Right. They decided to ditch the food pyramid, for choosemyplate
Why?
First, why did you lie and say they were still using the food pyramid?

A full 61% disapprove of the health care law. Only 31% approve.
But when asked WHY they disapprove, some say the law goes too far, while others say it doesn't go far enough. When you actually calculate the number of people who EITHER approve of Obamacare OR think it should go further than it does, you get a majority.
What's more, when you ask people if they are in favor of the individual components of ACA, i.e. "Do you think people with pre-existing conditions should be able to get insurance?" or "Do you think insurance should be available in a website format that allows you to shop and compare all policies?", more people than not say yes.

California Insurance Board tells Obama to "F" himself...
Covered California boots plans that miss Obamacare standards
....."The board of California's health insurance exchange, Covered California, on Thursday decided not to allow insurance plans that do not meet Obamacare standards to continue operating in that state"
...."The move effectively rejects the fix President Barack Obama proposed to salve the deeply troubled rollout of the Affordable Care Act."
Think Dems will lose any Congressional seats in California in Nov '14?

You know that the only food pyramid that counts here is this one:
For one thing, I just REPOST article that are out in the main news sites, majority from popular, main stream sites, not off the wall unknown sites, so I don't think they are "crap". I don't make them up..... If you have issues with the articles I post, I always provide a link. Feel free to contact the original author of the article to voice your disapproval!!
Unfortunately, you liberals can't handle the truth about the current administration, so you respond with YOUR childish "blame the GOP" responses... Too bad if the "Truth Hurts"...
Maybe YOU need to grow up and accept reality that your liberal "blue" team ain't as great as you think....
Its more like posting articles and then adding cute statements to it to construe them to an ever-reliable "Take that, liberals!" attitude. Utterly predictable. Don't worry about handling the truth. We've known it for quiet some time now, which is that the GOP is a dinosaur and losing its ability to garner votes as the clock ticks on by. We don't have to do anything except sit back with some popcorn and watch the GOP in its current form fade into oblivion. Within 10 years the GOP of today won't be recognizable to those in the future. They will have to change. Plain and simple. The rest of us will just wait.
Think Dems will lose any Congressional seats in California in Nov '14?
Probably not. The one thing that can almost always be counted on in Cali is that it might as well be Texas' twin sister given its outright reliable politics. Texas can almost always be assured to be solidly Republican no matter what the same that Cali can equally be counted on to be solidly Democratic.

It's not a fix. It's just caving in to pressure from the right, and being stabbed in the back by Bill Clinton. California is right, and Obama should have stuck to his guns. This is the WRONG time to knuckle under.

Wow. Did you make that, or did that come from AF? Somebody spent a lot of time on that.

I'm sure this has been posted alredy by now. But only six(!) signed up for Obamacare the first day??!! From what I read, over 4 million visits, but only 6 signed up?
I liken this scenario to a big fat highway, w/ 4 million cars slowing down to check out the 6 car accident on the side of the road, only to keep driving away/getting away from the gory fiasco.
And this shit show is only getting started...
- You want to put your identity, SS#, VITAL information into the hands of former-ACORN layabouts, ie, fresh-minted 'stewards' to these healthcare exchanges? I'll pass, thank you.
- Then once we get past this gaping hole of security, we get to grapple w/ the fact that there's more security problems ahead, when this site is hacked repeatedly, once your data lands 'somewhere'.
- Wait till the uneducated (or the naive liberals/independent voters; same thing) find out that Obamacare is a financial house of cards, that will collapse under its own weight. Tons of people 'signing up' for healthcare, that will be free, but a trickle of tax-paying people signing up, willing to get reamed in the digital age by the gov't....
- Obamacare is wealth re-distribution, pure and simple. Obama doesn't give a fuck about you, the health care he took away from you, or the higher bills you, the tax-payer, will have to pay. He lied to you 3 years ago, KNOWING you'd lose your health care. That's all you need to know.
