You Should Eat More Beef

I was thinking recently about a particular friend of mine on Facebook, the one who loves to post links Robert Reich's little fascist diatribes. Everything the guy writes goes in one direction. Kind of like this.

1. There is inequality. We need to give the government more power.
2. There is poverty. We need to give the government more power.
3. It's getting hot. We need to give the government more power.
4. It's getting cold. We need to give the government more power.
5. The Seahawks covered the spread last Sunday. We need to give the government more power.

Every problem has the same solution. Taken individually, one can make a decent argument for each. The government has the reach and resources to do something about almost any problem. Ask the guy or his devotees how much is enough and you can never get a straight answer. Nothing is enough.

Beef is good for you. It's full of iron and protein, helping your body produce blood and rebuild muscles. You should eat more beef.

You should eat more beef.

You should eat more beef.

You should eat more beef.

You may be eating 3 pounds of beef a day already, but you should eat more because it helps your body produce blood and rebuild muscles. You should eat more beef.

Me: Is eating one of these a day enough?
Progressive: It's complicated and I don't think we can set a limit right now.
