FOOD POLICE: Mayor Bloomberg's Soda Ban Proposal Could Include... POPCORN

As you can see in the article, Nexera Consulting is involved.

Lookie what we have here (under the section entitled "Regulatory & Government Resources").

And now we see what's going on here...

If anything, people should be taught moderation of, or even abstinence from, certain foods that pack on pounds, not have laws against food products.

^that^ and my personal business and individual freedom.

In all honesty - this skit rings in my head all the time and has been one of the most helpful pieces of advice I ever heard.

We do NOT need Government Intervention - Just Stop It!!

Hola, SG. How are ya?

^^with butter^^

Maybe they're saving us from the eeeeeevil GMO corn? But I really doubt it. This is just another way for corporations such as Nexera to make money, and lobby for their fav politicians... to make more money.

Obvious plan is obvious.

Or Bloomberg in Darth Vader attire wielding a light saber over a table of popcorn and soda.

All the time. How do I know? I work at a popcorn factory :-). Seriously.

Muchos gracias!

TOO MANY FAT AMERICANS!! THATS WHY

Actually, soda is insanely bad for teeth and gums as well.

Still, I think the focus should be on good health and awareness, and not outlawing consumable products to make sleazy corporations and the government more money.

This truly isn't about our health. It's all about $$$.

Hi, TW!!!

So first they completely screwed-up with animal and saturated fat and salt (they are both harmless in a moderate carbohydrate environment) and have manufactured this obesity and health epidemic, and now they want people to eat exactly what?! Grass and leaves?!
I don't eat popcorn or drink soda, but man did they fuck-up people's minds as to what is healthy. Now everything is off-limits and/or dangerous, except prepackaged wheat grains which are probably the worst health hazard of all.

In red. Spot on.

My grandfather told me that as well.

I have one of those old fashioned air poppers. Makes the best popcorn in the world. Doesn't need butter or salt.

People will be sucking dicks for popcorn soon

Your post:

Wow, Bloomberg's really got his priorities straight. Who elected HIM dietician of New York City?

Thank you for your intelligent, informative and well thought-out post.

I thought Mayor Bloomberg was "pro-choice?"

communist

it is a nessasary evil since we have so many glutonus hoggs who cant control the urge to ingest whatever is in theyre path, i mean just look around i am appalded at the way some of theses people look so fat they need to ride a wheel chair shopping cart and god help you if you are stuck behind one in the check out at the supermarket.

You mean i cant get my 30 oz coke from whataburger anymore in NY?!?? WHAT THE FUCK

Are New Yorkers so normalized to living under Big Brother Bloomberg's government tyranny that they are going to put up with that?

Geez, you people in NY are hopeless. May God have mercy on your souls when the sh*t hits the fan, because if you don't have enough spine to deal with having coke and popcorn at the movies taken away by the nanny state, you are doomed.

Exactly....best tasting snack around

You will find out in September, when the vote occurs.

Bloomberg says you're fat, and it's bad for you. He's trying to help you lose weight and get healthier. He loves you!

(that was sarcasm btw) ;)

I can't believe people are all anti-Monsanto on this site, but don't realize the nature of the horrifyingly addictive chemicals that are put into food.


For God's sake, people, Phillip Morris owned Kraft for over a decade!!! They unleashed some of the most addictive chemicals known to man INTO food!!!

But everybody still blames the fat people????

They claimed for years that cigs were not addictive. Then it became incontrovertible that they WERE and Phillip Morris went out and bought one of the largest food distributors in the world.

Since then, obesity went from a problem to an epidemic.

he smokes dope don't he?
