Mao Zedong Welcomes Comic books

4/20/2018

We are now with the same publisher as Mao Zedong!
Haha...
And Nietzsche, Gramsci , Walter Benjamin, SLAVOJ ZIZEK
ÉMILE DURKHEIM, ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE, F. SCOTT FITZGERALD and a whole bunch of excellent books... from our new Spanish publisher, AKAL, who I just heard will put out our sociology type comic book, Portraits of Violence, there.
Great company to be in...and they seem to be a very good publisher.

Scene from Trainspotting 2 where the characters are looking at old 70s football scenes from Scotland and correctly noting that most people were thin then (in the UK in general)... but aren’t now.

Since then changes in the food industry has made the average person overweight. and yes, its the faulty of yer best pal, ca-pi-ta-li-sm.

"UK Professor John Yudkin... In 1972, Yudkin wrote a book called Pure, White and Deadly, which outlined how the rise in heart disease correlated to the rise in the consumption of sugar. This was not a popular argument with the influential sugar lobby however and Yudkin was basically black-listed and discredited by powerful sugar-funded opponents. As a result, the case against sugar was forgotten and the low-fat obsession took hold. The result? Obesity rates in the UK are now 10 times what they were in the 1970s and the amount of sugar eaten has increased by 31 per cent since 1990 because of the ‘invisible’ sugar added to products like tomato sauce, soft- drinks, yogurt, baked beans, etc."

So...lets not let these food industry eejits away with making us fat for the sake of profit. Let's control their activities, have strict oversight of what they put in food... and, then, in a very good way, 'take us back to the 1970s.'
