Banning The Big Mac!


See this cow? Obviously, it has been injected with a ton of growth hormones, like millions of other cows, to make them grow faster and larger. Well America- this is where our Big Mac comes from! If the government wants to be our nanny and they may as well regulate everything we choose to put into our body. Along with steroids should probably be Big Macs, Whoppers... how about Outback's bloomin' onion? That can't be beneficial to one's health. How about Taco Bell's 500 calorie “salad?” Jamaican beef pattied? Twinkies? Redbull? Splenda? Cheeseybread? Protein shakes? Meal replacement bars? Hydroxycut? Muscle Milk? Viagra? Botox? Since when do we tolerate the government telling us what we can and cannot do with our own bodies? Do we want our politicians to spoon feed us what they claim to be healthy? The government's job in not to tell us what we can put into our bodies. If a person wants to inject botulinum toxin into their face to make their wrinkles disappear, why can't a skinny guy inject steroids into his biceps to make his muscles look bigger? If we allow the government to outlaw steroids, we are opening a gateway for them to outlaw some of America's favorite foods. A person can serve up to five years for selling steroids—that's more then a thief or a drunk driver. What's next? Fat police to lock up all the obese Big Mac fans? My point is this—the government is not our nanny, and by outlawing steroids, the government is actually creating a bigger problem for themselves and their citizens. Legalizing steroids is really the only reasonable way to create a balance between what the government and the people want.

  1. This is so true!!! We are eating steroids and the government surely thinks that's alright, so what's the difference between eating roids at a BBQ or using them alone for specific sports performance enhancement?
