Now that&#8217;s sure interesting. \u00a0Here&#8217;s something you might like to know about the EVIL TRANS FAT FOOD POLICE BAN-IT-ALL have accomplished in Norway.\u00a0Butter, in Norway, for a 500 gram, pack sells for as much as $474. There&#8217;s 28.35 grams per ounce, so take 500 grams divided by 28.35 and you get 17.65 oz. &#8211; that&#8217;s a little tad over a pound (for the public school graduates information) &#8212; actually 1.65 oz. more than 1 pound. So in Norway, it can cost $474 for just about one (1) pound of butter. Don&#8217;t you just loooooooooove the FOOD POLICE! Welcome to Michele Obama&#8217;s world, aye? You know the world of \u00a0the &#8220;we hate trans-fat&#8221; whose plan is to get all butter and all trans fats banned every where. \u00a0And that includes milk and cheese too. \u00a0Think it can&#8217;t happen here? \u00a0It already has! \u00a0Hostess\/Twinkies have filed for bankruptcy. \u00a0Twinkies has long been the target of the &#8220;American&#8217;s are too fat&#8221; comedians who joked Twinkies right out of business. The Food Police are not just coming, they&#8217;re here! \u00a0They got your Twinkies. \u00a0Hold onto your butter! \u00a0<em>[FYI\u00a0Carol Moseley Braun, Democrat, was the U.S. Senator\u00a0from Illinois from January 5, 1993 to January 3, 1999, where Barack Obama, Democrat, was seated from 2005 to 2008 and is now occupied by a Republican, Mark Kirk, who was seated November 29, 2010, ending a Democrat dynasty of it&#8217;s own kind for that U.S. Senate Seat in the backlash aimed at the Obama Recession.]<\/em> \u00a0<strong>\u25ac Donna Calvin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">_______________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here come Mrs. Food Police Michelle Obama?

Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible.
