Opinions
Obesity should not be classified as a disability. In the vast majority of cases, obesity is rooted in an emotional condition. Very few cases involve situations where the person was born that way or became obese due to medical reasons.
Low-carbohydrate diets have a negative effect on health.
The Slim Fast plan is not an effective method of losing weight. Any diet that does not promote eating a balanced menu of three to five small meals a day is both unhealthy and dangerous to our bodies.
HIV should be a factor in evaluating whether a non-citizen can enter or permanently reside in a country.
The government should impose smoking bans. As a former smoker, I find second hand smoke intolerable, and feel that I should be protected from it when I am in a public place.
The U.S. government should not provide universal healthcare.
People do have a right to affordable healthcare.
Vaccines containing thimerosal are not safe.
There are no persuasive reasons why people should not eat meat.
Acupuncture is effective at treating back pain. An aquaintance of mine has recieved tremendous results from acupuncture in relieving their back pain. If they say its working then I think its effective.
The U.S. should do more to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa. It's a world-wide problem. The world needs to do everything it can to stop it.
It is necessary to grow food organically.
There are persuasive health reasons not to eat food products from animal clones.
The benefits of skin tanning (via UV light) do not outweigh the risks.
HIV tests should not be mandatory.
Alzheimer's disease is preventable.
Vitamin supplements should play a minor role in a healthy lifestyle.
Food testing standards in America are not effective. The FDA is too overwhelmed with amount of testing that is needed to keep the American food chain safe.
The government should subsidize prescription drugs for people who cannot afford them.
Bottled water is not safer than tap water. Water in plastic bottles is bad for the enviroment. The material the bottles are made of may contaminate the contents.
Pets do improve their owners' health. They are the best listeners God ever created.
A universal healthcare system would require a tax increase.
Humans have souls.
Employers should not be required to offer health insurance to full-time employees.
Life is fundamentally precious.
The U.S. should permit the import of prescription drugs from Canada. As long as the companies manufacturing them are held to the same standards as the American companies are. Safety, Quality, EEOC, and Enviromental Standards need to be met or exceeded.
States should mandate driver testing after a designated age.
Chain restaurants should not be required to display calorie counts on their menus. But maybe the childrens menu's might be a good place to start the calorie information. They're too young to know what is or is not good for them and it would be a helpful tool for parents when choices are being made.
Adults should not be required by law to purchase health insurance.
Employer health care plans should offer equivalent benefits for both mental health and physical conditions. Group rates for those services are always more reasonably priced.
The FDA should regulate tobacco products. The ingredients have always been kept secret. If the people making potato chips did this, they would be banned.
Children with ADHD should be treated with medications. Only people with children who suffer from the symptoms of ADD and ADHD and adults who have lived with it themselves can answer this question with any kind of authority.
Governments should ban trans fats in commercially-prepared foods. If there is an alternative, and there is, then we should not be adding poison to our foods.
The FDA should prohibit gay and bisexual men from donating blood. Until there is a clear cut cure for AIDS, no high risk groups of Americans should be prohibited from giving blood.
There are potential benefits to drinking red wine. Aside from the fact that the vast majority of people who drink wine, do so because they enjoy it.
Drinking milk has a neutral effect on an adult's health. The same benefits can be gained from eating a balanced diet of other foods without the side effects of lactose.
Abstinence-only sex education is effective.
Smoking should be prohibited in all indoor public places.
Americans are over-medicated.
The use of antibiotics in food animals poses a risk to human health.
