How come.......

How come Sioux Valley Hospital bans smoking on their campus for being unhealthy, but only a few months later announce that they're putting "Hot Stuff" meals and snacks in thier new food court?

Maybe they should make the people step off the Sioux Valley property to eat their Hot Stuff goodies.

Because SVH is making money off of Hot Stuff, and because eating unhealthy food is still socially acceptable as opposed to smoking.

You can't fault Kelby for needing his pizza.

I like their incredibly cheese laden pizza as rest as the next person, but *damn*

I'd be the first to say the stuff isn't exactly a "health food." Especially the single servings of egg rolls and cheese balls.

One thing is that there is no way that a pizza is going to second-handedly harm another person, whereas smoking does.

nonnie-look at the societal costs of our overweight nation. I just accused PP of being a hypocrit on another post, now I accuse Sioux Valley. Feels good, espcially since I do so anonymously.

And I just deleted it because of the atrocious spelling, and the fact it amused me at the moment after I saw this comment posting.

Sioux Valley should check out the movie "super size me" and reevaluate their decision.

Money or health. Money wins. We have learned to expect this from our healthcare industry.

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house.

Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on
