Now some people have said the same about CVS not selling cigarettes: They want to know what's next. Candy? ice cream? potato chips?

To my knowledge, no food item has ever been banned. So I wonder why some people keep worrying about it. The freedom to kill ourselves eating junk food has been well established. So let's cherish it, be proud of it and keep this fine tradition going.



Damned straight. If you're born to hang, you won't drown.
