For example:
We are told eat healther food. But why is it cheaper to buy junk food?
We are encouraged to save for our pensions, yet there are people who now have nothing because they put away money and got conned?
We are encouraged to loose weight, but when you loose too much people think that you are too skinny. But when encouraged to be curvy women...people are often called fat.
Encouraged to be environmentally friendly but to get e.g an eco friendly washing machine cost loads.
Told to watch Live Aid, and while it is on for 6+ hours we are all using more eletric power.
Is this all just plain hypocritical!!!!!!

Encourage to get a job, when signing on to claim benefits is easier.
Encourage to find a career, but no job will give you the time of day because you don't have experience....the list goes on and on

THANK YOU!! You have figured it out!! The hyprocrisy of the new era. Here are some more for you....Don't smoke, it's bad for everyone, but please buy cigarettes so we can use your tax money to fund things you will never use....Get a job, quit living off of the government but if you smoke, there's no job here....Watch Live Earth to save the planet, but do not pay attention to the fact that we burned more fossil fuels, more energy, and generated more garbage than any other event in the last 5 years....you must recycle, but we will charge you money to do that....it goes on and on. We as a country are losing our way and fast becoming part of that New World Order. I don't know about you, but I liked this country better when we were free. Hillary wants to strip the oil companies of their profits to fund health care and force them to find alternatives. Yet she is traveling all over the country burning more fuel. We need to start rebelling against the system. WE need to start standing up and yelling "Enough!" WE are sick of this and it needs to stop! WE need to get rid of the leftist liberals who are ruining this country!

I agree. If I spend $100 on "healthy food" I only get enough food to last a few days. Who can afford it? It does seem pretty messed up, doesn't it, the environmentally friendly products we buy are SOOO expensive. They should make the cost lower so more people can afford it and SAVE the planet!

You're wrong about the price of food. Fresh food is much cheaper than junk food. The difference is you have to work a little to cook the fresh food. My store is in a poor neighborhood and most people buy real food and prepare it themselves to save money. The people who buy most of the junk food are usually black, and they buy it with food stamps. I just think they're too lazy to cook their own food.
I'm pretty new to this country but even I know that Live Aid was about feeding the poor in Africa, and had nothing to do with using electric power. I think you're confusing your concerts.
Having said that, I noticed someone called you a "winner", I don't think so, I'd call you a "whiner"

Agreed +++ the trouble is, 'they' are often preaching to the choir. Try having lunch with a small child in a cafe and see what's on the child's menu. Chips, chips and more chips. Then there are all those sweeies at the checkout. And lets face it, it they didn't MAKE foods full of salt, sugar and nasty additives, we wouldn't be ABLE to eat it, would we?

crepes, they take approximately twenty minutes. you're able to pour the pancake batter skinny adequate so as which you dont finally end up with a great blob of batter. next you're able to easily make particular you do no longer burn it because of the fact its skinny. i commonly end placed some strawberry sauce that i made interior, roll it up and garnish with some clean strawberry slices. in case you employ like bisquick shake and pour, you're able to have adequate to make approximately 12-14 :)

Certainly claiming benefits that you are entitled too is being made harder. Its getting harder to "get on" in life. Its getting harder for most of us because those at the top want to make it ever easier for themselves.

no, its all just plain sacrifice
ever heard of quid pro quo? you must give in order to recieve, paying 40 cents extra at the supermarket is worth living a few extra years if you eat healthy and nutritious foods
