Re: Paris Under Attack....the hell?
When very poor or even borderline the food that is affordable is the least nutritious and comes in bulk. There are large numbers of people, esp in urban areas who do not have access to food that is unadulterated.
Saw a study once where they had nutrition majors do a semester project. Make a food plan that fit a food stamp level budget. 2nd part of project was to execute. Even with weeks of planning With the pressure of trying to keep up their regular responsibilities, school, work, etc they found it close to impossible to obtain and eat nutritionally sound diets. It was very time consuming to research sales,find coupons, get to stores, etc. They also noticed eating the foods they could obtain made them feel more fatigued, changed their bodies ability to digest, and a host of other unpleasant effects that resolved when they returned to healthier diets. (wally- you could probably attest to the latter)
Take into consideration the fact there are many of these subsistence people who have children and/or multiple jobs and it may be impossible. They did another study in California and found to eat the daily recommended diet would take about 70% of the $ available to someone who qualified for food stamps.
So after that long winded justification- not everyone chooses to eat the crap.
Going off on a tangent--

Yes. The overreaction would be insane.
The was OBL's plan: get us to bankrupt ourselves. And we fell for it hook, line, and PATRIOT Act.

Please read his post again. It is no way false equivalency and even goes out of its way to avoid that misreading. You are way better than that.

The LRT has DHS agents assigned to it on Black Friday. It's a day when many people are out of the office, but they still think it would be a huge strike in terms of morale even if the actual collateral damage would be reduced.

So why do we bother to make murder illegal if all these companies are killing us with food and tobacco? To be consistent, surely we must repeal our laws against murder?

In all honesty you have lost me here. I think he's pointing out that terrorism has the unique magic power to get us to turn our brains off, and that we're going to be seeing a lot of that over the next few weeks.

And if you think terrorism is the only thing that gets the US populace to turn its brains off....please watch about 10 nanoseconds of a Kardashian show and get back to me.
I think he's suggesting that we turn our eyes off and ignore the fact that terrorism exists.

Of course, the Middle East has way more money and opportunity to strike at the west than Africa. Who knows, with more money maybe the Somali pirates are terrorists.
