So true. It has a tendency to deteriorate into arguments and even name calling and that's bad, though not quite a sin.Quote:

What health reforms? All I'm aware of is they changed the food pyramid.

That wasn't the intention. Here in the UK we have a public school elite who run the political parties.Quote:

seems to support that idea in so far as it's worse than I thought. Now not looking after your own people let alone anyone else - that's a sin.
Well, if people vote for them they get what they deserve.Quote:

But Darcy...I can't really see Chinese food (or at least MOST Chinese foods) that can really be off limits to a diet. I just made some stir fry last night for a group of friends.
