The Food Nazis are headed your way!

Get ready. Get some placards and pickets ready because we've got another injustice which needs able bodies to stand-up, make some noise and make a difference--kind of like "hope & change." We're talking about "Food Justice." That's right, food justice.

Google "food justice" and you'll get an idea that here is another movement of "whiners" percolating just beneath the surface.

I'm sure many of you reading this are ready to sign-up for the food justice movement. You probably lost sleep last night because you were worrying about the current food injustice that exists here in America.

What am I talking about? What is Tracie McMillan talking about in her book, "The American Way of Eating?" I won't link to her book because I would hope you have better things to do with your time. This is an author who has apparently hates capitalism. It oozes out her writings.

Food justice is about everybody in the U.S. at any place, being able to eat fresh, well-prepared food. Now, that means that if you have access to a Caesar salad and choose to eat a Big Mac, Ms. McMillan and the food Nazis will help you make the right choice by taxing the Big Mac or your Dairy Queen Blizzard. If you don't think this can happen, just look at the attack on cigarettes with a move on to even make it illegal to smoke in your own car or home. You see, whatever the group, be they smoke Nazis or food Nazis, they are not happy until they can control and regulate how you live your life.

If you don't believe me, just look at what the Food Nazis have done in public schools. In most schools, kids can't buy a Coke, or candy bar. Some schools in Chicago and North Carolina are not allowing kids to bring certain items in their school lunches. Many schools already ban anything made with peanut butter. How did we ever survive growing up eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? In many schools, students go through the lunch line and are told that they have to choose at least one healthy item like carrots or broccoli which invariably gets thrown in the trash.

This just in (5/31/12): NY Bans Over-sized sugary drinks (front page headline in USA Today). The proposed first-in-the-nation ban would impose a 16-ounce limit on the size of sweetened drinks sold at restaurants, movie theaters, sports venues and street carts. It would apply to bottled drinks as well as fountain sodas. (This is what I'm talking about.) The Food Nazis know better than you what you should eat & drink. So first, it's sugary sodas which area already banned from many public schools. Then it will be sugary snacks. Then Quarter-pounders, and KFC fried chicken. This is only the beginning. The Food Nazis will not be happy until you diet consists of tofu, salads and hummus. Don't get me wrong, I eat as much hummus as the next guy, and love salads. But it's my choice. I don't want it being forced down my throat by Michael Bloomberg in NYC or some other bureaucrat.

Food Justice is about making healthy food available in every corner of the U.S. including the inner city ghetto. But they won't stop there, they will want to change the menus at McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King & Taco Bell, as well as school menus. They will also propose additional taxes on junk food and sooner-or-later, you'll see food justice lawsuits, just as the environmental movement has made its advancements via lawsuits.

  • What would it take for all of us to eat healthy? But why stop there.
  • What would it take for all of us to have a new car?
  • What would it take for all of us to have 52" flat screen tvs along with a high-def DVR?
  • What would it take for all of us to have access to free birth control pills?
  • What would it take for all of us to have a summer home on the beach?
  • What would it take for all of us to air conditioning?
  • What would it take for all of us to have free prescriptions?
  • What would it take for all of us to have free childcare?
  • What would it take for all of us to have free tuition to the college or university of our choice? 
  • What would it take for all of us to have free medical care? (Oh, we've already got it. Obamacare.)
If any of the above strike your fancy, then there is a movement just waiting for you to start.Who knows, like Tracie McMillan, you might get a book deal and find yourself as a guest being interviewed on MSNBC or CNN where they're always looking for the next new left-wing movement.

Little Things eventually reach a tipping point


Little things matter. Little things can turn around the upcoming November election.
Little things pile up inside people's minds and eventually reach a tipping point.
Little things being forced down our throats eventually bring us to the point where voters in November are going to say, "enough is enough!"

What little things? I'm talking about "little things" like:

  • No longer being able to purchase an incandescent light bulb because of government mandate. Why should I be forced to buy an expensive light bulb which is less effective and even more dangerous in terms of disposal?
  • In Massachusetts, mandated by school officials: No more baked goods allowed in schools, and there is an effort to extend this ban to football games, weekend activities.
  • Gay brainwashing propaganda in our elementary, junior and senior high schools. It's currently taking place in elementary schools in NY, MA, and Los Angeles
  • Little things like seeing your electric bill go up because your local utility is forced to buy subsidized wind-generated power.
  • Little things like knowing that you're forced to put ethanol into your gas tank even though it's detrimental to the life of your engine, and then you hear that the EPA has MANDATED the percentage of Ethanol increase from 10% to 15%.
  • Little things like seeing your president stonewall the Keystone XL Pipeline time and time again, preventing the overnight creation of thousands of jobs.
  • Little things like hearing your President take all the credit for killing Osama Bin-Laden at the expense of the Navy Seals who did all the heavy lifting, and put their lives on the line. The President was dragged off the 6th hole of a golf course for a photo op of him watching the killing of Osama Bin-Laden.

  • The bias and lies of the media which insult our intelligence with their reporting and phony polls. Many Americans have had it with a media which never vetted Obama, never looked into his academic transcripts but will do an anal exam regarding Mitt Romney. Americans have had it with a media that is in the tank for one party and thinks that those who disagree with them are yahoos, hayseed hicks, bigots with their gun-racks, blue-collar idiots, gun-toting right-wing religious extremists. BTW, those are President Obama's words and thoughts as well.
  • Little things like being told when and where you can smoke (I don't smoke but I resent the fact that smokers are treated as 2nd class citizens yet our federal and state governments loving filling their coffers with tax money from cigarettes). The Anti-Smoking Nazis won't be satisfied until they can ban smoking in private homes and cars.
  • Little things like being told what you can and cannot eat. The Food Nazis are now mandating what food can and can't be brought by your child to public schools.
  • Little things like watching your President attack the Supreme Court and question their right to rule on Obamacare.
  • Little things like Nancy Pelosi saying regarding the Obamacare bill: "You'll know what's in it once we pass it."
  • Little things like statements from Sen. Max Baucus (MT) to a question as to whether he had read the 2409-page healthcare bill:
“I don’t think you want me to waste my time to read every page of the health care bill. You know why? It’s statutory language,” Baucus said. “We hire experts.” 
  • Little things like seeing your president and his family take their 12th vacation of the year when you can't afford to even take one vacation.
  • Little things like hearing your president call-out private citizens as enemies. Little things like the President of the United States having an "enemies' list" which rightly served to bring down Nixon and will hopefully contribute to Obama's demise as well. When in the history of this nation has a sitting President seen fit to attack, shame and threaten      private citizens for contributing to an opponent's campaign? It's currently taking place in the White House by a President who is acting out everything he read in Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals."
  • Little things like hearing our President demonize fossil fuel and demonizing Big Oil which daily contributes to our well-being and our Amercan way of life.

  • Little things like being told that a snail, rat or spotted owl is more important than a human being or private property or the construction of a bridge or new homes.
  • Little things like hearing our President and the Democrats divide the people of this country along racial and gender lines.
  • Little things like watching our President attack job-creating corporations.
  • Little things like reading that a private company like Boeing Aircraft cannot re-locate their business to South Carolina without the President siding with his best buds and supporters: the unions, the Labor Dept. and then attacking Boeing. A sitting president attacking a private company and dictating where they can or cannot locate their business!!
