As long as we make an exception for Cinnabon, I'm fine with regulating sugar.

My wife takes her parents out and drives them around and takes them to the mall to walk around about once a week or every other. My FIL knows my son loves Cinnabon, so he'll buy us an 8 pack or whatever every single time for us.

Fortunately, I've cut my intake down to 1/2 of one for breakfast. My son is hitting the age that he'll put a whole one away and I have mad respect.

I cannot ****ing stand how my MIL is constantly bringing baked goods over. None of us want them. I throw them away the next day.

It was the Surgeon General, not HHS secretary.

He/she isn’t the Surgeon General. Also, why would the Surgeon General”General” wear a fake Admiral uniform.

LOL. Yeah, but I want these. Badly.

It's not fake. The surgeon general leads a real commissioned officer corps.

He and his team did quite well in calif against Monsanto on behalf of that groundskeeper. First case to boot. Always the hardest

Can’t be worse than the overweight tranny developing health policy 😉

The only thing I know is that the guy has precious little executive leadership ability. If something gets accomplished, it won't be because of him. And since I find most of what he espouses to be crackpot idiocy, it gives me great comfort to know he'll be the one in charge of trying to implement it.

The cinnamon counteracts the sugar. It's actually a health food.

I'm not sure that is really the case. People with actual allergies have obvious and intentional reactions. For example, my youngest has a peanut allergy, despite the fact that my wife craved peanut butter during his pregnancy and certainly ate plenty while he was breastfeeding. However, the first time he received PB&J, he only had a few bites, got very fussy and broke out with crazy hives and swelling in his face and neck.

Now we have to travel with an Epipen, though his doesn't seem bad enough where it is truly life-threatening, at least not in moderate ingestion.

Not sure why but allergies are all up - Peanuts, Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, etc.

https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-q-and-a-number-of-children-with-peanut-allergies-has-increased-significantly/

Over the last several decades, the prevalence of peanut allergies in children in the United States has more than tripled. The reasons behind this dramatic increase are unclear. Lifestyle, diet choices and genetics all seem to play a role.

For example, one theory, called the hygiene hypothesis, highlights how the way people who live in developed countries may have an impact on childhood allergies, including peanut allergies. Babies born in developing countries have lower incidence of allergies than those in developed countries. But if a family moves to a more developed country, their children’s incidence of childhood allergies increases. So simply being in the environment of a developed country seems to change things.

The hygiene hypothesis suggests that children who have more exposure to germs and certain infections at a very early age develop immune systems that are better suited to differentiating harmless substances from harmful substances. In this theory, exposure to certain germs teaches the immune system not to overreact. It would also explain why children who grow up on farms or those who have certain types of pets are less likely to develop allergies than other children. But much more research is needed to understand exactly how childhood germ exposure might help prevent allergies.

Damn right. We ate a lot of dirt back in our youth. And liked it.

I'd posit that many of today's food allergies are not new, but in the past were dealt with by saying "peanuts don't agree with me" and not eating them. Now they're life threatening and require immediate medical intervention if you're even downwind from them.



This was my country doctor mom's take on it. She said too many kids don't play in the dirt enough.

Edit: These allergies are serious. Seemed like Mark doesn’t think so. One of my son’s best friends from childhood through today has a peanut allergy. A golf buddy from Kentucky has a milk allergy and all his grandkids have it. Serious stuff that can kill you.

Fair point. Too many (*cough*CO.H*cough*) seem to think that being a lawyer qualifies you for everything, and then they forget that when the lawyer is someone they disagree with.

Ha. Being a competent lawyer would qualify one for any job that lists thinking as “relevant experience “. I realize that wouldn’t include most bureaucratic jobs.

Ah that’s right - I always thought Levine was the surgeon general. Now I’m even more confused.

Levine rides the short bus, people who think he’s alright are mentally unstable too.

Yeah. Never liked that.

When Michelle Obama wanted to do all that stuff, she was a goddamn dirty communist.

I keep thinking there’s something different when it comes to Obama and Kennedy. I can’t put my finger on it, but there must be some glaring difference.
