New York City Major Michael Bloomberg is claiming one more casualty before he officially ends his reign as overreaching Nanny, with the City Council debating a ban on plastic-foam takeout containers.
The City Councils sanitation committee is gearing up for a hearing on the future of the takeout containers set to take place Monday, The Associated Press reported. Members of the board are contemplating proposals to either ban the containers outright or explore options to recycle them.

This is why federalism is so critical and why a large federal level regulatory regime is so un-American. Let the 50 states compete. Let the cities become so expensive that no one can live there but the very, very wealthy and the very, very poor (who are subsidized).

That would certainly reduce the possibility of finding gun shaped pieces of Styrofoam.

"They are already recyclable - dont these dummies ever check the bottom of the package?"They probably intend to go the "5 cent bottle deposit" route.

Pour that soup, mash taters and cold slaw in the bag. That’s going to go over really well. Next we’ll have to bring our own containers just like those nasty eco grocery bags.

They don’t seem to realize that styrofoam keeps the drinks cold and the food warm for a while...and nothing else does that.
