Right. Either way you go about it, once the government starts saying what someone can and can’t eat, that’s the beginning of the end. 

People do know though. There’s a difference in knowing something is bad for you and knowing what’s in it and why it’s bad for you. Even a child knows that candy is bad for you. The problem is once you get into specifics, people stop paying attention. 

Yea, I would agree with you there. I think banning them is taking it too far. I’m not even sure about forcing them to put a warning like cigarettes on them if the restaurant displays the calorie count of items on the menu. Maybe a better idea than just having a “warning: high sugar content” would be to make…

Well, if we are going to have mandated health insurance and we all pay the same rate no matter what our health situation is when we sign up, then yea, the government should probably warn people not to eat so much sugar. I don’t want to pay more for health insurance because you decided that you can eat as many…

Why do these groups continue to try to want to tell people what they an and cant eat? If I wanna drink a shake with all that sugar and calories thats my business. No government or group should have a say in what people eat. Period

Imagine looking at everything wrong in the world and deciding what you really need to spend time on is pressuring people to eat less sugar. 

Great movie. Never really saw any issues with Andy’s boyfriend, I feel like most people would be hurt if their significant other missed their birthday parties for work and both Andy and him seemed ready for a break-up. I didn’t really like her randomly getting back together with him at the end though, that was…

But there’s plenty of stunning idiocy to be found, as well. Andy is so aggressively dismissive of her job at first that she comes across, not as someone who is just ignorant of the fashion world, but someone who is deliberately trying to tank her own career by being willfully hostile to her employer.

It’s a rom-com because she picks love over immolation in her work in pursuit of glamour and money. The dissatisfaction with Nate is largely about how true love is glamour and money?

I don’t think it’s really that much different now, we just used to get more homemade treats, like popcorn balls and such.

Sugar-less anything is most likely FAR more unhealthy for you than candy. I bet you’re also into “lite” or “diet” foods that also have these lab-created sweeteners that cause cancer or actually makes one more plump. Your body doesn’t know how to process these artificial sweeteners, and stores them as fat. I would…

Back when I was a kid, it was considered safe to eat homemade Halloween treats.

Give out a good alternative, like silly string or those little bundles that snap when you throw them.

My parents were reasonably tight about candy, sweets, and junk food, but that was the 80's and it was a lot easier. We also lived on a farm so our trick or treating was quite limited. I think we’d hit about 20 houses, at most.

But seriously, yeah, your anti-candy crusade paradoxically only increases it’s appeal. My wife and I are very liberal with our son regarding candy, and have been since he was very little. He’s not all that interested in it these days.

They’re all sandwiches. Taco? Sandwich. Pizza? Open-faced sandwich. S’more? Dessert sandwich. This Jimmy Dean thing? Low-carb sandwich we’re going to see a lot more of. 

Who the hell makes Italian meatballs without cheese?

Thanks! Still, a line would have been nice. I actually have to give credit to the writers this year. They at least tried to make the episode sort of scary, not just pop culture references. You want the Treehouses of Horror from the good seasons, and there are actual stakes. This year the best one was the intro. 

Was this the first one with no Kang and Kodos? The hell? If you’re going to insist on keeping this zombie show alive, rules are rules. 

I get why there’s a market for low-calorie fake ice cream. What I don’t get is, instead of making bad ice cream, why not just sell the real stuff in single-serving containers? I’ve seen those in the UK, they exist.
