no. and why would that be germane to the issue?
Food Lion got caught with their britches down, dropping a duece all over their customers, and sued for, of all things, job application fraud.

You should be. No shit, Kynes, you have an obvious talent with words. You should write dialog.

When did you first have beer? When did you first smoke? You tell me it works, but I don't believe it.

How about ganga? Are these laws effective or just prison economy?

I was not sure what you meant (double negative). I never said it works.....it didn't for me....can't speak for everybody. I think cigs got phased out because of the negative stigma and all the laws. Ganga? Prison economics?

I have no reason to believe otherwise. You are fighting to accelerate the #1 cause of death in America. Heart Disease. Explain that.

I have no reason to believe you are not a 400lb, 5'4" female with "father issues", but that wouldn't be my first assumption. Explain how I am "fighting to accelerate the #1 cause of death in America. Heart Disease."

I think they have plenty of right to say food stamps can only be used on certain basic foods, since it is the government's (our) money.

That's because you don't really care to listen. If you cant understand why certain foods cause heart disease go and buy a used book.

It is not aggressive as many would benefit, nor is there intent to enslave you. I wish no harm, but a better understanding of food in our culture and some simple measures WOULD be of great benefit healthwise. If you want to eat garbage I hope you do so moderately....if not, exercise freedom by stubbornly poisoning yourself. Some people actually see these as toxic to the young and part of an epidemic. If they are correct, that is a shameful simplification and you are as problematic as these foods are. If your goal is to end your life.....do it expeditiously.

When another person makes up THEIR mind what is best for YOU, it IS aggressive. For instance if I decided to steal your car and sell it, then gave the money to an orphanage, my good deed doesn't erase my theft does it?

I eat healthy food, that doesn't mean I (or anyone) has a right to make others eat healthy food.

I know the law, I get it. Can't take people bitching about self-inflicted disease and others bitching about why costs might be high. I am just looking out for people and their wallets....I wont be paying in to O-care, so it is not my problem but it is for the greater good.....that is a fact.

When did I say certain foods didn't cause heart disease? You seem to be arguing with the voices in your head rather than anything I've said.

that's right, RR just like mandatory unnecessary vaginal inspections with no therapeutic measure prior to a surgical procedure..perhaps we should stick something up your ass next time you take on a little too much "sugar"?

I'm not sure that I understand your point, perhaps it's the amazing glow from your skin that has made it difficult to focus?

Everything is aggressive to you. Science made up my mind about these 2 products and avoiding them is healthier....bottom line. If you like soda just say so, whatever. Your passive attitude is essentially saying nothing and does not aim to do anything. Its' lazy....

You just said you were for them. And now you say they don't. CIGS phased out. WTF???

What double negative? NO DOUBLE NEGS. BTW, it is less than honorable to say this and claim you never said the laws worked.

Are these laws (ganja, from the previous sentence)effective or just prison economy?

That's because you just don't get it. You keep making replies to statements I never made. You're arguing with someone that exits in your own mind and trying to pretend it's me. And, frankly, trying to imply I am some fat illiterate or I would agree with you is indicative of mental deficiency.
