Having the conversation??? . . . Cripes. How about we save some time and just skip all of this (and her) inane, ignorant blather and jump to the very last page —
Poverty is
a— the — life threatening disease. Contract it, be born with with, inherit it through some familial predisposition — doesn't really matter — your quality of life will be non-existant. Let's end it, huh? . . .(PS. Senator — forget the deflection; the more your mouth is open, the more you sound like what you are . . . ignorant and foolish. Perhaps those are the two predispositions you might want to take the chance to educate yourself about?)
Ronald McDonald and Mayor McCheese are gonna be pissed.
Here's a tip for Marble. Ssssshhhh. Quit talking. If you must, when asked about it again, say: "It was a terrible choice of words, and I got called out on it. There are real issues we should be talking about. Racism–including an unconscious and inadvertant kind–is one of them, but so is poverty and the affects it has on poor diet choice and vice versa. I meant to speak to that, but I did so poorly."
You can't put them big words in Ms. Marbles' mouth, CT. At least not successfully. She can't pronounce 'em. Doubt if she even knows what inadvertent means. Sheesh.
If Marble thinks obesity is a problem only for African American poor people she must not get out much. Being overweight is now pretty much the norm for middle class to affluent white people and obesity among such people is as common as dirt. Has this woman been on a plane lately?
She might also be interested to know that it's not easy to eat enough healthy food to stave off hunger on food stamps or a low income, regardless of race (most of the folks on food stamps and other public assistance are white, after all), nor is it easy for people in poor neighborhoods without cars to access large markets with lower prices.
But we wouldn't want to embarrass a person so obviously challenged by the multiple disabilities of ignorance, a world view blighted by racist stereotypes and a compulsion to keep digging. Who wants to volunteer to have quit word with her and everyone else like he? Warning: It could take a while to reach each and every one privately but public challenges to the public statements of these blameless victims of unfortunate disabilities is so rude.
that would be a quiet word.
..and in true Republican form, the Senator would have no issue on how those veggies were made possible as a "side" to the [once] pink slime that was the ingredient in said Big Mac. I have little doubt that if the pink slime had become an issue our state legislature had to take a position on, her caucus would have been staunchly defending McDonald's manufacturing process.
Stupidity and lies.
The right rails against Mayor Bloomberg's law mandating that all restaurants include nutritional information on their menues. Obmamacare rolls out the same mandate for any food businees with more than 50 locations next year.
Knowing the nutritional content of your food is mandatory for good health. Most Americans couldn't read a nutritional label if their life depended on it (and it does.) Where does the party of big business stand on mandating such information sharing? It's socialism or some other word they don't know the meaning of.
Marble saying she justs wants the information out there is lying.
What????!!!! Is Vicki Marble some sort of Marxist-Socialist-Nazi bleeding heart LIBERAL?
Next thing you know she's gonna try and force us all to save money by signing up for health insurance due to Obamacare, or worse SINGLE-PAYER insurance from Canada!
1. I never eat the Big Mac. Too expensive.
2. I eat 2 $1 chicken sandwiches merged. One bun and 2 chickens and 2 lettuces and mayo. Mayonaise is a vegetable? Right? Oil is a veggie, I think. And, eggs are fruits from chickens. Veggie, fruit, whatever.
3. $1.19 fries. I knows that fries is a veggie. Or a tuber. Sometimes life is too confusing.
4. But, too piss of Vicki, I always drink diet soda. I am pretty sure she is a sugar beet supporter and a supporter of the Fanjul family.
