B-bye Twinkie the Kid, Hello Ding Hao, revolutionary Student leader

What's the problem?

If people change their eating habits in response to an obesity epidemic, I'm all in favor of it.

Who pays for all the diabetes treatments, heart disease, joint replacements, and other obesity-related health problems? Me and my taxes, that's who. And the two of us are not happy.

Whatever small benefit we get from the taxes on those jobs is dwarfed by the massive costs to society of treating the illnesses their products cause. And those 18,000 workers will get jobs working somewhere else.

The folks that have stopped eating Hostess products have not stopped eating altogether. They are eating healthier products from some other companies. And those other companies are now growing and hiring. So, Hostess's loss is somebody else's gain.

I can't wait until we develop nice, clean, fusion energy and put all of our coal miners out of work. The coal miners might be out of work, but the fusion energy companies will pick up the slack and hire workers to offset some of the displaced workers and give us clean energy to boot.

And since Michelle Obama doesn't actually have any power, how does she exercise tyranny over school lunches? By pointing out that school diets are bad? That's just stating the obvious. Originally Posted by ExNYer

Of course it makes sense to start eating Little Debbie. Where else, now, can you find nutrition free goodness?

As a child, I used to scarf up Twinkies by the handful.

With time, I came to understand, that these things are only very unhealthy sugar rushes that provide no real nourishment to the body.

I've gone for 20 years without a Twinkies and won't notice when they're gone. We can come with many and much better alternatives..

Everything comes at a cost. If we all eat healthier or are forced to eat healthier then candy companies and pastry makers go out of business. If we all start carrying a reusable shopping bag then the people who make those bags suffer. There is always a cost and that is something liberals can never understand. Their thinking is always static and not dynamic. These are not just random companies Skylar, they are local companies for us. We know some of the people are now out of work.


Actually Trumpka is blaming this on Romney. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1112/83979.html
