Big Nanny Alert: The War on Hamburgers
Yes, really:
Hamburgers are an American passion. And millions of Americans consume burgers, and other forms of meat, every day without consequences.
Should Americans continue to make meat — and particularly hamburgers — part of their diet?
Should Americans continue to make meat — and particularly hamburgers — part of their diet?
But ground beef contaminated with E. coli bacteria has sickened, paralyzed and even killed some people who ate it.
On Monday night’s “Larry King Live,” a wide range of guests joined an in-depth and spirited debate to answer this question: Should meat, and most specifically hamburgers, be a part of the American diet?
The Big Nanny bureaucrats will have to pry the Sonic Bacon Cheeseburger from my cold, dead hands…

You just made me very, very hungry. One of the greatest things about Georgia and the Carolinas is putting coleslaw on anything but a banana split. BBQ… burgers… and best of all, slaw dogs.
It’s getting harder and harder to laugh at this stuff.
I vote for Culver’s too. Great burgers. The mortician will have trouble getting the smile off my face if one kills me.
He was NOT cybersquatting peta.org at all, he just hated PETA like most of us. The site he created was a valid one with the definite purpose of opposing the real PETA and was totally unlike a typical squatting site like this one for example (74.117.116.76 registered to ‘PARKED.COM in the Cayman Islands..). His tactic of grabbing the site name first was indeed the rule back then – like the wild west compared to now – and a whole lot tamer than the violent things PETA ‘thinks’ are okay to do to people and their property.
We should all revert to subsistence farming, grow and make everything we use, live in our sod houses, go to bed when the sun went down, get up when the sun comes up and use no fuels at all. At least this way we could get rid of lawyers.
The only problem is, these eco-nitwits would find something else to badger us about. But at least they couldn’t make moronic appearances on idiotic shows like “Larry King Still Alive!”
Whole Foods sells ground beef that makes a wonderful burger. Just add a little salt and pepper, throw it on the George Foreman grill or fry it up in a pan and you have one great burger!
Man, I am getting hungry…
Really? So he actually had a real nonprofit organization set up? I mean you know…to justify they “.org”? Because he represented to the domain name site it was for an actual organization. No. He lied.
So did he also oppose Baltimore Washington Telephone Company when he claimed bwtel.com?
When this government run health care fiasco is passed, you can bet your quarter pounder that these types will be elevated to positions of authority in the “What’s good for America’s health” bureaucracy. Just wait and see.
Show me a LAW from 1996 that says a dot ORG must be a registered non-profit organization? Hint- it was only a ~recommendation~ back then and now hardly anyone pays much attention to it at all with many commercial sites using ‘org’. His use of org was indeed within the recommended use simply because his site was in IN FACT a ‘not for profit use’.
Subterfuge; it has nothing to do with PETA does it?
Red State Bigot:
Why haven’t you signed up yet to support your president obama?
i can get the recrutiers number for you if you want.
Or just write to flag@whitehouse.gov
1. The law specifically applied retroactively, though you could not collect damages for sites claimed prior to the enactment of the law.
2. It was clearly trademark infringement. In fact, that was the primary issue in the case.
3. He still represented, as in legally promised, that it was on behalf of an organization that did not exist.
It shows a pattern of behavior which has everything to do with my claim that he was a cybersquatter in it to bilk money from real organizations.
This just in from Dr. Obama! Chew each bite of your bean sprout and arugula burger at least 50 times before swallowing!
Limit your sodium intake to ONE crystal of salt per person per day.
And note that new airline regulations take effect on Monday mandating a full 72 hours of fasting prior to boarding an airliner within the North American Co-Prosperity Sphere. Failure to comply will incur the maximum penalties allowed by law up to and including the death penalty as recently enacted by the EPA guidelines on eco-crimes!
Too much freedom can lead to unhappiness! Don’t worry, be happy!
This message has been approved by the Department of Information and Freedom. We promote happiness through ignorance all day, every day!
Do they really want to get the student body at John Jay College upset at them? Historically, the most heavily armed student body on the face of the earth. Most of its students (historically, at least) were NYPD or other law enforcement, required to carry at all times. I remember seeing a “hip” student guide in the early 70’s warning the reader not to casually offer to share their stash with a fellow student. Might end up “assuming the position” while wearing S&W bracelets.
Beef and Hamberger is a very good source of protein for our diet. We would devastate the environment if everyone had to get all of their protein from plants and vegetables. Food irradiation should be used on all meats to rid them of E.coli and salmonella. Many other countries including some european countries already know this. States need to begin stand up to the Fed under the tenth amendment and stop accepting any regulation that is not constitutional.
Fantastic Char Burgers on Cherry Avenue in Long Beach. Go there. Be happy.
Used to eat at the one near Cypress on Katella. (People’s Republik of Kalifornia-stan). We call it Fatso Burger (nod to That 70’s Show). As good as In and Out. Maybe better.
Drive the animal rights wackos nuts. Eat a burger for PETA.
Frowning Michelle Obama to Be Printed on all Fast Food Containers
Sonic is awesome, but I swear I’d hitchhike to the nearest In/Out burger joint if I didn’t have a car. I try to limit myself to one huge burger with fries once a month. Same with a hotdog from Costco. Oh, yummmmm.
That said, it is nobody’s business but mine if I want to eat 3 of them a day. It’s my veins, heart, blood pressure and colon.
Braum’s makes great ice cream and shakes, but also makes a damn FINE cheeseburger.
Hangfire – why yes, Braum’s makes a killer burger – no pun intended.
That works for me. I’m pretty sure the people that make our lives miserable wouldn’t be able to handle it and we could get back to business once they all died off.
You know, e.coli in vegetables and in tomatoes have killed people too. Let’s just not eat anything!
*I myself am a pescatarian since 1994, and strictly for health reasons; But I love all the veggie products that imitate the real thing; Besides, we have the pointy teeth for a reason; Humans are meat eaters!
*Time to kick Nanny to the curb; That and political correctness.
I’m hungry, I’m headin’ on over to the local Red Robin for a hugh 8oz Burger smothered with cheddar cheese, gobs of thick bacon, onion and tomato. And bottomless fries…….I’ll have a diet coke with it. I like to watch my sugar. LOL
mmm…..mmm…..mmm
It looked right when I typed it…..and the sad thing is it still does. LOL
People Eating Tasty Animals.

If God didn’t want us to eat animals, then why did he make them out of meat?

PETA Whackjob: Do you know what they do to that chicken?!?
Intelligent person: No, but it’s delicious!
Okay, so all we have to do is outlaw everything except that fancy beef that dear leader eats right? What would Wednesday night at the White House be without their treats?
As for the working class? Let them eat cake!
And the times they are a changing!
NestingHawk: A spinach-based salad, please.
Waiter: Spinach gives you E.Coli. We have lettuce.
NestingHawk: But I don’t like lettuce.
Waiter: Let’s see. We have lettuce, lettuce, lettuce, onion, and lettuce; lettuce, lettuce, tomato, lettuce, and lettuce; lettuce, cheese, lettuce, tomato, lettuce, onion, lettuce, and lettuce…
NestingHawk: But I don’t LIKE lettuce!
Waiter: Lettuce! Lettuce! Lettuce! Lettuce!
We are getting a Five Guys near my house very soon. You can bet i will be their. I saw a similar debate on MSNBC i believe a few days ago.
If you ate hamburgers for a hundred years, you’d live to a ripe old age.
Mom and Apple Pie are next on the list of American evils.
I ate a double coronary burger at the Vortex Bar and Grill in Atlanta. This was a 1/2 pound of 80/20 beef, 4 slices of cheese, 5 slices of bacon, 2 fried eggs, grilled onions, mayo, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, and tomato. In place of the buns are two grill cheeses. This was a warm up on Man Vs. Food. I couldn’t finish it…but almost! I had sweet potato fries, a dill pickle spear along with it.
They also have an Elvis Burger that has peanut butter, fried bananas and bacon. I couldn’t take the kid in cuz the Georgia law doesn’t allow children to go into establishments that allow smoking.
How is that for politically incorrect hangouts? Great beer menu too!
If I recall correctly, produce has been found to be contaminated with e.coli too. Anyone remember a little while back when we couldn’t get tomatoes, for example?
Oh, Five Guys makes the best burger I’ve had. And their fries are to die for…
Diet Czar appointment coming right up!~
A Five Guys double cheeseburger is one of my favorites.
and to think the last GREAT democrat president repealed the anti liquor law because he found that nanny state stupidity created gangsters and corruption. now the modern day democrats want to repeal sanity and tax anything americans like. can underground burger speakeasies be far behind? let’s see, we taxed cigarettes, and now tribal areas are making a fortune selling cigarettes, we outlawed gambling and ditto, we taxed alcohol, and border cities in canada are making a killing as are border cities in mexico, we taxed gasoline, and mexico is making a killing, we just don’t seem to learn. MONEY IS FUNGEABLE, IT WILL GO WHERE IT GETS THE MOST BANG FOR THAT BUCK.
Hardly new:) When I was a wee lad some 55 years ago, we had a favorite greasy spoon known as “Nicky’s” nearby on LI. He hada chili cheeseburger with coleslaw on top called the “Special.” And it was.
I’ve been sickened by contaminated veggies rather more often than contaminated meat. I will continue to be a Person Eating Tasty Animals.
{^_^}
Ni hao…
Hey, if I can’t have beef, I guess I’ll have to turn humanitarian.
Michael Moore could feed Somalia for a week.
I never fail to be amazed by this and other similar issues – IT IS NONE OF THEIR DAMNED BUSINESS!!!!
Please present your octopus.
