Maybe regular access to doctor’s would be a net benefit to public health hmm...

Doctors would help, I'm sure, but the real issue is food standards and lack of public awareness. All the unhealthy crap is bigger and cheaper in America, and the healthy options are pictured as weird stuff for hipsters.

Just another case of "It's expensive to be poor"

It's more than that. Advertising is a form of mind control and we're exposed to it fairly constantly throughout the day, in many different forms, and most of it is for stuff that's bad for us. Couple that with the fact that it really is prohibitively expensive for a lot of people in this country to truly live a healthy lifestyle (compare the healthiness of food available at a high end store like Whole Foods to that at a discount store like Sav-a-Lot, or even the prices between the healthier food vs the unhealthier food at an Acme to see my point) and it's no wonder we're a country of fat slobs. Society is to blame!

[Dr David Thork]

Society is to blame!

Well that's easy. Just blame society. No one should ever take any personal responsibility. Oh, you murdered a man because you are from a broken home and have rage issues? Its fine. Society did that. Been sexually abusing your teenage daughter because you've been watching too much porn? That's society's fault. Stole a Bentley because you saw your favourite sports star driving one and you can't emulate your hero without one? Its OK. Society created that envy inside you.

Oh, and you are 300lbs and ate 2 cheesecakes for breakfast before your insulin shot? No worries buddy. Its not your fault. Its society!

No ... if you are fat ... you are to blame.

You're not big boned. No anthropologist ever dug up a skeleton and said "Look at the size of the bones on him."
Its not your glands. I only need to look at images from the 1950s to see how rare obesity was.
Its not genetics. Your great great grandparents weren't fat.
And its not corporations. I eat on the same planet as you do.

You are fat because you are greedy and lazy. Its always those two things. A person needs to be both. Greedy and lazy.

[Pete Svarrior]

It's more than that. Advertising [...]

I agree completely - you've identified the cause behind the "lack of public awareness" I hinted at. I just didn't want to go into as much detail.

No one is surprised you didn't really address the substance of what was said, just the tag at the end that was there for lulz.

At least he would be if the election were held today.

Those same outlets were claiming that Hillary had an overwhelming lead on Trump up to the day of the election. Hardly credible.

Also from Yahoo and CNN:

Yahoo Aug 4 - ELECTORAL MAP: Hillary Clinton is on track for a blowout win in November

Yahoo Oct 18 - Poll: Hillary Clinton Will Win Election

CNN Nov 1 - Key model predicts big election win for Clinton

"this model has correctly predicted the results of every election since 1980"

lol

They got the popular vote right. Hard to predict the fuckery that is GOP gerrymandering combined with the electoral college.

You know Tom... Trump did say the Election was rigged..... Maybe he was right?  It was rigged to get him to win.

[Tom Bishop]

Joe Biden gave some good advice once.

[Tumeni]

Fox News reckon that ABC "ambushed" Trump by including regular American voters in the audience for his "town hall" ....

Gee, how unfair. Having to answer questions from real people.

"Herd Mentality". Huh.

[Rama Set]

It was a townhall for undecided voters... None of them were anyone’s voters.

The article was about Biden, not Pelosi.  Pelosi is the speaker of the house.  She has little impact on foreign policy.  Her death would do nothing.

Also, y'all wanted trade deals with America so if you want us to leave the UK alone, then enjoy having no trade deals.

Why don't you read the article rather than just the headline?

But US Speaker Nancy Pelosi said there was "no chance" of a UK-US trade deal getting through the US Congress if the UK violated international agreements, undermining the Good Friday Agreement.

This is a bit rich coming from the US who have gone back on the Paris Climate agreement, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the UN human rights council, UNESCO, and are threatening to pull out of the WTO, NATO and the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty. But oh no, if Britain pull out of a bad deal with the EU, there will be hell to pay. 🙄

Get bent, America. 😤

[Pete Svarrior]

What a fantastic trade deal partner our overlords chose for us, eh, Thork? Are you missing the Bruxellois elite yet?

[Dr David Thork]

Are you sober now? Yesterday you were hanging around AR with piss stained pants shouting at the pigeons.

It shows in the UK, we need a Trump win. Voting Democrat will irreparably harm the special relationship. The Democrats aren't interested in fostering good relations. They are just out to pick up woke points off black people and lesbians. It's a different kind of politics and we'll find ourselves diverging in policy more and more if the dems get in. But with Trump, we're actually pretty aligned right now. We want the same things. More jobs, better manufacturing, less China and less war. We also both want to nail the EU's scrotum to the floor so they can't swing their bollocks about on the world stage.

Thork, I'm going to ask you one last time: keep the personal attacks out of the upper.

It shows in the UK, we need a Trump win.

What a dire set of circumstances.

You do know that Trump pulled out of all those, not Congress.  Right?  No congressional approval was required.  Pelosi could do nothing.
