Nanny State Alert: Gov. Palin Urged “Healthy Habits In Eating” For Alaskans | Media Matters for America


Palin's 2009 comments


"It starts by ending destructive habits, and beginning healthy habits in eating and exercise. In my case, it’s hard to slack when you have the ever-present example of an Iron Dogger nearby. But many of us could use a little more time in our great outdoors – and when you live in the Great Land, there’s no excuse.

Protecting good health is largely a matter of personal responsibility, but government policy can help. Our new Alaska Health Care Commission will recommend changes that affect the well-being of Alaskans far into the future."

It official, Palin was Nanny Grizzly,

Ahahahaha I love it! Surely the repubs are Apollo anti nanny state thatthey will call out there own like a true patriot.....



Sike...they're just pretenders

Recommending isn't legislating.

I recommended that my wife quit smoking like I did.

I didn't demand that I knew better than her and force her to quit.

See the difference?

I think your post will fall on deaf ears and bounce off of closed minds.

Michelle Obama "recommended" and everyone went ape shit but now you can see the difference between "recommending" and "demanding" only when it's Pailin. Nope no bias here lol

to where I said anything about Michelle Obama.


A Nanny State is where you are forced "for your own good".

Banning trans-fats and outlawing smoking in bars and restaurants...that's the Nanny State.

Look at the thread where San Francisco want to outlaw circumcision...that the Nanny State.

I hate nanny states.....

This is America..eat what you want,when you want

Love a good mooseburger

If I want to deep fry my polar bear it is my own god damn business

Mind your own business Palin

Are we really so sure we want our Government telling us what we can or can't eat? Look at the current state of our Government. They don't seem to get much right in my opinion. There are also much bigger things for them to be worried about. They can stay out of our eating habits.

 

[Avorysuds]

Is this even a real thread? Did Palin (not a person I like at all btw) push policy or pass a bill that required the eating habits of people to be altered?

How can "you people" (political retards) have a coherent debate on issues when as in this case, you prove you don't even know wtf "nanny state" means.

These threads are getting more and more moronic by the day, wtf is going on? Hell, you know it’s a crap thread because RW jumped right in to prove how little he knows wtf he’s talking about.
Please, try, I dare you… Try and prove this is equivalent to a “nanny state.” I mean, you made a fucking thread about it, so how can you be so clueless?


BTW, I can't wait for all the people that normally support this crap to jump all over this thread (like RW) because it's a woman, er, I mean a Rep... eh, uhmm, I mean Palin that said it.

Is she proposing specific Legislation or just urging. I don't think people have a problem with the First Lady or Palin urging better eating habits. Now if they're proposing passing Laws on what you can or can't eat,that's a whole different ballgame. I think that's what most people were criticizing the First Lady on. We don't need her or the Government monitoring our Salt intake. So show me the Legislation Palin is proposing or has proposed on this. Thanks.

 

[Avorysuds]

from what I see it's just her saying they will "recomend" ideas on better eating... When she was Govnah.

"Our new Alaska Health Care Commission will recommend changes that affect the well-being of Alaskans far into the future."


To be clear, a simple google would have helped the OP and many on the left.

So in no way is it "nanny state."

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Urging and passing Laws are two very different things.

What are you talking about?

WOW!!

You have the worst case of PDS ever!

You went through all her stuff to dig something up from 2009!

I don't normally tell people to start drinking, but in your case.

Go to the local booze store, get a bottle of 151 rum, some coke, some ice, a big cup, mix , drink and keep going until the bottle is empty.

If you still feel the urge to all Palin all the time. Repeat above steps everyday until cured.
