Speak Out 11/21/13

Live free or die

Well, folks, in another brilliant move by our wonderful, control everything, federal government, the FDA has now issued a ban against all trans fats. You know for the betterment of everyone's health. Well, here's something they probably are not remembering. In our not too distance past, there was a fat that wasn't considered a trans fat and believe it or not it's still available to the American public. Can anyone name what it is? It's called lard! L . . . A. . . R . . . D. You know that animal fat we get from rendering the fat out from assorted animals during meat processing. I wonder if the FDA is taken this wonderful step backwards or it's just the idea they intend to control every little facet of our lives due to the Affordable Care Act that they have to ban trans fats for the program to even start to save money. You know if you can eliminate even just a few heart aches that might save a few million dollars here and there you know. Well, I myself, being one who has always chosen personal responsibility of not eating a lot of processed food. I just wonder how far the government is going to control and micro-manage our lives. Well, it's your choice, folks. Time to let our government know that we, the people, are fed up with the micro-management. Live free or die, as they say. Frankly, I'd rather die than suffer under the government that's coming down the pike for all of us.
