2) Inspite of all attempts to practice moderation, the average person gains about one pound per year. That's good for the weight-loss industry.

3) As people eat more and more processed foods and gain more weight they become more prone to illness and disease. That's good for the healthcare industry.

4) At some point people die and that's good for the funeral-parlor and cremation industry.

In general, talk show hosts don't dislike any of the above 4 steps. Why should they? As marketers, their interests and benefits are the same as those of the above industries. And they can't pick and choose which of the above 4 steps to like or dislike. It's all one long assembly line to the grave as far as they are concerned. To survive in their jobs they have to embrace all 4 steps as one complete package.

This is why Bloomberg, and others like him, need to be vilified. Being pro-health in any shape or form is anti-industry, is it not?

I think this post is the craziest conspiracy paranoia I've ever read. Where do you get this stuff?

I'm talking about foul mouthed posts, first by Dale and now by you.

Your crudeness here is only surpassed by your incomprehension of what you're reading.

I guess you think this adds to your charm.

My how testy you are in regards to your hero. I think limbaugh is comtemptable, just my unshakable opinion, you are entitled to yours.

The only hate he incites comes from those like you that can't stand that he's almost always proven correct.

I did a Yahoo! search and found a more balanced, less emotional, description of the baby-formula issue. Search the following: "Everybody Chill: Bloomberg Does Not Want To Ban Your Baby Formula"

What appeared in the New York Post was an emotional knee-jerk reaction against the formula policy and I think that's why Rush Limbaugh loved it and latched on to it.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion about Limbaugh, however unjust it might be. He sticks in your craw. I'm sure he'd truly be tickled to hear it.

But, I was not speaking to you. I was speaking to those posters who have no way to express themselves with any civility and resort to vile words that they would not use in.....say a church. You know what I saying, even if you just want to be contrary, as is your usual reaction to much of what I say.

The cursing does nothing to add to the arguments of these foul mouthed posters.

You can say many words about me, but crudeness is not one of them.
