Terrence, was there cocaine in the CocaCola when Teddy Roosevelt wanted it outlawed? Coke is a very nasty drug, but subsequent generations of Americans have very short memories and always have to destroy themselves, without remembering history. I do think certain foods might be outlawed. Could we start with that huge cheeseburger that has onion rings and barbecue sauce on it, the one that the military action figure is arrested for eating in the new tv ad campaign? No one should ever eat anything like that! In a recent Newsweek article about the new potato chips make from Olestra, the new no fat fat, a nutritionist observes that in a study, people who knew they were eating them just ate twice as many as they would have of regular chips, since they have half as many calories. The nutritionist remarked that we have stopped eating out of hunger, and now we are just eating!! Food is way too conveniently available in America, and this situation is ruining the public health.
