It seems to me that many of the protestors are just naive useful idiots who don't even know what they are saying. Now that the Union thugs, and the Socialist and Anarchist groups are getting involved they more or less sealed their fate.
You do know this thread is about OWS crowd and not Teabaggers,right?

They are not 100% effective.

But, you know that, don't you.

This is a complete myth! Junk food is much more expensive than good food. It's not cheaper than filet minot, arugala and anything you can buy at whole foods or trader joes... but good food, healthy food, is much MUCH cheaper than junk food!

when I feed my family of 4 to mcdonalds, we usualy get the dollar specials. Even doing that and not getting sodas we spend about $15 - $20 on food (tiny hamburgers do not a meal make). But when I make dinners at home, I can make a well rounded, healthy meal for a family of 6 for under $10.

Stop shopping at the expensive places and start shopping smart. I'm not even using coupons! LOL!

So your friends with cancer were lazy sacks who ate alot of garbage. Now regular Joes like me have to pay higher premiums because of their treatments and you champion them for beating cancer? What kind of Redn... Conservative are you?

laziness and lack of exercise makes a person fat.
Sure, eating one big mac a day and nothing else all day would eventually cause a person to lose weight. They're what, about 1,500 calories each?

Laziness and lack of exercise...you've never had chemotherapy, have you?
