Meatless
What?????
Before
I begin this rant, please read the following article
Now
I thought New York City was bad. Our esteemed Mayor Bloomberg is
responsible for the following:
No smoking in public buildings
(including bars and restaurants), restaurants keeping their salt and
fat content in check (no salt on tables, no fat in food over a
certain amount), removing sodas and juices from public schools, bike
lanes and pedestrian walkways in Manhattan, halting food donations to
homeless until he can asses the salt and fat content (especially heinous during the Hurricane Sandy crisis), and last but
not least the banning of large sugary drinks. That means, if you go
to a concert, movie, or sporting event, you will NOT be able to buy a Big
Gulp.........
Now
comes Los Angelos' legislation of Meatless Mondays. Without saying
this is a communist and Marxist concept. They say this is being done
to preserve the environment, cut down on killing animals, and save
the human race from eating too much meat and high cholesterol.
I
wonder, do people know that the evil cholesterol is an essential
component needed for brain function? Remove too much of it and human
beings start suffering the early effects of Alzheimer's disease.
This is especially prevalent in people who take Statin drugs.
Alas,
I am not a doctor, nurse, nurse practitioner, or physician's assistant, so I will digress.....
My
direct concern is this trend towards Nanny State-ism that we seem to be barreling headlong towards. Where the government dictates what we eat, and not our own God given common sense.
According
to this article Meatless Monday is merely a suggestion to residents
that they not eat meat on Mondays. I'm just wondering how long will
it be until meat will be banned on Mondays? I'm talking stores NOT selling meat on Mondays. Restaurants not preparing and serving meat based meals on
Mondays. Think I'm crazy? Look what's happened in New York City!
I
don't care what they legislate. This is a free country (whats left
of it) and I as a responsible citizen have the right to make the
decision to eat what I want. If YOU want to eat shoots and leaves
like a Koala Bear, YOU eat it! I still love my Quarter Pounders and
my grilled spare ribs, and barbecue chicken! Thank You Very Much!
