Wife's and my B-days, NYE's mostly.

I am trying to get a pro card in natural bodybuilding. Everyday I move forward and I understand it's not the norm for everyone else.

edit: I take that back, next year at SDCC 2011

I've seen your pics and you look great. I think it's great that you are natural. I'm not calling for everyone to be fat ***** and I'm not saying that fast food is healthy. My point is that we should all be responsible for our own actions and it's not the governments place to mother us. Knowing how hard you train and once in a blue moon you let yourself go and enjoy something decadent. How would you feel if the government told you couldn't have that because it wasn't good for you. As far as marijuana goes. SOD got me. I'm not a proponent of drug use. Maybe if drugs affected his/her(sorry I don't know) family like it did mine, they would think differently. So if that makes me a hypocrite then so be it.

I understand putting a lock down on things is not the right choice and everyone doesn't like to be locked down in any situation.

On the other hand though, not everyone eats moderately and the ratio just grows and grows and grows of obese people in the world.

I just don't want to live in a world like this....

Maybe in the year 2098, they'll have something like a moderating wrist watch to check if you are capable of stepping into a McDonald's, Taco Bell, Wendy's, Hardess's or Long John Silvers

Meh, I'm secure enough in my own masculinity to tell another guy that he looks dreamy.(that winks just for you)

Maybe in the year 2098 it will be like Logans Run and we will be put to death once we reach a certain age to deal with over population. Be careful of what you wish for, it may come true.

That will never happen. You're blowing this way out of proportion.

That's why Wall-E is my favorite Pixar movie. Not just because of the statements about lifestyle, but also the stuff about mindless consumerism.

I'm not terming happy meals as a vice. I'm talking about smoking or drinking. As far as wanting my kids to eat like crap. I'm not one of the stupid parents you were referring to in your original post. I realize that an active teenager who eats healthy most of the time will suffer no ill effects from an occasional fast food meal. I have 2 kids and 2 step kids. My 2 are involved in indoor and outdoor color guard through probably 2/3rds of the year. My step daughter is on a competetive cheerleading squad and the other step daughter is a book worm who is rail thin.

That's all well and good and personal accountability is good but the majority of this country is just not accountable personally or otherwise.

The original article that led to this current debate only said "Meals must contains fruits and vegetables and must not exceed 600 calories and must not have beverages that have excessive fat or sugar." So again I ask how is this so bad?

We can't use the excuss of "government intervention" because over the last 20 to 30 years we have been decressing government regulations and, well, look at the state of the country right now. So obviously that doesn't work either, when people are left to their own devices bad things seem to happen.

Obviously you and I disagree on a lot of things, and that's fine, that's one of the tenants of this country's indentity. But on the subject of Marijuana, while you have seen drugs do something bad for your family, I've seen it help my uncle who eventually died from AIDS but while he was still here marijuana helped greatly. He could finally eat and sleep and wasn't in as much pain or as sick as he was when he was pumped full of all that manufactured "medicine". So you see two sides and all.

Don't worry they will go after the other chains soon, McDonalds is first because they are the biggest. Once they get McDonalds everyone else will be that much easier.

I still don't think it's a big deal, most parents are too stupid to leave the choices up to them (they will always pick the non-healthy meal because that's what they would want, or they think obesity and the health problems that come with it are a myth perpetrated by the liberal media) so they'll have it made for them.

Other things from Tobacco to Alcohol are regulated by the government how would completely unhealthy food be any different? I fail to see where regulation on something totally damaging to your health is not regulated when everything else that is damaging to you health is (it's not like they are telling adults that they can't kill themselves with bad food). Please explain.........

Then the only thing that will be in your grocery stores is organic vegetables, free range meat, etc. because you can find something wrong with just about everything.

Until the government doesn't allow welfare people to buy junk food with their food stamps, then I say don't tell me what I can buy with the money I work for.

But they're not telling you what to eat, you're an adult and you can eat what you want.

Where these kids getting money for Happy Meals? My parents never bought me a Happy Meal when I was younger. I never ate McDonalds until I was able to bike there myself.

But I'm glad CA is doing something about Happy Meals! No worries on immigration, their deficit or their finical situation. It's good to know that a few people in a Government offices know how to run other people's lives better than they do themselves. No wonder why people are leaving CA and NY at record levels and going to states like North Carolina, Florida, Texas just to name a few....

But they're trying, in a very stupid way, to tell me what I can feed my kids, or what McDonald's can feed my kids. They have no business doing that. Are they going to start IDing people so no one under a certain age can go into 7-11 and buy a candy bar?

btw.......most Happy Meals are already under 600 calories. Basically, keep the cheese off the hamburgers and they aren't bad.

I believe in NYC they've made restaurants stop using certain types of salt and grease...

We'll soon all see what happens when Government starts getting into your daily lives! I hope everyone enjoys it!

so are you against schools being forced to serve nutritional food during lunch instead of the sponsored crap they shell out now? I mean that is still something other than yourself telling you what your kids should eat.

dude if making Happy Meals be nutritious makes people leave California then this needs to become a state wide law........please leave so that the cost of living will drop.
