Comment on Public trust

  Except that it is a proven fact that public health care costs less per capita than private, so actually it sounds less expensive. The people lobbying to keep it private are the only ones who stand to lose and their brainwashed army of sycophants can’t understand anything beyond the points they’ve been trained to parrot.

    So I would love public healthcare but what’s the reason that public is cheaper

    This came off snarkier than I intended I’m just curious

      what’s the reason that public is cheaper

      The number of middlemen is removed and their profit motive is removed from the equation.

      Plenty of information out there, they shouldn’t need to take the time to do that for you

  I blame the obesity epidemic on the weak ass FDA and nutrition labeling. A ‘serving’ is whatever the hell they feel like making it - I’ve seen 1/3 of a cookie, a single tick tack (rounded down to 0g sugar), and every other arbitrary amount so actually comparing products takes so much time that most dont bother. Combine this with the fact that 90% of restaurants dont even bother giving you any information at all so you have to cook or go to specific big chains to actually track calories.

    Sugar free cookies! Serving size 1/100th of a cookie, round the grams of sugar down to zero! May as well, what’re they going to do? Stop you?

  Smokers?! Have you ever been to France? It’s like a trip back in time to 80s America, with a smoker on every street corner and an ash tray on every cafe patio table.
