"*cuts could send oil prices around the world soaring.*"

The operative word is "**could**. So we shouldnt hear any announcements this week or next that *some retailers have **already** increased prices*

ROTFL birdie actually call something the PLP proposed "*nonsense*"

"*Apparently this worked in Mexico*"

If you mean the sugar tax worked in changing purchasing habits in Mexico, what wed have to ask to get the full picture, what did people start purchasing as alternatives and what was the comparative price. Because everything here expensive now, even fast food. A fast food snack now costs about as much as a lunch meal. They havent thought this through. They might as well say *we want to raise the tax on food* and leave it there

so I agree with you, those people are metabolically unfit. Our bodies were designed to burn calories for energy as we worked. We were never meant to be overweight. The fact that we've corrupted the system doesnt negate the way it was meant to work

So as I often do when presented with something, I looked it up and it turns out that "*it depends*". Which is something we've always known about weight loss, it's an individual thing, what works for one person may not work for someone else. So its not a *lie*, it just "*depends*"... on the individual and their metabolic fitness

"*if somebody is metabolically fit and their insulin looks fantastic, but they're still not burning fat that we would like them too, then we have to start messing with calories*" -pureprescriptions.com

I hope we dont hear another PPP with CFAL

"*This acceleration in the dispute presented huge consequences for the stability of funding our air navigation services and the continuity of operations of our domestic carriers into the US,” Mr Cooper said. However, as previously reported by Tribune Business, the US Department of Transportation dismissed the airlines’ allegations, asserting: “We cannot conclude in those circumstances that the fee structure constitutes unjustifiable or unreasonable discrimination.”*

What the ruling **actually said** was "**we cannot say the fees are 'discriminatory' because they charging everybody these outrageous fees**". Cant be "discrimination" is everybody affected. They further asked the Bahamas to explain at the next meeting exactly how they came up with these outlandish charges

"*you cannot tax a country into good health"*

2000% agree. This bill has **nothing** to do with health and everything to do with an increase in taxes. Wasnt it about 4 weeks ago that they were praising the openings of iHop and Sugar Factory? It makes no logical sense. Further weight loss as far as I know has nothing to do with the high price of bad choices. It's not like good choices are cheaper. It just means everything has a high price now. Weight loss and healthy diet changes are also 2 of the hardest goals anyone can seek to achieve, that they tried to tell us they increased the prices to achieve them tells me they're not thinking **at all** or they think the public are fools.

You'll be safe, I remember you saying VAT was good for you and your kids because it would force you to eat less. This should have the same impact

How is that a lie?
