Beer Added To The Food Pyramid
Alehound writes " Beer Is Food: The US Government labeled beer(alcohol) as a drug, BeerAdvocate.com begs to differ as they inform their reader that beer can be a part of your diet in a healthy way. Beer does a body good? So the "Beer Gut" is a myth? So why the hell do I have a gut? And yes these guys do drink beer for breakfast." It's only 10 in the morning, I'm dumping out the half pot of coffee left, and cracking open a Boddingtons! Do it!
if all you needed in your diet was carbs and b vitamins
the fact that its drawing other nutrients out of your body is unimportant. You'll be too drunk to notice, and you'll be "healthy." Never mind that you can't get your fat ass off the couch - you're in top shape!
[sarcasm][taunt]And screw this "american beer" vrs "real beer" crap. Its all crap. Beer is crap. Real men drink liquor. You're all nuts.[/taunt][/sarcasm]
there's two major movements going on right now - we're in what I call the "age of reconcilation" where a few nut balls think that I need to pay for what my great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather did to someone else's great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather or whatever else nonesense crap brought on by liberal self-loathing due to feelings of guilt for things they personally did in the present, and then there's the "screw you all, I'll do what I want to" crowd that tries to justify any act, regardless if it is self-destructive or harms others, with nothing other than "I wanted to." Beer as food/a healthy part of your diet...whatever. Like I said in my last post - its getting harder and harder to tell if people are just being silly, or stupid, these days...
