IT TAKES FOREVER TO CHANGE, FOR SOME

Change comes easily to some (research shows them as Libertarians and Democrats for the most part) and slowly to some others (research shows them to be mostly Republican). The Surgeon General declared cigarettes as very dangerous in the 70's but there are still people who resent having to give them up in the air space of non-smokers.

In Florida, a doctor running the health department was thrown out of his job for disparaging doughnuts. The Associated Press reports on the case of Dr. Jason Newsom, former head of the Bay County Health Department in Panama City. Dr. Newsom regularly posted warnings on an electronic sign outside the health department. According to the news service, the sign messages included:

Sweet Tea = Liquid Sugar

Hamburger = Spare Tire

French Fries = Thunder Thighs

Doughnuts = Diabetes

"A county commissioner who owns a doughnut shop and two lawyers who own a new Dunkin’ Donuts on Panama City Beach turned against him, along with some of his own employees, Newsom says. After the lawyers threatened to sue, his bosses at the Florida Health Department made him remove the anti-fried dough rants and eventually forced him to resign, he says."

It took McDonald's years to get rid of the sulfites on their lettuce and potatoes. They lied about slipping in beef fat in their French fries until they were forced to change. A recent article about reasons why most of us should not eat their food is very interesting.
