Everything from soup to nuts. Things you eat because you think they are superhealthy.Why they are dragging their heels to 100% ban its use in the United States probably has a lot tro do with money. Contributions to politicians. Money talks. Money controls. Money is revered. Money is what you can never enough of no matter how much you have. You want more.So considering the politics involved do you think it will ever be completely 100% BANNED for use in the United States?What Capitalistic country is gonna ban making money? Don't be funny. Ain't gonna happen never no time no way no how.EAT ORGANIC as much as you can afford to do. Lose weight by eating fewer things but making sure they won't make you sick.Food for thought? Yep. less

When he competed athletically was he always Caitlin within? There was a tennis player named Richards who became I think Renee. What part does gender really play in sports competition?Should there be a separate set of sports events for the LGBTQ community?Physical prowess is different for males and females. That's why they don't compete against one another physically. Intellectually? Well Spelling Bees are for all genders. But physically? Imagine women and men competing side by side for track or gymnastics? less

My own state has mercy rules for high school sports in the smaller classes to prevent blowouts. If a team is up by 35 or more at halftime then they just run the clock continuously for the rest of the game. So, if a team’s giving another team a complete butt-kicking, what exactly are they supposed to do for the rest of the game? I asked my husband about this. His opinion is that the winning team should just give all of its benchwarmers playtime at that point, which doesn’t always work. In the 2019 high school football season in South Dakota, Pierre beat Spearfish 103 to 0, and Pierre was down to playing its fourth string in the last quarter. People wanted the state government to step in and impose mercy rules on the larger c... less
