4 More Foods the Government Should Ban
New York Mayor Bloomberg has decided that New Yorkers can’t be trusted to have access to soda served in anything larger than a 16 ounce cup. It’s clear that New Yorkers can’t be trusted in general, so this ban on soda is not so surprising. The New York City Council is now eyeing popcorn and coffee drinks for a possible ban, because hey, if you can ban one thing you can ban everything.
Bloomberg is not the first politician to ban food either. The FDA has been waging a vendetta against “fresh” food for years. Like raw milk and farm fresh eggs and small farm organic produce. The government has decided that unless it’s mass-produced at farms big enough to pay bribes hire a lobbyist, it’s not good for you.
Since we’re banning foods, I want to enter the discussion about what should be banned. I think I have some great ideas on that score. Here are 4 foods that should be banned. Are you listening Big Brother?!
I’m for banning all foodstuffs except for Lentils. That’s cause I grow ‘em. No matter they make you fart like a pack mule, they are really good for you, at least, people around here say that. We have a woman here who sells them ‘organic’, and has gotten rich doing it, though she really buys them from Wayne and me down at the warehouse, and me and Wayne still have big bank debts. She just puts them in an organic labelled package and sells them all over the world. People say they are tasteless, and they are, but we don’t mention it much. You can add Summer Sausage. If you ever get a chance stop in at our local Lentil Festival here, and I’ll buy you a juicy T-Bone Steak.
