NOW it’s a slippery slope?

Are you serious?  For years, they harass the smokers and you don’t say boo about it.  Now NYC comes for your Crisco and it’s a slippery slope?

Honestly?  Fuck you.  We’re halfway down the chasm and gaining speed.

Nice of you to notice, but you’re a little late.

1. End state: we will all be mandated by law to become vegans. Monitored through regular mandatory blood tests, to make sure we aren’t cheating.

   Or worse yet, we will all be restricted by law to a diet of some horrible synthetic goop which barely sustains life and causes wracking intestinal cramps. Yes, I’ve read Keith Mano’s novel, The Bridge; have you?

   If I recall, the next step in that book was the realization that, with every breath we take and every step we make, we are killing zillions of innocent microorganisms. Therefore the world’s progressive overlords decreed a day on which the entire human race would embark on a mandatory hunger strike (strictly enforced, under penalty of death), and starve themselves to death as penance for all the evils which eeeevil humans have committed simply by existing on the face of the earth. Thus the earth would be cleansed of the eeeeevil cancer known as humanity, and nature would reign green and uncontested once again.

   I know Mano wrote the novel as a parody. But sad to say, it’s becoming less and less of a parody all the time.

2. I haven’t read it.  Sounds like maybe I should, though.

3. You can have my oreos when you pry them from my cold dead-white glass of milk.

4. I think the whole thing is completely rediculus. Warn us of the danger and let us make our own decisions. No one is there force feeding you a triple cheeseburger, fries, and diet coke(for those watching there weight), all supersized. If they study anything enough they will find something wrong with it. Pretty soon there will be nothing left that won’t harden your arteries or give you cancer. You can’tr live for ever lets enjoy the ride while we’re here.

5. Part of the problem is that people don’t complain about anti-smoking legislation because smokers can still be attractive, but fat people?  Forget about it.  We can’t possibly be attractive to ANYONE.  We gotta increase the hotness quotient of the world by making everyone skinny, so no more trans fats.

   *sigh*

6. I just checked and found that Oreos don’t have trans fat.

   Okay, you can have my Yodels when you pry them ...
