Yep. That’s how Jan 6 happened. Vast voter fraud! Stolen election! You’d likely find that many people in that crowd also thought COVID was a hoax, cited tweets as facts, YouTube clips as facts, and other forms of media that fit their narrative as facts. Oh, also believed COVID would be gone by Easter of 2020. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by BCauley; 12-13-2022 at 10:25 PM. |

Yes. Read the statement. "It is impossible to prove a negative, as any rational person knows." The lack of any evidence (which was my entire point) is the rational method by which one arrives at disbelief. You cannot prove that something does not exist, you can only conclude the claim is untrue or should be treated as such because there is no evidence, which was my exact point and worded correctly. Logic has worked this way since even before Aristotle. I am sorry this really, really upsets you for some reason. Quote:

What was it, exactly, that set you off, Dick? Was it me deciding to identify as being vaxxed, and since you didn't know that was an option nor thought of that yourself, that sent you into a tailspin? Well, since it seems facts don't matter much anymore and emotions rule the day according to this Liberal woke insanity, today I've decided I am going to identify as being a Conspiracy Theorist and my pronouns are going to be TOLD/YOU/SO. How's that work? Hopefully fine, but if not, please try to understand trying to fit in with this new to me woke, imaginary, where facts don't matter anymore society, is taking some getting use to.

Just when you think the funded Main Stream Media (MSM) couldn't get any worse, they outdo themselves yet again. And to think this is where many still get and believe their news is truthful, factual and unbiased. People who skipped their COVID vaccine are at higher risk of traffic accidents, according to a new study https://finance.yahoo.com/news/peopl...183148392.html

To be cognizant of the undeniable biological fact that obesity requires you to eat far more than you need does not mean I don't think diabetics should be given insulin or that they should have to go without if they are poor.

If you are such an expert on human biology, you shouldn’t be doing this routine every time I say that if you eat more than you need you get obese, and that people can control eating less. No one is force feeding people more. A poor person does not spend more money to eat less. If you are getting obese you need to consume less (or don’t if you don’t seek health). Duh. Even in some fantasy where they are too poor to afford food and don’t have food stamps, they can easily eat less. Clearly they can afford to eat too much to get obese. If you consume more than you burn you gain weight; that is actual science. If you’re an expert, stop getting triggered over it. My mind is open to actual science, not your social narrative where groups you like have no responsibility for their actions whatsoever. That’s social political bunk I have no interest in from either side. |

Yes, I don’t doubt other things have some impact. Some foods do lead to weight gain more than others (hence my argument that one should eat more veggies and less carb and fat trash). Calories in Vs. Calories out is the domianant factor. If you eat 5,000 calories of healthy food while living a sedentary life, you will almost certainly become obese. If you eat 1,000 calories of trash you will almost certainly lose weight, but will probably suffer other consequences of an unhealthy diet. If one is obese and desires not to be obese, then one should eat less. I’m amazed anyone wants to object to that. |

Okay. They are too poor to eat fast food, they also cannot go to a grocery store at all because they don’t live near one.
Makes me wonder how these people are even alive, much less obese! It’s a miracle. |

A lot of people get their groceries from 7-11 and Dollar stores because that is what is near them.

So our argument is now that America is obese because people are too poor to eat fast food, cannot locate or get to any grocery store, and do their groceries at 7/11 with no other viable choice, and this is the only thing available to them?

Lack of access to grocery stores is certainly a contributing factor.

Okay, so you reject that formulation. If we're objecting to the basic science that eating more calories and bad food gains weight and that eating less and healthier produces weight loss, and we also object to my take that people choose what they eat as vegetables are readily and cheaply available in every city, what exactly is the specific argument? And how does this explain that obesity is factually not just a poor people thing?

Good lord man, look around this country. Take a good look because it's hard to believe you have been to enough places to say some of the things you are saying. Have you been to low income housing districts? And did you read the earlier post about food deserts? You claim "there is no city in America where you can't get fairly healthy food for cheap as well." While you need to define what the terms "fairly healthy food" and "cheap" mean, because they darn well mean different things to people of different socioeconomic backgrounds, it's a claim by you that cannot be proven. I'm not talking about an occasional sale on carrots and beets at the local bodega. I'm talking a consistently low-priced variety of items including protein, suitable for low income heads of households to bring home for their families for breakfast, lunch and dinner, 365 days a year.

thats anecdotal and its all comparable...what is the poor family spending their money on versus healtier food and veggies..you can buy a bag of non red delcious apples for a lot less.....to think of croutons and dressing on a salad that takes away all the healthy benefits and should not even be considered.....clothes are actually very cheap..ther are goodwills everywhere and clothing drives.. you can buy 10+ outfits for less than 100 bucks..plus ther are many free clothes places..for you to mention clothings costs shows you out of touch as clothes are really not much of an expense. shoes a bit more challenging...however there are tons of ways to get cheap clothes if you are poor.....if i was poor i would not care if i wore a shirt that there as a spelling mistake so its less than a dollar versus spelled correctly and costing 15 dollars.. i actually have had to live on many things i am discussing.... i noticed that others that complained in my situation were not honest in how they were spending their limited money, how much are eggs and tuna...you can also buy veggies and fruit in the mail that are a little old but still just as nutritious / below are some links https://www.misfitsmarket.com https://thekrazycouponlady.com/tips/...oduce-delivery you can buy a 10 pound box of produce for about 15-20 bucks......you cant pick whats in it but is fruit and veggies and healthy things. and its mailed to you and doesnt matter where you live. ..please stop with the lack of access in areas like washington dc when you can just get it mailed to you.. much better than buying bacon and doritos for 5 dollars to quote an apple costing more than a dollar where you can get 4 of them for that price with same nutrition...

I cannot buy 4 apples for $1.36 here in my large midwestern city. Actually I looked at bags of apples if you are talking about cheaper apples and buying them in bulk. The cheapest bag of apples, a 5 lb bag, was $4.99, about the same price as a slightly smaller red delicious I quoted. Yes, you do get more apples but generally they are smaller. Also, and this is not meant to be an argumentative comment but rather an observation: many lower income and poverty-level families will not be able to buy in bulk either because they cannot afford to, or because they don't have the room to store all the fruits and veggies in bags.

Its still far less that buying a bag of doritos.....the apples you were looking at are not the same as the less pricier apples plus there are carrots/bananas etc far less a pound...saying you cant store products is a housing issue..one issue at a time..the point is healthy food is far cheaper then people said.i already gave links where you can buy older fruit for very cheap...same nutrition and you can have it mailed to you....food stamps will pay for them as well.. |

Tostitos are now 5 bucks a bag!

Surging prices on things like eggs may not just be entirely inflation related. Thought I read about the recent desecration of poultry flocks due to a type of avian flu that had hit American poultry farmers, and how tens of millions of birds were culled to try and stop any further spread. Will take a while for the poultry industry to get back to normal, and then it is still plagued by increased distribution and processing costs due to continuing supply chain issues and so on. It seems to be getting better, but we are certainly not back to where we were a year ago.
Same thing with some other meats. The drought over a large portion of the country this past year, especially in areas known for cattle ranching, caused many ranchers to send more of their herds to market than ever before, rather than losing them to drought conditions. The supply chain and other production issues contributed to the still high prices though. But the significant herd reductions will have a longer lasting effect going forward on beef supply and costs, as it will take much longer for the American cattle herds to replenish and grow back to where they were. And that is only if these terrible drought conditions start to abate. Poultry/chickens have significantly shorter gestation periods than cows, and can have flocks replenished a lot faster and easier than cattle herds. Even if inflation were to suddenly disappear, we are probably going to be experiencing some continued beef industry costs issues due to these reduced herds. Inflation may be a part of the problem, but you also have to include disease and climate issues as major contributing factors as well, at least for some foods. And where are you guys buying your eggs from? I just bought a dozen large, grade A eggs last Thursday for $3.44. |
