There is a reason it's universally referred to as 'junk food'. Heck, they can't even legally call it food. Milkshakes are 'shakes' because they have no milk. French fries are 'fries' because they have no potato. Fillet of fish is 'filet-o-fish' because it's just reconstituted garbage. Come on Bob, if you went to a real reastaurant and ordered ribs would you be satisfied if they served up reconstituted dog-food that's been molded into vaguely rib-like shapes? McCrappolds sets the bar very low indeed.

The term "junk food" is another left-wing liberal term. There is no such think as a junk food. People may have inadequate diets, but that's too technical for the likes of you.

No actually the term junk food was used by a non-profit group that coined the term because of its lack of nutritional value bob, which makes it socialist. I really wish you would keep up.

That said though people calling MDs crap is more to do with it being a crap food base, that is pretty much utter crap, and regardless of nutritional value, wich of course it has very little; if we meant value in terms of food nutrition we would of said value in terms hence, not that it's tasteless bland crap that I personally would be reticent to feed my dog.

Liberals people who want bang for buck, socialists people who make jack shit and just want value over capitalist profit, it's not that hard bob.

Interesting point. Responsible dog owners would literally not want to feed their dogs on McCrappolds because they know their dog probably wouldn't live long if they did.

In free-market capitalism, you always have a level playing field.

[Blaggard]

Do you Pluto and where is this magic playing field? That quote was meaningless, if you want to make a point make one, but don't lazily post something someone else said, as if by magic that makes it true? That's the rhetoric of the insipid, you should know better. Not that I am saying you are wrong of course, just that you are just meh...

Everything has nutritional value. It's the total diet that must be evaluated. Yes, I can believe the term "junk food" was coined by a non-profit, left-wing liberal group that wants to dictate everything you eat with government enforcement (like the Mayor of New York City banning large soft drinks).

Yes, a left-wing, liberal socialist who wants to control your entire life from cradle to grave.

[Blaggard]

Politics bob it's not black and white. You do of course try hard to make it black, but you do often just fail. A liberal bob wants only to let people do what they want, from their cradle to their grave.

Congratulations, you have succeeded in turning black into white. Now try turning lead into gold.

Bob who cares there are real socialists and then there are those you make up. I am in all honesty not a socialist. Although the way you seem to go about socialism I genuinely wish I was.

I'm not Bob, I am a liberal, I don't think socialism or communism is a viable system, for one it places more value on social goals where people work together for the greater good, instead of expecting an unequal society and that is just not realistic. It's not Star Trek Bob we are not in a position to stop money meaning the world, or people wanting to basically use score systems to promote their sense of self worth over just letting everyone get on. In 10,000 years maybe such a system might work, but we can be assured it wont at the moment any more than libertarianism does, because it's a blind system based on a race of people and their views that does not reflect them. The centre of politics says neither communism or conservatism works, it must be balanced amongst both. A socialist would never say that, they would say that at the end of the day there should be no profit, there should be no wealth but a collective one, and there should hence be no capitalism or any sort of means for money to make you somehow better than another person. That is a real socialist bob.

Money makes the world go round bob, we have to be realistic about human nature, neither socialists or libertarians are and it is why their systems have never been tried.

I'm not Bob, I am a liberal.

If somebody looks like a socialist, acts like a socialist, and talks like a socialist, he probably is a socialist. The word liberal is merely euphemistic.

No it's not bob, or at least not in the rest of the world. Although maybe in America where you confuse two right-wing parties as being left and right rather than center and far.

My point is that you can call yourself whatever you want, but you either believe that people should be able to live their lives without government interference or you don't. You either believe in free-market capitalism or you don't. And let's face it, in the USA there's not a whole lot of difference between liberals and socialists on these issues.

[Arising_uk]

Define what you mean by interference? As free-market capitalism needs government to exist.
