Ineffective Legislation: Calorie Counts on Menus

[KRaZyWaKa]

why pick one part of this shit bill when the whole thing is ineffective and garbage? this bill was supposed to be guaranteeing the American people health care by making it more affordable and what-not... but in fact is a fascist legislation FORCING us to spend our already strapped finances on health care. IRS imposed fines if you don't have healthcare? REALLY!? why should we be forced to pay for asomething we don't want? nevermind that income tax and the IRS is uinconstitutional to begin with!

[KRaZyWaKa]

[darisinggamer]

3:00 well yeah look at cigarettes. Smokers say it's bad for you but they still do it.

[velokaw]

Fast food is fast pretty much yeah. I cooked some brown rice yesterday for chop suey, that stuff takes 35-45 minutes to cook.

[metlguitar02]

Yeah....have the gov't make it mandatory to have people exercise..and you want to "Stop Nazi"...anyway..

[RantingRamsay]

@metlguitar02 ...not that I want them to do that or think it's a good idea, I simply said it would be a more effective means of improving America's health. I think the tone and expression with which the suggestion was delivered belies the fact that I wasn't exactly serious about it.

[metlguitar02]

@RantingRamsay

I gotcha man, I wasn't really being serious either. I just think that people bitch too much in general about how the gov't needs to prevent people from making the wrong food choices. You made a good point about we all knowingly choose to eat bad, if we do, by eating fast food.

I think people just don't care in the modern day, because most peoples lives are governed by technology and not physical fitness and seldom going outdoors for exercise.

[RantingRamsay]

@metlguitar02 Absolutely. Ultimately, your health is no one's responsibility but your own. However, one cannot deny that many chain restaurants tout on certain menu items as being "healthy" choices, when they are still high in fats and cholesterol. Unfortunately, a lot of consumers aren't smart enough to take these claims at less than face value and apply a little thought to their eating habits.

[tonymariewiseman]

Why will that be required? You would have to be a total complete retard if you need a nutritional guide for fast food, I mean C'MON!

But anyway, good job (on all of your rants) and I hope that we will see more rants to come in the future.

[RantingRamsay]

@tonymariewiseman Why? I have no idea, really. I imagine it's an effort to improve the nation's health, but I can't see it as really being very effective in that regard.

[filltheframe]

Yay for sound! Picture looks a lot cleaner too. As for it's effectiveness... well, I'm sure there are studies that prove what I already know from working retail... customers don't F-ing READ! Nor do they go searching for information. They want everything explained to them without lifting a finger. So my guess is that someone got smart to this 'ignorance' and came up with this law to combat it. Now the 'customer' can not have the excuse of 'I just didn't know'

@HorrorHound11 At the moment my primary is a Washburn. The bass on the stand in the background of my videos is an Ibanez and I have a Peavey in my closet. Usually when I go to the music shop to pick up a new bass I don't really have a specific model or brand in mind, I just see what they have to offer and which ones I think sound and play the best. If what I like doesn't have all the features I want, I have them look in the cat. for a different model of the same line.

[Synrod]

I get where you're going at. I don't remember the last time I cared about how many calories were in foods and I also agree that honestly I don't think it's going to help the problem all that much. If you were worried about high-calorie foods, then it would be somewhat helpful, but to most Americans, even my friends, we don't care all that much about calories. Nice rant RantingRamsey.

[B1rday]

I need to stare at brains with a stroke on my smokes.

Let there be a heart filled with fat on the McDs menu....uhh picture board?

[HomocidalCanineK9]

Also, I ate fast food while watching this, I am such a rebel :D

IMO if you eat 2000+ calories a day you should at least burn of 500-600 of them, I know you're supposed to only have 500 left by the end of the day but I don't have that kind of patience or time.

I just want to throw out that normal restaurants can have unhealthier foods than fast food restaurants, but nothing is being done about that.

[HomocidalCanineK9]

Uggh... effing 500 character limit...

I remember a commercial about telling people to run for at least an hour a day when I was little, although they stopped doing those for some reason.

[HomocidalCanineK9]

This is my last comment, I promise! I saw in a news report that packages in vending machines have to be turned around so the nutrition facts are visible. One problem there: HOW THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE BUYING?!

[HomocidalCanineK9]

Well, what if they put it on the menu at like font size 3? It's still there, but it's not obvious!

[theSexyKenzie]

Carb's would be more useful because diabetics need to know that information for their medicine.
