Bit of an insult to all those people who voted for her.

 

 

   The people who voted for her appear to have gotten over her. Obvious from the ongoing posts who is not over Hillary, and who is not approaching this in a rational way.

Why are we even taking about Hillary and Trump? The thread is about calories and eating healthier not them.

It's known as six degrees of Kevin Bacon. You could associate any topic with Trump or Hillary in less than six posts.

Because in the first 8 posts the usual fat orange blah blah blah posters with TDS made it about politics, and rambling idiotic non sense about Trump, McDonalds etc.

 

Of course it never fails.You could post about Moon rocks and its going to turn into the same 3 or 4 people making absurd comments about Trump. 

 

Odd thing is we keep asking them to give us 4 or 5 things that have gotten way worse and all they got is Cheetos and insults.

The Office of the Presidency, his behavior, our standing on the world stage, his constant lying. With a booming economy his approval rating is still stuck at 41% why is that? He should be merrily swimming along in the 60s right now.

Point proven.

1. Do they have to include calories of drinks? That would be a big deal

2. There isn't great evidence that it works, but it's low cost so why not

Interestingly the possible benefits aren't just consumers reducing calories, but the restaurants ultimately reduce the calories of their menu items when they are displayed.

 

1. Yes they do usually.

 

I don't really believe some of the numbers they come up with for counts, but honestly I still don't understand how anyone could think those sodium totals are ok in a low calorie meal.

 

But it's only for chain places anyway. Your average place isn't posting counts. I'd rather go to our favorite local place and not know the calorie count than go to a subpar chain anyway. Except Cheesecake Factory... I know how much it is and I don't care.

It just shows how terrible of a President he really is. He took a growing and thriving economy and its been getting better but his approval ratings have barely moved. Over the past year its been fluctuating between 37 to 42 percent. Appalling really. Obama at this point of his Presidency never went below 48%.

Carry on with the calorie debate knowing how bad of a President the Fat Orange Nixon is

Once again you got one measurable stat that is worse than when he took office.

So you think it is OK for our President to act and behave the way he does?

    So instead of getting things back on track, you thought it would make things better if you added Hillary into the mix?

I never understand their obsession with Hillary. Hillary was forgotten in 2016 but for some reason the Fat Orange Nixon and his supporters always seem to bring her back up when something controversial is going on inside the White House. It is a classic deflection move to take attention away from the terrible President we have now.
