Banning large sugar sweetened drinks is a start [The nanny statist speaks.]

Soon we’ll have speakeasies where you give a password at the door and you can come in and buy a big soda.

People get real. Liberals are forcing a higher tax revenue by reducing volume sales. This is a sneaky way to do it. That SOB could give a crap less about sugary drinks.

And who needs 32 ounces of soda at the movie theater?

Ever heard of sharing? When two 16 oz. drinks cost you a total of about $10 and one 32 oz. drink costs about $7.50, we buy the larger one and share.

Dr Mandy doesn’t seem too hep on freedom.

[Slings and Arrows]

Your proposal is acceptable.

[metesky]

Damn it, S and A, we're in the 21st century, not the 20th!

Hip is in, hep is out...

;O)

[Slings and Arrows]

I’m hep to it.

[Smokin' Joe]

Exactly. The less the government does for me, the less it can justify exerting control over me.

The purpose of the Federal Government was to secure the borders, standardize units of measurement and currency, and safeguard my Rights.

Deciding how much of what I eat or drink is my purview, within the limits of my resources.

Jeeze Bloomie, I’m glad you are doing something about the obesity problem. Now I don’t have to step over all the obese people Michelle says are dying in food deserts to get to Circle K’s 44 ounce drinks for 89 cents.

[Alamo-Girl]

Indeed. Thanks for the ping!

No action is truly genuine unless it’s done voluntarily. Free from coercion by the STATE.

Private coercion from family is a different matter. That’s private.

“Let’s be honest – people aren’t exactly making the best choices with their “personal freedom” these days.”

These people make me sick! Sadly, there are a few FReepers that agree....
