the government takes too many of our rights away, deciding what we can and can't use...

Normally I'd say that the media will end up making him out to be a stupid musclehead that cares more about the world of bodybuilding than he does the economy and welfare of his state, but the media seems to like him, so hopefully this will end up being a very good thing..

He's right on target. Further, the government's "job" is to provide defense for its citizens (military, police, fire dept. etc.), and handle things that cannot be handled by the citizens or private industry such as interstate and international commerce issues (weights and measures, etc.), and things of that nature. They are not in the food or supplement business and should stay out except for monitoring label claims and similar commerce-related issues."I have always campaigned against the FDA getting involved in food supplements," he said in quotes confirmed by his office Monday. "I have very rarely seen the government do anything that was effective."Always learning.

California might not be such a bad place after all.
O/T I just saw on the news that obesity is the 2nd highest killer of people in the US after smoking according the the US government. And they ban ephedra!
I hope Arnie talks some sense into the government.

The only thing keeping me in California IS Arnold. I can't stand these drugged up liberal idiots. Makes no sense.

I believe he will become president. They'll change the law so he will be eligible to run for president.

03-09-2004, 09:47 PM #15Since the ephedra ban, those anti-smoking commericals just piss me off. All this end around stuff saying smoking will kill you and the people around you - but cigarettes are here to stay. It's enough to make ya go postal.Originally posted by RSX-S

Oh, I forgot to say I also saw that they have come out with a new drug that is supposed to help you quit smoking AND lose weight! This was on the news immediatly after I saw the study on obesity.
Come on give me a break. I wonder what pharmaceutical company is going to make a fortune on that drug. I'll try to find some print on it and post it.

Re: arnold against the ban ! he wants the fda out +
That was a non-story. There was a quote (not even an issued statement) and no indication that any action would be taken. I hope it indicates that he'll make a real effort, but I wouldn't hold my breath.Originally posted by sicosico

Two sides of the coin:
1. Good that they will quit banning things that are only dangerous when taken abusively.
2. Bad because there will still be a need for product testing and regulation to an extent. Otherwise, you'll have 15 year olds doing 2 month long cycles of M1T. Hell, we practically have that now even with the FDA's involvement.

Arnolds the man ... hands down the guy does his best to stand up for what he knows is right, or believes in. I'd vote for the man for President, they kicked me out of CA when I tried to vote for him for governor, something about not being a residentOriginally posted by Par Deus
