So mayor Bloomberg is against salt, smoking, sugar in drinks over "x" oz. But for the empty calories in donuts. So he was against sugar on the same day he was for it.
So will they send violators with Big Gulps to fat camps? I've heard authoritarian socialists love camps. Some of them have trouble remembering who ran said camps, but, hey, who would that offend?

There was a great hue and outcry when talk was made to not allow people to use food stamps to buy junk food. "You can't tell me what I can eat".
ReplyDeleteI learned a bit about that reasoning as a child. If the parent is paying for the food, they can, and they WILL tell you what to eat.
But if it's your own money, buy what you want. You want a mega slurpee, I want 2000 rounds of .223.
I have no problem with restricting food stamps to non-junk food. Sounds like a win-win for everyone involved, but too many people get offened that their free money be restricted.
ReplyDeleteBut regulating portions for everyone-screw that. Like you said- if I want to light my money on fire at the range, it's my money.
