Very few foods are harmful in and of themselves. This applies to most things, including tobacco and alcohol as well. It is lack of moderation that causes harm. Do you want a world where everything that MIGHT harm you is removed? |

But that is where your line of reasoning leads.. 'the karma of selling such harmful stuff'. |

Exactly. Clearly you did not get the memo about me always being right. But you'll be OK. You catch on quick.

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

Tobacco isn't harmful, in and of itself? I'm unaware of a safe use of tobacco, even in small quantities. Educate me. |

Like fatty foods, you have to consume a critical mass before anything becomes harmful. Just like aspirin, or vitamins or even water. |

I usually sprinkle it over a bowl of ice cream. Mmmmmm... It goes well with the green olives.

For most things, that may be true. However, I have read studies that suggest that even casual, infrequent tobacco use is a health risk. (Unfortunately, a quick Googling does not locate them.) Any citations for the idea that it is not? |

Well, what that means is that moderation won't make your health crappy. But I guarantee you that someone who smokes in moderation isn't as healthy as someone who doesn't smoke at all, all other things being equal. |

I offset the ill effects of smoking by mainlining heroin. By compare, smoking a cigarette is nearly as good as spending an hour at the gym!

I would gladly cite you for your ideas. Unfortunately the legislature has not passed my bill yet. I found this, which is a bit of a stretch, but I thought it was kind of funny..

Slicing your skin with razor blades. Cheating on your spouse. Murder. Hey, nothing is bad. Moderation is key!

I'm all for putting the nutrition info out there, but I have to agree with Riley. I don't think it'll make any difference. I find it hard to believe anyone who slaps back deep fried anything, or slurps a Starbuck's triple whoodiedoofrapposomething, doesn't really know they are loaded with calories. It's not like they couldn't have figured that out on their own, if they'd wanted to. |

I smoked a pack of cigarettes every day for 30 years - no harm. My understanding is that there is some risk in doing this.

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Adding calorie counts on menus is a good thing. It's about time. 'Sure helps with my goals. |
