If you think that's bad, try beer & broccoli with a hearty helping of onions & hot peppers. Every time you hang around in a crowd, at least it'll be
easy to find you...

It's for those very same reasons (& more) that, overall, I think the UN is full of BS.

Maybe the UN should go on a real diet, like getting less U.S. taxpayer money.
Finally, someone points out the real key to how governments (including the UN) actually work & is smart enough to "hit the nail of the thumb." BTW,
I reserve that particular turn-of-phrase to denote the
painfully obvious...
It's the
governments that are too expensive for us to continue feeding! Feed Yourselves! Starve the government!

The U.N. shouldn't be telling anyone what to do, the U.N. shouldn't even exist, but we should be aware of what our habits are doing as a whole and
if it looks as bad as this maybe we should consider some changes.
This is exactly why I emphasize
personal responsibility in people...Governments exist only because too many people lack a sense of personal
responsibility & have to beg some government to take care of them. Governments feed off of
everybody to support those among humanity refuse to
be responsible for themselves...And this is the whole reason why governments grow so big & expensive to maintain & why governments have so much power
to
over-regulate everybody.
The US Founding Forefathers saw government as a "necessary evil" in that there needs to be some form of organization established to build
public
infrastructure & also aid those caught in natural disasters, so as to help them get back on their own feet again...But governments will always
seek to grow out of bounds to the point where even responsibly-minded people can't afford to support it either. The Constitution that they wrote was
intended to keep government in-bounds, but it wound up corrupted to the point where the USA wouldn't even be recognizable to those who founded it.

The more you know about how cattle/beef (pigs, lambs and chickens) are raised for the commercial market you will want to eat less of it
for sure.
This much is true for pretty much everything that's mass-produced for the large consumer-markets...Have you seen what the FDA limits are for
"foreign materials" allowed to remain in any kind of canned goods?
If I had enough land to do so, I'd only eat foods I could produce or hunt myself!

Yah, I seen the movie...
Hmmm...I wonder if this is what happens to Gitmo "body-bag releases" & other political dissidents who don't make it out alive of the "injustice"
system?

Cannibals just

and dont forget, kids, organic cane sugar still makes you as fat as the regular stuff...
but you'll be organically tubby
so, at least there's that
I'd prefer being "organically tubby" from sugar in my soda rather than being "artificially thin" with aspartame (a neurotoxin: FDA approved, no
less) in diet soda.

Come on...it is clear that the eating habits of most people (young and adult) contribute to the huge rise in Diabetes, Obesity and other serious
health problems. We are the only generation who may have children that will not live longer than we do. What a terrible thought!
Then turn off the TV that advertises entire
industries that produce nothing but unhealthy lifestyles. After all, if we have to pay high enough
prices for their "goods" that they can
afford TV advertising, then we're paying too much as it is...This is not even including the long-term
hidden costs for
using those goods in the first place.
In the end, it all boils down to
personal responsibility for both individual people & the parents still raising their kids.
