Happiness is not a Disease
- rkalla 16y agoWhat originally fired me up about this topic was this original post by daeken (http://danieltenner.com/posts/0018-how-to-lose-weight.html http://danieltenner.com/posts/0018-how-to-lose-weight.html) and then going back to watching TV and sitting through some fast-food commercials... then it hit me like a truck and I had to write about it.
- kls 16y agoThis is a horrible analogy. Fast food and drugs have very little relation. For example, prohibition of drugs has made them more concentrated and far more dangerous to ones health, the concept of a concentrated hamburger flies against the pillars of "super size". The fact of the matter is most of the natural drugs, in their natural state are relatively benign to your health or at least no worse that tobacco or alcohol. Pot, is on par with tobbacco with a potential for lung cancer but far less addictive. Opium is pretty freaking hard to OD on, and other than some constipation has no long term health ramifications. Coca (raw coke) is about as bad for your heart as nicotine or caffeine. The analogy does not work, because fast food is actually worse for you than unrefined drugs.
