The Obamas seemed obsessed by calories.

A good psychiatrist might help them——then maybe not.

Moosechelle Obola certainly should count her/her calories, based on that wide caboose of hers/his...

If the 0bamacare regulators buy in bulk and hire us at minimum wage to do the taste testing, we can measure our weight gain and predict calorie count.

They are not obsessed with calories...red herring...the ARE obsessed, however in tearing down anything successful, especially when it is a feel good item like this. Germany has been buying hops from us for goodness sakes, so craft breweries are something that would draw ire from our pajama boy dictator.

Crony capitalism at its worst. Craft beer must be taking too much market share from the bigs. A standard 12 oz beer has a maximum of about 230 calories. A standard 12 oz light beer has about a 100 calories.

That is more than enough calorie info for a person drinking beer. A chemist running tests might want more accurate info, but normally it doesn’t matter.

While this sucks, brewing your own takes on a more economical taste and when one must branch beyond the moronic government controls, it’s best to keep the stills and other crops growing and working on other than your own property.

I don’t think Trump cares how many calories are in beer and he’ll replace Ocare.

I hope he repeals ObamaCare. I hope he doesn’t keep any of it. Repeal and replace, if he must.

“The Obamas seemed obsessed by calories.”

It’s called ‘orthorexia’.

Thanks for that INCREDIBLE link.

For larger beer companies, this is a drop in the bucket, but for small, local craft brewers it represents a substantial cost that they must pay.

A few lines inserted into Obamacare by the big beer companies, no doubt, in exchange for a generous political contribution.

What do Americans like? What brings them joy? What brings them a little relief when they need it?

Let’s destroy it.

Over and over and over again.

If THIS doesn’t get the (few) moneyed millenials on Trump’s side, nothing will.
