LA Times Demonstrates Liberals Cluelessness About Basic Economics

All of this concern about our collective "health" makes no sense. Our concern is medical care cost, right? Well dead people don't need medical care. If I eat five Big Macs every day and die when I'm 50 years old, I will ultimately be much less of a net cost to the medical care infrastructure than if I eat nothing but bean sprouts and live to be 110. We are all going to die of something. The mortality rate is holding steady at 100%.

In the house where I grew up burgers and pizza was something served perhaps 1-2 days a month. We had fish for dinner at least 3 times a week, the year around. Salads and boiled potatoes were standard supplements.There were always fresh fruit available for "snack" between meals. Bread was whole wheat and home made. Lunch was something my mother packed every day. Two slices of homemade bread, cheese, one apple and milk/orange juice. And we ate everything she served without a winze. Why? Cause children are like dogs. When they get hungry enough, they will eat what they get. The end result from our diet was healthy bodies and a lifelong taste for home-made cooking and non-greasy dinners.
