Read the whole post. There is a quote from a power-mad chef who apparently thinks that the time of people making their own choices has passed. Satire could not top this stuff!

Nanny State PING!

This is great! The Middle East is melting down and there’s probably a nuclear weapon heading for the Big Apple....but you won’t be able to buy a Slurpee anymore. I am so glad these guys have their priorities in order.

Liberals need this kind of love from government. It makes them feel warm and fuzzy inside. ...Blumturd is preparing New Yorkers for their mandatory diet of soylent green.

Sell two cups fused together, each holding 12 ounces or whatever.

That government is best which governs least. What a waste of time and resources for the govt to be doing this. I guess the freedom to choose only applies if one wants to terminate one’s child.

They can see no reason to put this to a democratic vote and abide to the will of the people? So much for that smart and savy New Yorker image if they fall for this.

So the giant drinks might make us fat and ill and that might lead to an earlier death. So the NY government bans giant drinks.
Abortion however, which is certainly going to lead to an early death for the murdered child, is legal.
I am having trouble understanding this.
Pregnancy IS preventable you knowe. Birth control pills have been around that I know of, since the 60’s. Ms. Fluke wants free condoms, but I think since her boyfriend is getting the “free stuff” he should be expected to provide his own. Or the Ms. Flukes of the U.S. could try to keep their panties on for a change.
It really is a mad, mad world

I have no problem with this law. Heck, it probably doesn't go far enough. Most New York City residents clearly don't have the means or intellectual capacity to look out for themselves, so they need someone else to get them through even the most simple elements of their human existence. This just goes to show you that once people have voluntarily given up any pretense about their right to keep and bear arms, they'll allow a despot to come and take just about anything away from them.

That place is so far from anything I've come to know as remotely "American" that I'm surprised you don't need a passport to travel there.

I want a cheeseburger, onion rings and a large orange drink.

A 73 year old lady is beaten raped and robbed by a thug with a long arrest record in broad daylight in Central Park , tourists are being beaten and robbed, armed thugs are roaming the streets,kids are not getting educated and on and on. Yet this @$$hole mayor has nothing better to do than fight 16 oz. soda, fat content in food,and cigarettes while praising donuts and marijuana. Unbelievable!

They’ll get my soda when they pry it from my cold dead fingers....

And last month, the American Beverage Association launched a campaign against the plan, saying, "150 years of research finds that people consume what they want."

Prior to that they didn't need research to tell you that water is wet.

Until freedom is restored...
