    This could lead to all foods banned except for the swill served to desperate Third World refugees in those CARE commercials, while Congress watches…

    I wish more Republican candidates would talk about things like this. I think this possible trans fat ban and the light bulb ban are worse than Obamacare. They at least are much more of an obvious personal assault on our freedom and the way we live our daily lives. Actually taking away something as precious as the foods we enjoy? Or telling us how we can light our homes and effecting the actual ambience of our most private space? It’s as personal as outlawing certain types of sex. And I think if more young people were aware of these bans and if the candidates talked about it, they could really be winning issues for the Republicans.

    GOPe, won’t do anything because it doesn’t want light on removing country of origin information for beef or on fighting GMO labeling. The new conservative Repubs have to step up.

    In Corvallis, Oregon plastic grocery bags are not given out in stores, smoking tobacco products in stores, restaurants and public places is forbidden, but smoking pot is perfectly acceptable behavior.

    To the food police (and that means you too Mooch), keep your stinking hands off of our food! What we eat and like is our CHOICE not yours, so butt out and go pound sand!
