Read through the whole report. Pretty damning. It's not going to change my choice consumption though.

That said though, it's still insufficient. Nobody argues that all milk should be consumed raw. It depends on the quality of the jersey and its diet. It also admits a cost-benefit between the consumption of natural bacteria we desire and taste with an increased probability of negative bacteria.

Yes, I posted about that a few days ago.  I actually teach in that county.

In a county that makes a girl eat chicken nuggets instead of a turkey sandwich because the child's lunch isn't healthy enough, we had a pep rally on Monday.  One activity was an eating contest.  The first participant to consume the covered item would win a gift card.

The covered item?

A one-pound block of butter.  Dead

And we wonder why we have such a problem with obesity in this country...

As I told one of my friends regarding the article, I went to public school. I have seen the stuff they pass off as food. They have no room to talk about nutrition.

I encourage you to check out the food pyramid we grew up on and had rammed down our throats.

6-11 servings of bread products?  Yeah, that's good advice.  Ermm

Of course, the question is whether or not the USDA's priority is the nutrition of a nation or the commercial interests of the crop industry.

Yeah our diet should apparently be made up mostly of highly processed, nutritionally devoid grains and dairy

I stopped listening to the USDA and the FDA a long time ago. Like most aspects of our current system, major corporations have too much influence. In this case, the pharmaceutical and dairy industries seem to be the groups that drive policy.

Oh no, this was a competition among students.  Fortunately no heart attacks were had.

Brings to mind a riddle:

What's worse more, a pound of butter or a pound of beer?

Not to be a dick but I was there and quite unimpressed.
I've had better cheesesteaks outside Phlly!
Well, at least outside of that place, there may be other less known ones in the city that are better.

I forget, I'm pretty sure I got "regular" cheese and not the sauce (though I was told the latter was more traditional) but yeah, CC Peppers in State College (which is run by a bunch of Bostonians) had superior cheesesteaks!

Yo, it's not cheese sauce; it's cheese wiz. There's a big difference, and I highly recommend it.

Brian's lying. Actually, probably not lying just delusional.

Pat's makes some good stuff, but it's mostly just a tourist trap. You get to order in a funny way and see the pictures of all the celebrities who've eaten there.

For the real steak, the semi-orgasmic life altering experience, you go here



The roast pork is even better than the cheesesteak though. I would say the roast pork is probably the true philly sandwich.

I believe you just said yourself what it it's all about.

Yeah but I've still never had an edible cheesesteak outside of Philadelphia. It's a real stretch to imagine finding a good one.

Yo bro, if you ever get out to State College, you got a suggestion right there.

Also I assume Paul is still being kept down? I hate that Maddow but at least she's spoken of Paul's strategy, the bias against him and how he was screwed over in Maine.
From MSNBC! Wonder if Fox would ever talk of itLOL

People who propose change will always be kept down and always have been aside from the few epochs in human history when the the perfect set of circumstances coincided to make the ground fertile for new ideas.

Rhetorical, of course, but brilliant response as always!

I know Paul wasn't so concerned with "winning" states anyway and had a strategy so we'll see. Which reminds me should get off my ass and register Rep, got till May but why wait? Never thought I'd say those words in my lifetime.
Or that it would be for Ron Paul.

If all this isn't a sign of the apocalypse I don't know what is.

Libertarian friends!

I've been thinking about the Fed.
Well, more like I've thinking about the price of everything and how it keeps skyrocketing. It's something that really chokes middle America, I know my family made some changes for 2012 to be in a better financial situation but the price of living has negated it largely.

I never really gave it thought, but isn't the Fed like...supposed to help with that stuff?
I'll admit, I really don't know much about it except generalities.
Soooo recommend me some reads gentlemen. I'm open right now, not necessarily removing it, but changing it maybe, but I just want some info.

What it does, impacts, theories on how it could be better (or what'd happen if removed outright). I'm all ears right now. I know Ron Paul has written on the matter.

edit: please no anti fed rants at the moment eitherLOL
