

It is deliberately misnamed
Just like you never see the word 'insurance' in the same sentence with Credit Debt Swaps.
And that CDS' 'sole' purpose is implied to be insurance against default.
Insurance proclaims a contract between parties.
Health Insurance is a tax, enforced/collected by the state for the benefit of private corporations who will not tell you the cost of what you're purchasing until after....
Just one more criminal enterprise on Planet Hell.

O and Corporations, one way or another will be gone in 10 years.
Nah, they're like society's cockroach.
Only in that cockroach's can survive nuclear fallout.
Corporations can't survive the fall of the state.
10 years.

To vote for who.
If voting changed anything it would be made illegal.

Behaviorally, stress breaks down self-control, so it is no surprise that stress leads to bingeing, addictive behavior, impluse buying, etc.--all "knock-on" effects with negative consequences.
Chronic stress permanently degrades our ability to rationally analyze and plan, and so we act irrationally or erratically, as we are no longer able to stick to a conscious plan of coherent action. With the rational mind and self-control centers permanently suppressed, we are prone to "zombie" passivity, "sleepwalking" though life. This may help explain Americans' remarkable passivity as their civil liberties are taken away and their financial insecurity increases.
Many of the features of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are visible in "everyday Americans," and an understanding of how stress erodes rational thought and self-control helps explain why. -Charles H Smith

If the mandate and all of the Affordable Care Act gets flushed by SCOTUS, it may greatly energize the supporters of the Act to turn out at the polls in November. Such could contribute to the reelection of Obama, leading to Obama making several appointments to the Court, changing the balance of power at the Court. That’s one way to look at it.
Governor Romney has been the voice of reason in the Republican primaries, and has refused to turn his back on his core values or change his positions despite the scurrilous attacks from his opponents. Were he not running against a successful incumbent, I would have no hesitation in bestowing upon him my full endorsement.
Governor Romney’s excellent qualifications are, however, trumped by the superior record while in office of the incumbent, Barack Obama. Taking the presidential oath in the middle of the worst financial crisis since World War Two, Mr. Obama hit the ground running and was quickly able to restore the public’s confidence in the financial markets with his aggressive actions to curtail the shady dealings of Wall Street hucksters. Even before taking office, Mr. Obama signaled that he would not be representing business as usual by his staunch opposition to the Troubled Assets Relief Bill at the height of the 2008 campaign. Mr. Obama’s boldest move was unleashing the FBI and Department of Justice prosecutors on Wall Street, who then secured indictments against the big players who were most responsible for the rampant fraud that caused the housing bubble and the resulting crash in the financial markets.
So I wholeheartedly give my endorsement to Barrack Obama for the Re Election of the President of the United States.

And here's your problem du jour, jw.
You think poverty happens because the poor got to the gravy train station 10 minutes too late, when the actuality is that the poor are being held up at gunpoint daily.
The unemployment rate for those age 16 to 24 with bachelor's degrees stood at 8.1% in February, up from 4.6% four years earlier. Many others find themselves underemployed.
-CNN
The above is wrong. You don't get a bachelor's before age 21 for ex.
The frightening thing is that this is just the beginning. Things are going to get a lot worse in Greece. And in case you haven't been paying attention, these kinds of conditions are coming to the United States as well. We are heading down the exact same road as Greece went down, and the economic pain that this country is eventually going to suffer is going to be beyond anything that most Americans would dare to imagine.
we know weather is warmer and that human activity is the cause.
For global records, 2010 is the hottest year on record, tied with 2005.
The WMO, part of the United Nations, said the warmest 13 years of average global temperatures have all occurred in the 15 years since 1997. That has contributed to extreme weather conditions which increase the intensity of droughts and heavy precipitation across the world, it said.
"Global temperatures in 2011 are currently the tenth highest on record and are higher than any previous year with a La Nina event, which has a relative cooling influence," it said
Paul Michaelwaite from Netweather said: “As strange as it is to say this in March, it’s going to be a barbecue weekend.
“It’s pretty rare for it to be this warm, especially if you consider the average maximum temperature for March in the UK is just below 9C.”
"The Tuareg are a traditionally nomadic and pastoralist ethnic minority group of some 1.5 million people who seek to secede from the Malian republic and form an independent nation called Azawad; the group has traditionally existed in a territory scattered across the Sahel and Sahara countries largely operated by al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM)."
Do you want to see what a 21st century economic depression looks like? Just look at Greece. Once upon a time, the Greek economy was thriving, the Greek government was borrowing money like there was no tomorrow and Greek citizens were thoroughly enjoying the bubble of false prosperity that all that debt created. Those that warned that Greece was headed for a financial collapse were laughed at and were called "doom and gloomers". Well, nobody is laughing now.
" Two years later, fourth generation oysterman Nick Collins said there is nothing but dead shells in the Louisiana oyster beds that produced 60 to 80 sacks of oysters a day before the BP spill.
"Has anyone found a successful spring spat set on their leases yet?" asks Mississippi-based oyster expert Ed Cake. "Is there any evidence that the long-awaited oyster industry recovery has begun east of the (Mississippi) River or in the Barataria Bay area?"
Oyster spat are larvae that successfully attach to a solid substrate, usually other oyster shells on an oyster bar, and begin growing and forming shells.
Many Gulf residents think BP just wants to close the book on the disaster. That's unlikely to happen until the environmental bill is paid, and funds are set aside to restore Gulf ecosystem.
The herring fishery in Prince William Sound is only now beginning to recover, 22 year after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, and the oyster fishery in Mexico's Terminos Lagoon has not fully recovered 32 year after the 1979 Ixtoc-1 oil spill, says Cake.
If you knew that you could live in luxury for the rest of your life but that by doing so it would absolutely destroy the future for your children, your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren would you do it? Well, that is exactly what we are doing as a nation.
The ruling class and opinion leaders are dominated by linear thinkers that believe the world progresses in a straight line. Despite all evidence of history clearly moving through cycles that repeat every eighty to one hundred years (a long human life), the present generations are always surprised by these turnings in history. I can guarantee you this country will not truly experience an economic recovery or progress for another fifteen to twenty years.
And this fellow doesn't appreciate climate change and PO....;}
There is too much debt, too little cash-flow, too many promises, too many lies, too little common sense, too much mass delusion, too much corruption, too little trust, too much hate, too many weapons in the hands of too many crazies, and too few visionary leaders to not create an epic worldwide implosion. Too bad.
The linear thinkers will continue to predict a recovery that never arrives.
