If Guns Kill People, and Food Makes People Fat, Then Pencils Make People Stupid

   I have a friend on FB that is really... Let's say... quirky? 
She has opinions that I completely disagree with but I really enjoy being her friend. She is a nice person. Sometimes I think what she says is completely off, but I still likeher. 
She posted the other day a 60 minutes about natural food flavorings and the Government.
 I am annoyed with the interviewer in the segment because of this... 
 The people buying the products can read the labels on the boxes. Natural FLAVORS does not mean that the product is Natural nor does it mean that it comes from the actual thing that is was made. I know that. Maybe many people don't, Think of it like this... How can anyone baking cookies get upset when finding out that "Imitation Vanilla" is not "Pure Vanilla" and I will go as far to say that Imitation Vanilla might have Natural ingredients but it is still not "Real" Vanilla..
 So when I watched the segment... And they were trying to explain where the flavoring come from... Imagine jars and jars of imitation vanilla only they are more like thousands of different flavors. 
  As I was watching, the interviewer was trying to put the blame for people being fat... Because of the flavoring industry. 
   They said that because the flavoring industry is trying to get people to want to buy them more. 
So let me ask the interviewer... When he sits down at a nice restauarant... He does not want his food to taste flavorful? It really annoyed me to think that the Government can put blame on the flavoring food industry for a bunch of fat kids. 
 Last time I checked... you don't even get fat eating M&M's. But you DO get fat eating a candy bar a day, along with 1500 calories of sugars and fats. 
   I am so annoyed with yet another thing that our Government wants to blame... Guns kill--let's buy all the guns from every sorry ass American and make them think that they are getting the good end of the deal. Alcohol makes people crazy, let's just out law All Alcohol!!! In the 1970's it was Marijuana makes people crazy... When we all know what happened there. I am sick of the Government telling me because people get fat, I can not have a Whopper... Oh and now you can not have salt with it... I hate that! 
I say
 If Guns Kill People, and Food Makes People Fat, then, Pencils Make People Stupid!
