This if for all you UNAmericans who don't understand the idea of personal freedom. Sugar in the amounts that we consume is toxic to the body and carries a direct link to Type 2 Diabetes that can lead to kidney failure and heart disease. So let's get everyone on board for banning American Apple Pie! Or else wind up blind amputees having to inject yourselves daily with the hormones you no longer naturally produce.
If marijuana is illegal, then apple pie should be as well!
We all have an interest in protecting freedom- the Constitution was not set up to define laws based on opinion or moral objection

Do your homework. Cinnamon in apple pie can mimic insulin and thus aid the diabetic. Trans fats are more of a culprit in contributing to the disease.
LOL.. good analogy.
Once the government can figure out a way to tax marijuana and keep you from growing your own you'll have all the pot you want. You'll just be taxed on it.
It's no different than cigarettes and alcohol. Follow the money.
Yes. You can demonize anything. As they say, if it wasn't food 100 years ago, its not food today. Sugar isn't the culprit, it is corn syrup. But corn was more abundant than sugar and sugar came from Cuba as well as other places.
Pepsi recently had a Pepsi brand made with sugar instead of corn fructose. Why? Because our cars have started to compete for the corn by way of ethanol (but that is another argument).
Also I believe that sugar will soon be imported from Cuba as Obama opens relations, but that is another discussion as well.
The bottom line is that the Federal Government needs to get out of the bedroom and the kitchen. I don't need to know the nutritional value of a Krisy Kreme dounut. I'm eating a dounut.
but under Universal Government Rationed Healthcare if I eat too many dounuts I will be denied care. If I smoke I will be denied care. If I drink beer, I'm done.
Meanwhile if I do healthy things like snowboard, skateboard, rock climb, bungy jump, or Gen X extreme sports, you can bet I will be first online for my hip and knee replacements.
You should get a real job!
I waiting for one of dem Green Jobs that Obama promised me.
I agree with you, wemo. Let's make apple pie illegal. Make Lemon Meringue our national pie.
Making apple pie illegal would actually make legalizing Marijuana possible. The money powers could now use the smuggling of apple pie to replace lost revenues from pot smuggling. There would be no need to dismantle part of the police state because the DEA could simply be renamed the PEA. Apple pie eaters could replace the pot users in the jails.
A very workable plan!
Speaking of protecting freedom, this is a part of my regionalism post in my lostliberty blog that I did not include in "Kill the Constitution." It's from Charles Pearson's 1922 book "Our Changing Constitution."
"There is another aspect of the matter, however. The burden of federal bureaucracy is beginning to be felt by the average man. He is being regulated more and more in his meats and drinks, his morals and the activities of his daily life, from Washington. If he will only stop and think he must realize that no one central authority can supervise the daily lives of a hundred million people scattered over half a continent, without becoming top-heavy."
"In the very nature of things there is bound to be a reaction against centralization sooner or later. The real question is whether it will come in time to save the present constitutional scheme."
That was 1922! We've sunk a long way, baby!
