Ask anyone who (like myself) suffers from IBS...fiber keeps you regular. Fiber also makes you feel full, thus helping keep people from overeating. This article from NIH has links to several other good sources on why fiber is important.
We all understand that "processed" foods have lost some of their original nutrients. But there's no standard for how much of those are lost, or what "processed" even actually means. If processed foods have no nutrients, do "ultra processed" foods suck the nutrients out of you?
I still drink diet soda though, and it doesn't cause any issues. I haven't found any credible research that shows anything bad about aspartame, which is just a combination of two amino acids (aspartic acid, phenylalinine) and methanol, all of which are found in higher quantities in "natural" foods than are found in diet sodas (fruit juice has something like 11 times as much methanol and 6 times as much aspartic acid as a diet soda, while milk has some 6 times as much phenylalinine.)
Wait, people want incentives to work? Oh, the horror! You mean that won't just do stuff for Kumbay, Utopia and altruism? My social justice model is broken.
Don't you know that they're all evil, so they must have some hidden agenda. No 1%er would ever do anything that was altruistic. Well, except for George Soros, Buffet, Gates, the Clintons, the Kerrys,... oh, nevermind.
2. Making sure everyone else (even those who are just on their way to become millionaires) suffer the same fate as them (and in the proceed, the newly minted 'millionaires' would have been taxed to death while the 'old money' could still living very well off, thanks to their entrenched Elite status)
As a 2%er, who lives in a neighborhood full of 2%ers, I want to thank you for going to bat for us. Please be sure to lower our taxes. Those evil 1%ers are trying to keep us down. Damnit, how are we ever supposed to climb out of this gutter!?!
Disclaimer: The above was partially tongue in cheek. Living in the metro DC area, where virtually everyone makes $100k+, and as dual income, we're technically in the 1.5%, but that doesn't buy you nearly what it would elsewhere.
What evidence do you have that Koch pays no income tax? You certainly haven't seen their tax returns. Is there also proof of their "international citizenship"?
You seem to want to quibble about something that everyone else calls a war An invasion is simply a part of war, and everyone else seems to be fine with calling it such. A declaration before an invasion would still have made it an invasion.
Please name one that was taken out of his own neighborhood. The vast majority of these weren't even from Iraq/Afghanistan. Let's take a look... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back for not being personally responsible for Guantanamo, because you are. Remember democracy? You and I and the rest of the American people elected the scum that did this and so you and I are personally responsible, nice try to wiggle out of it.
Oh, since we're on/. let's try a car analogy... The car I purchased has a brake failure, and runs over a dozen kids at the bus stop. It's my fault because I chose the car.
It is a concentration camp already after all, so why pretend it ain't...
Maybe your definition is different, but it doesn't match mine.
concentration camp noun noun: concentration camp; plural noun: concentration camps a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities, sometimes to provide forced labor or to await mass execution. The term is most strongly associated with the several hundred camps established by the Nazis in Germany and occupied Europe in 1933–45, among the most infamous being Dachau, Belsen, and Auschwitz.

Most of these contain fiber, which is useless as a food.
Not so fast...

Lol, the fiber myth keeps rearing it's ugly head.

It's not the aspartame that's the issue....

Like nutritional news (coffee is bad for you, no it's good, no it's bad, etc), I take all this crap with a huge grain of salt.
Don't do it...salt is bad for you! /sarcasm
We've been through that with other foods...eggs, liver, red wine.
Yup, they could hardly wait to label your post as Flamebait. That was a chicken shit move.
If all of this is poppycock but we still act, there isn't much of a problem
Yeah, as long as you don't consider the loss of hundreds of billions of dollars "much of a problem".

Wikipedia says $75k for individuals, $118k for households.

Wealth != Income
You can tax each through different means...income vs. property tax for example.
What evidence do you have that Koch pays no income tax? You certainly haven't seen their tax returns. Is there also proof of their "international citizenship"?
The distinction you're trying to make doesn't matter. Congress controls the purse strings, and can refuse to pay for whatever it wishes.

You suspect incorrectly. Let me give you a civics lesson then.

You declared war? When?
War is war, declared or not. I made no claim that it was declared. Is there some purpose in giving a shit if it is or isn't?
"that we were at war with" - I think you mean "that we declared war on" which is not quite the same thing.
Seriously, you're going to argue that it wasn't war because it wasn't declared?
Never mix science with politics; you end up with neither...
Kennedy, lunar mission, discuss.
He can order all he wants, but the money to pay for things isn't controlled by him. Good luck paying for that.
