There is no evidence that meat, especially pork, causes hypertension directly. Either treated or undertreated. Cardiovascular disease is a complex disease with mutant genes, environment and poor habits. Consuming processed porcine products occasionally will not hurt someone. People only choose not to eat these products due to beliefs or lifestyle.

I am a vegetarian, so I choose not to consume any muscle or fat products. I only consume some dairy but that is not by a preference, it is when i do not have options at the dining table.

He said he came away with two lessons: He made some poor choices when he shopped for the $21 worth of food, and the country's food stamp program is not sufficient for the 26 million Americans who rely on it.
First, this man is suppose to educated at some level. How is he making poor choices and what does a poor choice mean?

And 26 million people are relying on foodstamps to feed themselves... Some on GC said let them starve and die. Some of GC are wondering of ways to improve it. So, if we are to have a foodstamp program, how will we make it more sufficient? Better yet, more healthly and efficient?
