Twinkees Dead, Union Charged with Ho-Homicide..

[Glenn Quagmire]

Yes, I'm sure a lot of Liberals would find it strange, letting someone make their own choices vs. being told by Big Brother, what you can eat !

Encouraging the following things is a bad thing. Got it.

• Creating a healthy start for children
• Empowering parents and caregivers
• Providing healthy food in schools
• Improving access to healthy, affordable foods
• Increasing physical activity

Since when does the Federal Government 'empower' parents?

The healthy food in schools is a failure already.

Improving access to healthy, affordable foods means putting grocers in the ghetto's that left because they couldn't make a profit.

It is cheaper to eat a fattening double cheesburger from McD's than it is a salad.

You can't trust these people to think and act on their own, we need to go into homes and inspect pantries and refrigerators.

Yeah and its a personal choice.

Where did you get that from?

If supporting union workers by buying union products is important to you, those lists are a start...

Which is why these types of lists are produced...

I didn't know Powell's books in Portland was union. It's a great store.

They are, and it is. What brings that up?

Nonsense, unless you buy the salad from McD.

Of course I knew that from the start. My question is what exactly do you mean by union-friendly (I'm interested to know). Does any employer that is partially unionized get considered union friendly? Just because they have union employees doesn't mean they aren't hostile towards organized labor, negotiate in good faith, etc.

They are, and it is. What brings that up?

It was on one of the related pages to the Union Plus site you initially linked:

• Powell's Bookstore
  
  This unionized online bookstore offers an affordable and wide selection of used and new books.

I assume the retail locations are too, I always enjoy grabbing a cup of coffee and exploring the stacks on my trips to Portland. Have one coming up soon, going to fly union Alaska Air (but ground handling by non-union DL), stay in a union hotel, and shop at Powell's! Looking forward to it, I love Portland and Powell's really is a great store.

A double cheeseburger is only like a $1.25, show us where you can get a salad for that.

Show me where you can get a 99 cent salad and get full.
