Girl arrested for fast food found in car, nah just kidding!

A friend sent this to me and it is just too good to ignore.

Police search school with drug sniffing dogs, find nothing.

Sniffing dogs alert to car in parking lot.

Sniffing dogs find "an illegal substance was inside a vehicle."

Specifically: "Police found a marijuana joint in a fast-food bag on the passenger floorboard."

The owner of the car, an 18 year old female (an adult), is arrested and charged with possession. Not of fast food. Marijuana.

Now, clearly, marijuana is illegal and fast food is not.

But which substance is actually more dangerous? Which kills more people?

We have data on this by the way. Anyone want to try to find it?

Yet, police are arresting people for the relatively safe substance while ignoring the relatively dangerous one. And the mainstream media almost never question the logic of this policy.

I know, I know, police are "taking a bite out of crime."

Except these arrests literally make no difference in terms of drug use or drug availability.

Scientists warn of 'tsunami of obesity' as Western lifestyles spread across the globe

For decades, we've sat on our couches, being constantly bombarded by advertisements for highly sweetened and high fat foods, especially fast food (think Super Size).

And we've consistently gotten fatter and fatter.

Now, our lifetsyle is spreading across the globe.

Yeah,

I know, I know.

We have a choice about what we eat. Of course we do.

But "choice" is what we decide to do, like eat a healthy meal at home at the end of a long, hard day, or eat an unhealthy but easier one at a fast food restaurant. If choice is what we do, then "choice" cannot explain why we choose.

Research now shows fast food meets at least some definitions of addiction.

Add on to this that companies most heavily promote their least healthy foods, and that the least healthy foods are also the least expensive, and then you better understand why people choose these foods.

Take this Paris Hilton ad for the "Monster Thick Burger."

Now personally, this makes me NOT want to eat it. I mean, I want to stay as far away from that as possible!

The point of this post is that food companies are promoting products that they know will kill more and more of us. Not only here. But all over the globe.

And since anything can be a crime, maybe this should be.
