That you would think I would argue against the banning of soda for food stamp recipients because I am in your words 'obese', is reprehnsible. You know for a fact that you wouldn't say that to my face if we ever were to discuss this in person. So why should you be allowed to take shots at me on a discussion forum? My profession and my weight have zero to do with my ability to discuss topics.

What you call 'polluted' is actually dissenting opinion.

I am not in favor of universal healthcare until I see a system that will not only provide quality care but be properly funded as well. As it stands neither will occur.

So calling someone stupid b/c you disagree with them is ok, but calling someone obese, in the context of a state trying to lower the obesity rate, is wrong? Interesting how that works....Your profession and weight do in fact have something to do with the threads you want to discuss. That is why you went into XYZ thread to begin with. Obviously, anyone of any profession is influenced by their life experiences. To think otherwise is naive....And since I practice what I preach I have actual experience with the largest food bank in the United States since I have volunteered there each of the last 5 years. And you know what? You can get soda there. You know why, b/c it was donated. The government isn't providing it, people are. I bring whatever I can bring when I go, but I can't understand wanting to donate something unhealthy to those in need.
