Of course, not. There should be state-approved reasons for going out. Alternatively, each time we go out, we should be sent a text message warning: "Leaving the House May Result in Death, Illness or Injury in X% of persons leaving houses daily." That way, people can make an informed decision.

And, if you do go out and want to go to a restaurant, the amount you order should be controlled. Utah has it right - they have state regulations on how much alcohol can be used to make an Old Fashioned. One shot of whiskey, and that's it. No doubles. Two drink maximum, since that's the most doctors will recommend in a day. And, portion size should be strictly controlled, so restaurants don't serve large meals - 500 calorie dinner, and each meal must have vegetables and fruit included. And, of course, drink sizes should be controlled - and six ounces of soft drink only. We shouldn't glorify eating like we do in this country, so restaurants should be olive drab, like a mess tent, and tables should not be set to be "elegant" or "fancy." Benches and green trays will do. That way, people will view food for what it is, energy for their bodies, and not some thing to be enjoyed - that will help limit excessive intake of foods and liquids.

Going to the 7-Eleven, all drinks should be in drab green or brown cans or bottles, and no competition for the best "Monster" drink with bright colors and snappy marketing. It's thirst quenching only, so each 6 ounce can should be simply labeled informatively. No more "Coca Cola" urging people to buy them because of a century of marketing ploys, no. A beige can that says "Carbonated Sucrose/fructose Drink" (and then clearly label the rest of the ingredients, next to the warning "This Drink Makes You Die a Horrible Death, Sometimes, Eventually."
The thick edge of that wedge is pretty thick.. :coffee:
Which part do you oppose? the plain olive and brown drink cans? The plain restaurant features? Or, the strict regulation of alcohol in an Old Fashioned? Or, the strict regulation of permissible number of drinks in a sitting? Which part of the wedge is too thick there and why?

I think there should be warning on Ozzie Fairy Bread and Golden Gaytimes. And, don't get me started on sausage sizzles and Solo.

Smokers realise it. I do. I'm pretty sure you do as well. But 12 and 14 year olds are still taken in by the proverbial Marlboro man, the allure of a particular brand in a particular colour in a hand of someone you wish to emulate, even if that someone turns out to be a fantasy on an advertisement board. Yep, that's how I started smoking, and I know there are plenty of others who got sucked in the same way.

Renee Zellweger is not Renee Zellweger anymore.
Correction: 48 year old Renée Zellweger is no longer the 28 year old Renée Zellweger she was a couple of decades ago.

Who is Renée Zellweger? Heard the name.

Had to look her up in Wiki.

I loved them. I was not addicted but the taste with strong black espresso coffee was a flight of fantasy to any street cafe in Paris.

Well, what I meant was that after her plastic surgery, she no longer resembles her former self. She did an "Jennifer Grey." On paper she looks better, but for some reason in actuality she doesn't.

Bacon advertising should be stopped, and packaging should be plain, brown wrappers with images of cancerous colons on them.
