Unbelievable!!! But still, to many of the sheep, he is a god and is "Science"
Fauci Deposition report: “he can’t recall practically anything dealing with his Covid response!” Louisiana AG Jeff Landry: “Wow! It was amazing to spend 7 hours with Dr. Fauci. The man who single-handedly wrecked the U.S. economy based upon ‘the science.’ Only to discover that he can’t recall practically anything dealing with his Covid response!” https://legalinsurrection.com/2022/1...ovid-response/

I was also speaking about someone who did have access to healthy groceries nearby because we were both at the same place and had equal access, so the lack of access argument is very disingenuous. Cramming in a false narrative. As an aside, Tuna fish is still very cheap by the way and has very low fat content. Its not like people do not have access to canned tuna fish versus fresher high fat bacon. At the store I was at fresh veggies were very cheap and there are tons of cheap healthy options out ther versus junk food such as Doritos. I would think in 30 years life experience, people do know that high sugar is not good for you or high fat. People are free to make their choices and people are free to make observations (with a touch of humor) on those choices and also people are free to say those observations are insensitive as well.

This is completely false. We do not have tens of millions of obese citizens because of uncontrollable conditions, it’s because people ignore the health consequences of unhealthy diets. It is, for 99% of the population, the easiest health problem to control. 99% can simply stop being obese by adopting a healthy diet and exercising.

I was one of them. It’s very easy to stop being that way. I even spend less on food now with a healthy lifestyle and BMI than I did when I didn’t care and lived the ‘good life’. Obesity is much easier to control (you yourself have control of it) than highly infectious diseases, and far, far, far more damaging to your health than Covid-19. Nobody cares, of course, because there’s no virtue signal political points for not being obese. |

Thanks Bobby and James. Sometimes I don't know why I bother to post in threads that are not directly related to sports memorabilia. It's difficult to share contrasting points of view even when supported by easily accessible facts and when offered in a civil manner. I don't pretend to know everything; we all deal with having bias: unconscious bias and other forms. In the end, I may agree that given the context, I may have an opinion or may have formed a conclusion that might be right or might be wrong. But I have no interest in engaging with people that just want to keep their hands over their ears or respond with expletives or a unilateral statement that a comment supported by facts is completely wrong. It's just a waste of time and it's better to just agree to disagree with people rather than divert my time from reading through some of the other fun threads on Leon's wonderful forum.

Having a little discipline is not a privilege of the wealthy. A fellow's job does not mean he is incapable of thinking about what he puts into his body, incapable of discipline, incapable of getting out and exercising (cardio is free! It costs nothing to take a run!). What an offensive characterization of the poor, since we're going to make this about being offended. I was poor and barely scraping by out of college when I made the choice to stop being fat. I was still able to pick the healthy food. A giant tub of Spinach costs less than a Big Mac. Being fat is a choice people make. It's grossly unhealthy. People can make whatever choice they want for themselves, but to pretend that most people are incapable of policing their weight is a load of bullshit. That's not "science" or "medicine", that's denying it. If people want to get triggered by basic self responsibility or their unscientific bullshit being labelled "bullshit", they can. |

When you don’t have any facts or common sense, you got to deal the “everyone else must be racist” card, even if it’s about a completely non-racial topic, like cross-racial obesity . You can’t reason with an unreasonable ideologue who can only spout completely off topic accusations.

I take offense to the suggestion that wearing a mask is "virtue signaling." What irony. For years you righties claimed the right to make your own choice about masks and now you deride anyone who does the same simply because you don't agree with the choice they make? I guess the freedom to make a choice is a great thing unless it is someone else's choice and you don't agree with it. You also don't know the minds of the people who choose to mask up. I wear a mask in public places at risk for spreading respiratory viruses right now because my last cold ended up with a vicious sinus infection and I don't want a repeat performance. That ain't a signal, it is self-preservation.

"They do seem to have largely stopped the mask virtue signaling, it's a small minority still wearing them here in far-left land where I live, and those that do aren't going apoplectic when they see people not participating in their fear narrative." You can do whatever you want. The virtue signaling is the freak-outs, demands, and bans of people choosing not to participate in your fear. If you are scared to go outside without a mask and believe that you need one to stay alive, then wear one. The statement actually made was that it nice that, while the narrative will never be dropped, the virute-signalling has subsided and people are no longer throwing public tantrums or attempting to arrest the rest of us for living a normal life. If you'd like to be offended, go right ahead. |

Look at the response I got: "You can eat fairly healthy for the same cost as eating at McDonalds and getting trash every day." Low-income people cannot afford the cost of 3 combo meals from McDonalds for each of an average of 3-4 family members every day. Sure, if they had the money to spend $6-$10 per person per meal like they would spend at McDonalds, they indeed could eat healthier, and maybe the author of this comment can do that every day with their income. But I can assure you that a significant proportion of the U.S. population cannot spend that much money on individual meals. The argument is absurd and is not supported by the math.

Fauci emailed friend saying masks were 'ineffective,' pushed for mandates anyway, Missouri AG says
Brianna Herlihy Fri, November 25, 2022 at 3:38 PM Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said Friday that during his seven-hour deposition with Dr. Anthony Fauci, new information revealed that two months after Fauci told a friend masks were "ineffective," he supported mask mandates. On Friday, the Show-Me State Republican attorney general tweeted a "tidbit" from his deposition with the outgoing head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases: "Another tidbit from Fauci depo: In Feb ‘20 he emailed a friend advising her masks were ineffective. Confirmed again on Mar 31. On Apr 3 he’s adamant masks should be worn even though he couldn’t cite a single study to prove it. Mandates followed—Lives ruined." "COVID tyranny is born," Schmitt continued. On Wednesday, Schmitt and his counterpart, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, questioned Biden's chief medical adviser under oath for his alleged role in colluding with Big Tech to control communication about COVID-19 as part of the duo's lawsuit. Schmitt and Landry filed the lawsuit in May, accusing top-ranking government officials of working with the giant social media companies Meta [Facebook], Twitter and YouTube "under the guise of combating misinformation" in order to achieve greater censorship. They are seeking to prove that Fauci worked with Facebook and others to tamp down talk that the virus originated in a lab in Wuhan, China. "Defendant Dr. Anthony Fauci, a senior federal government official, coordinating with others, orchestrated a campaign to discredit the lab-leak hypothesis in early 2020," Landry and Schmitt said in their brief. "As director of [National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases], Dr. Fauci had funded risky 'gain-of-function' research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology through intermediaries such as EcoHealth Alliance, headed by Dr. Peter Daszak." Dr. Anthony Fauci debates Rand Paul Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases FAUCI ADMITS ‘CERTAIN ASPECTS’ OF THE GOVERNMENT'S COVID-19 RESPONSE WERE ‘BOTCHED’ "Thus, if the lab-leak theory were established, Dr. Fauci and Dr. Daszak could be potentially implicated in funding the research on viruses that caused the COVID19 pandemic and killed millions of people worldwide," they said. According to a Wednesday tweet following the deposition, Schmitt said Fauci "knew the Lab Leak theory had merit but it'd come back to him & sought to immediately discredit it." In his last White House press conference before he is scheduled to retire after a 50-year career next month, Fauci said, "Every day for all those years I've given it all that I have, and I've never left anything on the field," he continued. "I gave it all I got," Fauci added. https://www.yahoo.com/news/fauci-ema...213839857.html

i also think its interesting when there is a solid issue and the only main negative is attacking the extreme position such as saying ZERO chance that poeple cant control obesity...of course its not zero.....but than the person citing the extreme one way is extreme the other way in their position saying CANT control obesity essentially...we are talking about a majority postion.not the extreme....i would argue the majority of people can control obesity by eating less fatty foods and lower sugar and moderate excercise for 15 mins a day such as walking would do wonders for the majority of people. Focusing an argument on people who are extreme that say that zero chance anyone can avoid being obese if they really dont want to really makes your argument extreme as well.

The extreme mental stress of the patient could most likely be attributed to the fear mongering and scare tactics used by various anti-vaccination groups. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9629406/# The "shots" are so affective they are now recommending everyone get vaccinated every 2 months, or 6 times a year. Remember when they said boosters were a conspiracy theory as was ones own natural immune system?

I havent had my polio vaccine since I was a kid. I should probably get another one. Oh and about 7 years since tetanus, sign me up for that one as well. Every 2 months, ha! People still lining up.
"Poor" but fat people. Other countries are mocking us. It was a sign of wealth centuries ago, now they are too "poor" to eat well. That would take a conscious choice, planning ahead if time. There should be a standardized test to procreate at this point. Tie'em till they pass

You really don't think there's an issue with America's food supply? Why are so many of the products used widely in the American food chain (BVO, high fructose corn syrup, ammonia-laced beef, chlorine-laced chicken, pork full of ractopamine, etc.) banned in so many other countries? These products are included in a large variety of low-cost foods, like fast food, for example, which we all know utilizes "pink slime" to fill out their menus. Dollar menus are cheap alternatives for families but they are always the worst food you could eat. So you have a cycle of people who can't afford food that won't kill them and a country that authorizes the use of products known to make people ill in the food they can afford.

The poultry and meat industry lobbied relentlessly for Ag-Gag laws and the reason is if you ever did know the living conditions of the animals you’re about to eat there’s no way you’d ever eat that food.
Clearly there is a major issue with food supply in this country and there is a concerted effort being made by corporations and government entities to keep bad food in play. |

Obviously unhealthy food is a huge problem. However, it's not the supply so much as that the more tasty tempting choices that are everywhere. There is no shortage of healthy food available. You can very, very easily eat fairly healthy for the same or less money. A giant tub of spinach costs less than a Big Mac (the burger, not the combo). Salads are cheap. I eat healthy and spend LESS money than I did when I made poor health choices. I am not special. While junk food poses other health problems, one can eat crap food and still be thin or lose weight. It's a caloric equation, study after study has found this, that if you eat bad food but run a calorie deficit, you still lose weight. Eating a smaller portion is not more expensive. It does not cost the poor anything to eat less. If one is obese, they need to eat less (or choose not to, that's ones right). Eating less is not more expensive. Obviously. I wish there was less junk food being sold everywhere, but it's there because people choose to buy Big Mac's far more often than they choose to buy the $4 tub of Spinach. It's a choice people make. Getting healthy food is not difficult, I have been all over this country and lived in upper class places and very low class ones. I have never had any difficulty whatsoever finding healthy food for the cost of fast food or less. I am not special. Eating healthy can be done on the same budget. People are wildly obese in America from all social and economic classes (what's the average T-shirt size at a card show of affluent people with extra spending money? XXL?). It is cheaper to eat smaller servings. People just don't excercise self control. Your weight is one of the few things in life you have near total control over. People just prefer victim narratives and pretending there wasn't ever a choice than taking any responsibility for their choices they make every single day. |

That is just not true. If you're eating something like fast food regularly because it's either cheap enough for you to feed your entire family, or you just don't have any energy left to cook otherwise after your day, you're consuming empty calories. Empty calories come from food with no nutritional value, like fast food, again, for example. You can limit your portions all you want but you will still gain weight disproportionally and your health will suffer just the same. It's because a lot of the food we eat in this country is low quality food.
