My comment is not associated with Snickers or Mars bars or the like... hey we all know that they are sugar laden... right? And it is our right to eat an occasional snack bar if we so desire. <br /><br />What I originally tried to point out is that the listing of ingredients is done in various ways in certain venues including the AMTRAK trains both east and west coast. My original point was having a go at the AMTRAK staff on the west coast because of their lack of co-operation of some issues. I maintain my point for the very reason that whoever provides food for the AMTRAK trains has an option for things like tomatoes (the thing that makes me vomit)they do not have to use sliced large tomatoes if they were prepackaged as claimed. They can use cherry tomatoes. These of course can be in the salad and not put people like myself at the risk of vomiting. At least in the snack car there is a board that shows the ingredients so that you can make choices to avoid the situation. Again this was my whole point. Also, on the way home to Australia I had to starve (well at least not eat the meal they provided - we ate at the normal time) because the food on board was totally unsuitable. Other than toast there was nothing I could eat and on an aircraft the passenger is captive to the supplied menu. <br /><br />I agree that it is not the Federal Government's business to make these determinations for others. This is micro-management at its worst. <br /><br />As for obesity, there are more reasons than junk food that is the cause. Plus that stupid BMI is totally meaningless.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532250145038548627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-65266417168151213862010-03-25T15:22:28.831-04:002010-03-25T15:22:28.831-04:00Just wait- the giddy Dems are already drunk with p...Just wait- the giddy Dems are already drunk with power on their latest triumph.

This president launched his career in the livingroom of two terrorists. <br />I wonder how many professors down in Cornell were all for violence and civil disobedience when it was their side doing it? How many were personally involved? <br />If the Right starts marching this summer, payback's gonna be a bitch.Van Halenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16636153816814457813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-80500167187334014192010-03-24T20:07:35.388-04:002010-03-24T20:07:35.388-04:00The New York Times couldn't find a scoop if it...The New York Times couldn't find a scoop if it was in a bowl of Ice Cream.

Carrying this a few steps further, lowered sales also means lowered need to buy products, goods and services from other suppliers. What does that mean, kids? Yep. Job loss for the people at the factories that make the paper products for wrappers and napkins (and condiment packs, etc - listening Food and Commercial Worker's union?); Less work for the truck drivers who deliver the products (listening, Teamsters?)and less work for the meat packing plants, less work for the produce suppliers, less work for the migrant farmer who picks the tomatoes that go on that burger and into the ketchup. Aren't these groups who will be so very affected the same ones the Dems pretend to be the voice of? Makes you wonder. Or at least it should.ArmyWifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12202508847174532435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-32126642120395882422010-03-24T15:52:35.961-04:002010-03-24T15:52:35.961-04:00Is it time for civil disobedience yet?

They'll be "uncovering" all sorts of things in the days and weeks to come, I'm sure. Wonder when they'll "uncover" all the money going to "translation" services and teaching English as part of healthcare?<br /><br />And hey, you already have a job. They can hire me. :pFuzzy Slippershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021615731454709413noreply@blogger.com
