If people prove themselves incapable of eating responsibly, there needs to be something to discourage them from doing so - something other than the knowledge that they're fucking themselves up, because clearly that just isn't enough. That said, we don't want to go removing choices completely, because if we do so then we will become dirty freedom-hating islamic communist liberal terrorists. Linking tax on food to a food's impact on health is possibly one of the fairer options.
See…here we already put higher taxes on higher calories items like candy and packaged food but then you have incongruities like Coca-cola with a 6% tax and canned tuna with a 21%
Food is just like any other business, the big fish never drown.
That's kinda why these healthy menus are futile. If you remove all the small time fatty foods, it makes no difference,because thebig corporations are the big sellers andpeople will just buy those instead. The only way to get people healthy is force or by convincing them. They have to be ok with it or they wont.Ticia wrote:

Yeah but they aint losing money from their unhealthy products really. My point is people eat what they want as long as it's available.Cybargs wrote:

Torresmo is much better. Its like Salo, but deep-fried. One of Portugal's cultural traits in Brazil, thanks Ticia.

So you take a wad of lard, put some breading around it and then fry it in more lard? Double the lard double the fun?EVieira wrote:

Here have todays special instead:
Partridge in phylo with cinammon and salad.
No breading, just pig skin and fat. Below the skin of the pig you have an inch or so of pure fat (aka, lard). Just slice up this part of the pig in chunk-sized slabs of skin and fat and deep-fry it. Preferbly in lard.JohnG@lt wrote:

There are a few regulations I support the imposition of like banning trans fats, but aside from that, I think owners should be free to make their own choices.

Are you 12? The likelihood of a woman being able to cook is only slightly higher than the likelihood of a man. Movies/TV != reality..Sup wrote:

yes I'm 12. Good guess. Seems its different here, women know how to cook at an early age, but we don't have many fast food restaurants here so maybe that's why, Johnny.
Looks delicious...Ticia wrote:
