There were the usual rebuttals of "ahh but obesity doesn't harm other people". These people should really watch out because the health nutters will do anything to make the public loathe anyone who doesn't worship at the altar of "health" as evidenced by this utterly ludicrous article http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/put-your-mindset-work/201208/4-ripple-effects-second-hand-fatV Halehttp://twitter.com/virgehallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-84114236604911523832013-05-07T07:56:06.294+01:002013-05-07T07:56:06.294+01:00I don't get the argument about smokers changin...I don't get the argument about smokers changing brands, it is of no relevance. The point is that different cigarettes taste slightly different, and they would still taste slightly different if they were in plain packaging.Mark Wadsworthhttp://profiles.google.com/gmwadsworthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-648530130323755042013-05-07T04:21:11.890+01:002013-05-07T04:21:11.890+01:00I am not very clever at extracting pics from here ...I am not very clever at extracting pics from here and there, but you are Dick P. <br /><br />Ms Gold is anti-tobacco, but not anti-flab.<br /><br />Ms Nathanson is also anti-tobacco and anti-alcohol but not anti-flab.<br /><br />Ms Kate Moss is NOT anti-smoking and is NOT anti-alcohol and IS anti-flab.<br /><br /><br /><br />Which is telling the truth? Whom do you believe? Do you believe the delectable Ms Moss, or do you believe the gross others? <br /><br /><br />-------------<br /><br /><br />This is not as silly as it may seem. <br /><br /><br />If it were not for the gross over-estimate of tobacco smoking harm, OBESITY might well have been the recognised factor in heart DISEASE, lung DISEASE, and every other DISEASE. In fact, such DISEASES (being fat and fat and fat again) might not be DISEASES - they might be CHEMICAL PROCESSES. <br /><br /><br />The Health Zealots try to bamboozle us with foreign words, too numerous to mention. But we can comfort ourselves with the following reasonable knowledge:<br /><br /><br />1. Bacteria are actually living 'bugs'. They are 'living things'. They can multiply and take-over your bladder, for example, and stop your bladder from doing its job. <br />2. Viruses are 1000 times smaller than bacteria and are not 'living things'. But they can replicate and spread and cause harmful chemical effects on our bodies. <br />3. Enzymes are simply chemical entities. They are just strings of chemical combinations. Within every one of the billions of cells in our bodies, there are enzymes. <br /><br /><br />It is extremely sad that the Medical Establishment has allowed the word DISEASE to lose all meaning. One can understand that malaria can be described as a 'disease', but one cannot understand the idea that a heart condition is a 'disease'. I am 73 years old an in good heath, but my right leg aches a little all the time. Is my right leg diseased? Don't be silly! My little body is getting old and is thus not as able to repair breakdowns as easily and as rapidly as it used to do. Is my heart also becoming aged? Of course it is! Ageing is not a disease - it is the breakdown of chemical processes within the body, consequent upon the 'wearing out' of repair mechanisms. <br /><br /><br />It is sad that Tobacco Control have all the slick mantras. It is sad that TC has classed all humans as 'typical' (meaning 'all constructed bodily exactly the same'). Only by doing so can TC maintain its grip.Junicannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-54596841625606613932013-05-06T20:58:39.264+01:002013-05-06T20:58:39.264+01:00Now THAT is a fisking!
