She sure is. I wore her out last night. Do not make me wake her up again. If I do you will not be able to sleep.

Wow how old are you, like 12? Up until this point you were just insulting, but not really all that childish, but that comment, I don't even know what to say. Weren't you calling ME a troll earlier? Wow is all I have to say.

Polonium: Cancer-causing radioactive element

I don't know about you but that seems purposely harmful just for the sake of being harmful. Hell DDT is a banned substance and smokers inhale it regularly. Cyanide is pure poison, I don't know any other use for it really, and Formaldehyde really? Yeah you go on and keep trying to compare trans fats (which I think should be banned also) to these pure poisons.
Every time you turn around you hear of something else that "causes cancer". Many people avoid processed foods, but even natural foods are considered bad for you these days.

However, if I CHOOSE to eat processed foods, I should be permitted to do so.

You choosing to eat processed foods though doesn't have a negative effect on other people though.

Apparently it does--ask anyone who's around when I fart.

The good news is that I choose to keep to myself, so people aren't often subjected to them.

lol

Well farting is what people don't like, not the eating of processed foods, and because farting is a natural bodily function anyway it would be silly to outlaw that.

But the farting comes from the processed foods I eat--a direct result.

This is kinda a silly diversion from the main point of the thread but I'll continue on anyway. Farting would not go away if you stopped eating processed foods or if processed foods were banned, so banning these types of foods would be pointless. Also just for the sake of me wondering what do you consider processed foods? Is it anything that has something that isn't natural in it (all natural foods = the only unprocessed foods) or is it something that is created, meaning is homemade meatloaf or apple pie processed foods because there was a process to making them?

Red meat does nobody any good. It's bad for you in all circumstances.
I get SO sick of hearing people saying "Meat Is BAD"!!!

If taken in MODERATION, from healthy, grass-fed , NO CHEMICALS ADDED animals, it is QUITE healthy for you!! The human animal didn't evolve as a vegetarian, so a few bites of Bambi is a GOOD thing!! Personally I feel the ideal diet consists of ORGANIC veggies,fruits & meat from animals NOT fattened on grains, and NOT pumped full of antibiotics,steroids, etc.

Fish is out now, as the ocean is being poisoned.
