7 Dodgy Food Practices Banned in Europe But Just Fine Here
http://www.saltmatters.org/site/index.php?page=european-labels
[Too bad Democraps thought throwing $250bn in subsidies at good
Christian family farmers like ADM and Monsanto was more important than
requiring accurate and informative labels on the poison they sell.
Progress!]
Oddly enough, I haven't noticed Republicans addressing that. Maybe they
don't care for the idea of telling folks that milk's gonna be $10 a
gallon now...
Thank you for admitting that you support socialist subsidies. Actually,
this is not quite correct, since in socialism all enterprise is owned by
the STATE, and what you are advocating is subsidizing PRIVATE enterprise
with PUBLIC money, no different from the TARP bailout that transferred
one trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) in public money to corrupt
PRIVATE banks as a reward for their corruption. Progress! Praise
Senator Barack Hussein Obama (D-IL)!!!

I enjoy dairy products myself, and probably would consume less of them if
their prices were higher free-market prices. Milk/cheese/yogurt etc. are
yummy, but not particularly healthy for human beings (we are the only
species of mammal that continues to consume milk after infancy; every
other species seems to survive just fine without subsidized cow tit
secretions).

I also would drive less if the price of oil included the cost of
preventing or cleaning up the damage that burning it as fuel causes to
the environment. For some unfathomable reason, you believe the price of
MILK should be lower than the price of GASOLINE! Why? Did you eat too
many subsidized leaded paint chips as a child?

Oh, and I should also note that even without socialist subsidies, the
price of dairy products would be MUCH higher if leftists succeeded in
their various demands to outlaw toxic antibiotics and warehouse farming,
to prohibit the use of genetically-modified grains (produced by good
Christian family farmers like ADM and Monsanto) to feed and fatten
livestock, to mandate expensive psychological therapy for all cows headed
for slaughter, etc. Now the same leftists are suddenly concerned that
the price of toxic antibiotic-laden milk should rise!

As I see it, government price supports for milk are exactly the sort of
CORPORATE WELFARE that leftards usually fanatically oppose. Do you, as a
leftard yourself, oppose corporate welfare, or don't you care about
corporate welfare as long as it means cheap milk and cheese for you to
stuff your face with?

And before farting your knee-jerk response, remember that any reference
to Republicans, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Richard Nixon,
Adolf Hitler etc. does not constitute a valid answer. Either explain IN
YOUR OWN WORDS why you believe this particular corporate subsidy is
logical and ethical, or STFU.

Throw that straw! Most lefties oppose the use of antibiotics and
warehouse farming, but your favourite--indeed only--debate tactic is to
assign stances to others that you can easily knock down.

It's dishonest, and it makes you look like a fool.
