Foie Gras Nation: Consume Or Die

Fact. American economy is based on consumption. Fact. Seventy percent of our economy is dedicated to providing food and services to a consuming class of all gradations and income levels. Fact. If we don't consume our economy will fail. In our current sputtering economic times and high unemployment, the Federal Reserve has resorted to buying up government debt so new debt can be issued and so consumption can be guaranteed. These monetary policies herd U.S. citizens to consume because interest rates are almost non existant so there is no money in saving and prudence.. Much like geese are force fed to fatten their liver to produce foie gras. That's reality. That's the plan. But a collateral result produces an obese nation. Fact. Almost 70% ( notice the number?) of consumers are overweight, fat or obese. If 70% of economy is consumer based, then only 30% actually produce. The producers are necessarily not fat in their operating procedures.. It would be bad for their business model. The people we fight around the world are not fat. ever see a fat member of al Qaeda or Taliban? Who is more likely to win the wars? Who is more likely to win a healthy peace ?

Raise Money To Combat Obesity: Hang Mayor Bloomberg In Effigy

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has put forward a proposal to ban the sale of 16 ounce sugary soft drinks at restaurants in the city. He uses as his reason the fact that at least half of all city residents are overweight or obese.  He blames the sellers of the beverages. He doesn't mention that more than half of the half of all the overweight or obese people are non- white and many are city workers or are in receipt of monthly income assistance.. Rather than administratively prohibit  what food or drinks recipients of cash handouts can buy . Or impose a ban what city workers can eat or drink while on a city time clock, he choose to use a  far reaching city ordinance on people whether they be overweight or not. Isn't that so democratic? Ergo isn't that so stupid by definition?

How much do you want to fight obesity in New York and at the same time express your negative feelings about Mayor Bloomberg? I have a suggestion. How about we raffle off the right to throw a bucket of sugary water in the face of the little nanny. If that doesn't raise enough money money, how about we raffle off the right to hang him in effigy in Times Square? The proceeds will be used for hiring athletic fitness trainers to force march the overweight and obese three times a week for three hours. If herat attacks occur during the march, none of the first fifty will be tended to. This is based on the statistical evidence they would have probably died on their couch anyway -with or without exercise.

Abusive Monkey Experiments: We Should Use Humans Instead

Don't just sit there. Order a pizza, buy something on the Home Shopping Channel, order a movie and USE your credit card.

And so poor macaque monkeys with "their own arms gently restarined" learn to manipulate with only their brain waves which are wired to an artificial limb to grab and eat a marshmallow. The essence of our consumer society is now being delivered to the disabled courtesy of the hapless primate. The report is detailed in the latest edition of the scientific journal Nature.

Why use animals? Haven't we plenty of fat, demented couch potatoes who could be wired similarly? Probably some wouldn't even notice it. Or they would love to expend less energy in grabbing some potato chips and a coke while watching Oprah or some stupid game show. Merely thinking about the mouthful of stuff would be enough.

Our consumption and growth based society need all to participate. We ALL must buy and eat and buy and eat and buy and eat and buy and eat and buy and eat..........
