The commie government agency THE FDA, wants to regulate the cheese on a pizza.

[Cecilie1200]

It was Upton Sinclair's book "The Jungle" that started this government food regulation thing. Had that not motivated the government who knows what we would be eating today.

I have no problem with regulations design to keep our food and drug supply safe.

However Dominos knows exactly how much goes into each pizza on it's menu. They can easily provide the standard information. Forcing them to do it goes beyond food safety and I don't agree with forcing them to comply.

As I proved at the beginning of this, Domino's already DOES provide very complete nutritional information about their food.

I don't have a problem with regulations regarding - for example - sanitation standards, fire safety, building codes, that sort of thing. I believe large companies like Domino's have no particular desire to slack off on that stuff, because I think they want to stay in business for the long haul, but I think it's necessary to be able to impose legal punishments on any unscrupulous people who turn up and want to cut corners.

In the case of posting nutritional info all over the store, I'm afraid I just don't consider that to be of the same importance or require the existence of legal punishments. And since it's noticeably NOT aimed at the sort of small businesses where one is likely to find unscrupulous, fly-by-night sleazeballs, it seems wholly pointless to me.

I'm sure it would be dead stray animals off of garbage dumpsters, because God knows we're all MUCH too stupid to feed ourselves appropriately without the government to tie on our bibs and hand us a safety spork.

Never read "The Jungle" eh? The book is about the stock yards in Chicago and the products, they and others, sold to the public as pure food. The food that came out of the Yards and other plants at the time was meant for those that believed they could tell pure food from contaminated food, and they could not.

There is nothing wrong with government regulations to tell us about food we don't know about. It's why restaurants have inspections by the government. It's why they have standards and rules. It's why they can't keep a pork chop under the heat lamp for four hours.

But what we are talking about here is government making regulation to provide us with information we can find ourselves. I don't know that the kitchen I'm getting food from has a mouse problem because customers are not allowed in the kitchen area, but I can find out what kind of calories their meals contain.

Why does the right always disagree with something as basic as knowing what they eat and drink?

You can CHOOSE to change or not. You can CHOOSE to educate yourself or not. But, why shouldn't I have the right to know what I'm eating? Why are you so against that?

Because its a burden on Mr. Businessman who's barely eking out a living as it is.

To provide it to you in state-of-the-20th-century-art format when it's already available on the Internet from any smart phone? Yeah, that's a ridiculous burden to go through because you can't bear the "intolerable effort" necessary to open Google.

Not everyone can afford a smart phone, or a data plan. And they’re precisely the kind of people who need to be seeing this information.

It’s very elitist to think that everyone has access to the internet, orders online or is computer savvy or that the world should only cater to those who do.

Bullshit. You can access the Internet from any number of public locations for free. You can buy cheap burner phones with Internet access capabilities at every supermarket, Walmart, and gas station in the country. Hell, the government GIVES away phones to poor people. The going rate for crappy, no-contract cell phone services runs between $15-$25 a month.

If that's still too "elitist" for you, how in the holy hell are you buying Domino's in the first damned place?!

Every public library has computers and free internet access. You can spend all day there if you desire.

As someone who has studied history and actually read Marx, let me assure you: there are few things funnier than watching ignoramuses use words like "commie" incorrectly.

You Republicans will just have to trust me on that.

There were several hidden gems in the 2010 Obamacare Act. I think we’ve all seen how our premiums have taken off, or the fact that our doctors were smart and either went into concierge medicine or stopped accepting your crappy insurance. But now, it seems like the wizards of wellness that were released with this monstrosity want to regulate your pizza.

Yep. On May 7th all businesses that sell food and have 20 or more locations to post calories in a place where their customers can see them. The FDA thinks it’s a great idea for these calories to be put on the walls of the establishment.

Why? Why do businesses have to go to all this trouble and expense to post the nutrition info on their delicious, affordable food? Because the nanny state demands it. You see, the nanny state wants to nudge you into different behaviors. Therefore, if the nutrition information is posted on the wall, you might see that the #2 Combo at Whataburger will probably take up most of your caloric intake for the day. If you have that info, the nanny staters say, you will make healthier choices. Because you’re fat and too stupid to realize that eating that double meat double cheese with bacon and extra large fries is causing you to be fat.

The regulation requires that the nutrition info be posted in stores, which is problematic for at least one major category of fast food—pizza.

Think about it—Domino’s estimates that there are 34 MILLION different combinations available to their customers. The government wants the person who walks into the Domino’s store to be able to see EXACTLY how many calories their 16 inch hand tossed crust with extra sauce, four kinds of cheese, green peppers, olives, and every meat known to a delicatessen will set them back. That kind of info has to be posted for every combination. In the store.

But, the FDA is refusing to look at reality here. According to one Domino’s franchisee who owns 18 stores, 90% of his customers don’t come into his store at all. They either order on-line, through the app, or occasionally call. They. Do. Not. Come. In. The. Store. So, they won’t have access to all this nanny state goodness.

Do not worry though. The left wing rich white elitists can have all of the cheese they want. Just like THEY can live behind walls. Just like THEY can be protected by guns. Just like THEY can have enormous carbon footprints.

However, the middle class cannot.

So you snowflakes only bitch about the size and over-reach of the federal govt when a Republican is in charge, huh?!

Mwuhahahaha....

You Republicans will just have to trust me on that.

It must be frustrating though, to have socialism so wildly misunderstood. How can we convince them that giving up their rights to government is the true path to nirvana?

Sooooo, communism has nothing to do with government AGENCIES interjecting mass regulation on the masses?

Since you "studied" so extensively, tell all of us about China, Mao, the FOUR OLDS, and the youth wearing red scarfs and being brainwashed.

Go ahead and tell all of us about those first steps of a marxist revolution. Tell all of us about the Bolsheviks bully tactics, the BROWN shirts, the red guard and khmer rouge. Then try comparing it to the bully tactics of BLM or ANTIFA as they wear che Guevara t shirts.


Yeah, nothing in common at all. Meanwhile all of our old ways are being changed. Trying to rip down statues and they will eventually get rid of Jefferson and Washington from our history. Eventually they will burn the constitution.

Yeah, you are so fucking educated. Meanwhile one of those fucking AGENCIES is regulating CHEESE ON A FUCKING PIZZA.

You are probably stupid enough to think it truly is about "health concerns." Yeah, nothing to do with finding ways to regulate small business. Naaaaah. Not on a attack on the free MARKET under the guise of "safety."

Your education, sucks.

If Mouse droppings have calories that is one thing but how do mouse droppings taste?

The government should ban anchovies on pizza because they’re disgusting.

How about it, Trump?

It's complete madness. The usual leftist control freaks are pounding at rights of Americans again.

If you want to see caloric information here is a tip: stop eating at places which don't have it. The leftists are dumb enough to think that people are consuming all those calories because they don't know that fat on top of fat with some sugar added isn't high in calories.

If you look at the mirror and then confirm with a scale that you are 300 pounds overweight, here is a other tip: stop eating at said places. But of course, the far leftist would rather blame it on the lack of caloric information than on himself. This despite the fact that the leftist can not do math anyway.

The second you start arguing the issue, is the second they got you. Not one issue the left bring up are about the issues they bring up.

First of all, none of them care one bit about the issue. However, those stupid programmed puppets just yell and scream and push the party line. Therefore, you will get nowhere trying to be logical. They all fear ever sounding like or siding with any conservative. Look at Kanye West. They have always been patronizing racist intolerant gasbags who shuns and hates everyone that is not in lock step with their chants. It has only gotten worse over the years.

Instead, just point out the real reason they push their agenda. Point out it is all about control and the tearing down of the small business owner in order to usher in the new world order, which is the same as the old world order. FEUDALISM .

The left wing monkies that post here are not smart enough to know they are yapping puppets of their socialist gods.

So, getting into logical debates only plays into their game. That way when you resist they can go right to their race cards, robin fairly tale about "party of the rich," and how we love to pollute the planet.

They are losers. CHEESE ON A PIZZA! Lol!
