I was reading how California has lifted restrictions on food trucks selling food at rest areas. That is common sense. And that got me thinking that we could be doing some common sense things to help our food establishments here in New Hampshire during the COVID-19 shutdowns.

Court Upholds New Hampshire Ban on Gatherings of 50 People or More
Earlier in the week, the Governor’s Office announced a ban on gathering in groups of 50 or more people. This limitation was immediately challenged in court, and a judge has ruled in favor of the state.
40,000 American’s Lost Their Lives to This in August – Democrats Focus on 53 Killed by Guns
Environmentalists complain about the American diet. Left-Wing politicians pander to their narratives. But they also both see population control as necessary for “saving the world.” Is that why they are ignoring the 40,000 deaths last month linked to obesity?
Again, N.H. House says No to abortion statistics
Cross-posted from Leaven for the Loaf: Naysayers gonna Nay. Given an opportunity to include abortion statistics in a bill regarding collection of health care data, the New Hampshire House ran in the other direction this week. Left unaddressed was the question of why so many representatives who think abortion is health care don’t want to … Read more

Abhor-Shun Clinic to Close
An abhor-shun (Abortion) clinic in Virigina Beach will be closing after 40 years of performing the Democrat parties master-race “eugenics as rights” policies.

The NH Tobacco Tax Increase is Not About Youth Smoking or Public Health…it is a Transfer of Wealth
The Tobacco tax war is underway again, this time in the New Hampshire State Senate, as both sides debate the House passed 0.20 cent per pack tax hike before the Senate Ways and Means Committee. Supporters of the tax point to potential health benefits and a reduction in youth smoking. The Union Leader Article I draw this from is actually titled “Cigarette Tax Increase Seen as Deterrent to Youth Smoking,” but we already know that to be false.
According to the American Lung Associations own publications there has been absolutely no change in the middle-school smoking rate in New Hampshire since at least 2006, despite Democrats more than doubling the cigarette tax, taking it from 0.80/pack to 1.78/pack (plus a 65% wholesale price increase passed by Democrats in 2010).
The Lung Association’s reports for New Hampshire High School age smokers document the rate in 2006 at 20.5% (rising and falling) to settle in at 20.8% for 2010.
We also know that New Hampshire is consistently one of the healthiest states in the nation.
