But candy specifically is eaten for the taste alone, because everyone knows it's not healthy. Thus, Kirk's idea that people would not eat candy if they knew the specific ingredients is rather absurd.

That doesn't make any sense in this context, nor is it relevant to the discussion. When having a serious discussion, it's best to avoid attempts to be cute with stereotypical statements such as the one you presented, it really only degrades you.

*sigh*, i have that effect on people. The food industry is a big buisness and i generally have little trust for big buisnesses.
edit: too much coruption in them, that is why i have little trust for it.

There's a difference between "food in america" and fast food, etc. I think Tural was simply saying that you can't generalize and say all american food is unhealthy. Except Tural has to pretend to be Count Chocula.

in remeberance of all the people who died on september 11 send this to 10 people to remind them of the hurt and struggle of families effected.
This is disgusting to me. To me this seems like it is mocking the people that lost loved ones.

Also, I don't really see why 9/11 is as "big" as it is. Pretty sure America has had much worse things happen. I am uneducated though and it might just be because it took place close to the present.

I am sorry if I offended anyone.

What about the day that will live in infamy? I wonder who here honestly commemorates that or thinks twice about that day...

END OF DISCUSSION. You don't eat candy because of what's in it. You eat it because it tastes good. gb2/redvines/ in your land of noflavoria
.... that is the main reason people eat anything, casue of how it tastes.
Wrong.

What i'm saying is that it's pure sugar. Pure sugar doesn't taste good.
