Wow! Taxing meat would literally ensure crappy health among the poorer population.

Now us lowcarbers know what it feels like when we say, "Sugar Tax!" It stings.
Just say NO to these kind of ideas on both sides of the fence. PS, there is no fence. The only fence is a closed mind. |
When the Zombie Apocalypse is here, can we just feed them Tam Fry's brain first? It won't buy the rest of us much time, but at least some good would come of a bad situation.

While I agree that processed foods and bacon as made commercially is a real health problem, there are a few rare commercial companies leaving out the nitrates. Hence frozen bacon. There are a number of good sausages, bacons etc that are well made, just hard to find. Maybe it is the processing method that needs to be regulated.
They should go after a sugar tax first!! |

My sentiments exactly. Freedom of choice is the way for all and the only way to enable informed purchase decisions when accurate health information is readily available. |
Grrrrr, this is exactly why giving large gov't entities control over healthcare (i.e. expecting large gov't entities to pay for healthcare) is a bad idea.
It creates two issues: 1. The individual has no inclination to reduce costs because (they think) they aren't paying. "My Type 2 diabetes isn't a big deal. I just take a pill and it's covered. Besides that, surely my doctor would tell me if there was a better way." 2. Since the large gov't entity is paying and since the gov't entity can't afford to provide healthcare to the large numbers of people who think as above they must begin to dictate decisions around healthcare with an eye towards money NOT towards actually providing good healthcare. This control will include taxes, non-payment for care that is not in line with their dictates, large amounts of bureaucratic blah blah to go thru to receive care, etc. In this case, the people spouting this drivel also think they're saving the planet. Grrrrr. |

Please. Like nobody's aware of this claim. People are not only used to this idea, a lot of us are fed up with it. |
