maplesyrup Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 How many times have we seen articles in the mainstream press that research shows such and such a product is good for your health, right up even to and including Canada's Food Guide? It's all bullshit paid for by corporations. And yes, even Canada's Health Food Guide. At one point Health Canada wanted to reduce the quantity of milk they recommended and there was such an outcry from the milk producers the healthy recommendations were derailed. Why is it that corporations feel they have to deceive us to promote their products? Don't they realize for long term health of their businesses they are much better off telling us the truth? Oh, and as far as that glass of wine being good for you is concerned. it's nonsense, not a shred of truth to it. As a matter of fact drinking alcohol is probably the worst possible thing you can do to your body after cigarette smoking. What Canada needs to do is to start taxing corporations again, we used to tax them you know, and remove corporations from their involvement in education, and any government scientific research especially at Heath Canada and Agriculture Canada, and any Education Departments. The additional taxes could pay for the unbiased research and heathy education that would result in benefiting all Canadians. Quote An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't. Anatole France
Big Blue Machine Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 Red wine is good for you in small amounts. Anything can be good for you as long as it moderated. Except cigarettes. Quote And as I take man's last step from the surface, for now but we believe not too far into the future. I just like to say what I believe history will record that America's challenge on today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow. And as we leave the surface of Taurus-Littrow, we leave as we came and god willing we shall return with peace and hope for all mankind. Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17.
