It'll still cost the same, of course.
Earth calling Michelle and the Mars Corporation: People, including children, who want to will now eat two candy bars instead of just one. So what’s next, rationing? Packaging labels similar to tobacco products? A federal registry of candy purchases? Even Orwell didn’t think of that.
This is kind of silly.
People prone to eating too much candy aren’t going to stop just because the large size isn’t sold any more.
Personally, I like to buy the tiny candy bars. But whatever size I want to buy should be my choice, not the government’s.
What is it with politicians who think they have the right to control every aspect of other peoples’ lives?

Puke...

Subject: I'm going to miss your productsI will miss purchasing your products. Having enjoyed them for the past 60+ years, I never would have expected to be boycotting them.
Your agreement with the Partnership for a Healthier America to reduce your products' sizes has prompted me to take this step. Believe it or not, I am quite capable of deciding what and how much I eat. I neither need, nor want, you or Michelle Obama to "help" me.

Government Snickers? Another company I’m through with for life.
Sometimes when they ruin things you can’t go back and fix them easily. As with the pork chop. This is my second pork chop post on FR. They took away the marbling in the interest of making it lower-fat and you now get a big piece of asbestos which all the applesauce in the world will not help.
I was in the restaurant of a famous chef about a year ago and saw pork chops on the menu. I debated my choice, but couldn’t resist finding out how he made them. They were tiny (PETA, weep and moan, these were probably piglets and locally raised “artisan” animals), tender, and partly encased in an extra-buttery pastry crust that complemented them beautifully.
Sad what we have to do to make up for the adventures of culinary ignoramuses.
This isn’t exactly new. I’ve seen candy bars decrease in size over the years. The manufacturers are doing it to keep the prices the same as the contents’ costs have increased. Just like spaghetti sauce (30 down to 24 ounces), peanut butter (18 to about 16), ice cream (2 quarts down to 1.5), and now orange juice cartons (look closely—only 59 ounces now) have done.
Now, they have an excuse—they’re cutting calories!
Rebel me would say to just by two regular sized Snickers bars and get 560 calories or I’ll just keep buying the six pack for $3 at Wal-Mart and eat as many as I darn well please.
America has brought this upon herself (the majority that voted her husband into office) and this is only the tip of the iceberg. When we allowed he Government to take over our health care for us, we gave the Government the power to tell us what to put into our bodes.
This will continue until Obamacare is repealed.
When you buy a large chocolate, you might toss some of it away.
But when you buy a bag of mini bite size chocolates, you eat ten of them.
Yo meeen?
{Sigh} Now they come for my Snickers.
How about Mooshelle hitting KFC for "fat food", or all the rib joints of the Inner-Cities?
She targets ONLY whitey's products, that's why.
If she is so concerned about the "health" of children, why not try getting the 70%+ black baby births-out-of-wedlock knocked out with fathers having to be Identified, in order to qualify for EBT's, Food Stamps, Welfare, and Medicaid? And, in the "interest of a Healthier America", why not drug-testing for the same EBT's, Food Stamps, Welfare, and Medicaid? THAT would leave a lot more money in Taxpayers' pockets for quality food than token "extortion" from manufacturers, who risk government interference with their business if they don't co-operate with knuckling under to mandates that are NOT Law.
While we're at it, let's have National Voter ID, so ONLY those who can legally vote (once each) to eliminate multi-voting and dead voters, the vast majority of which are from inner-city parasitic tribe areas?
Then, with fewer non-taxpayers voting, we can direct the country's resources toward more focused spending on what the TAXPAYERS want, instead of the parasites.
My note to Mars:
You might want to check with Olive Garden and see how signing on with the Partnership for a Healthier America went for them. Allowing Michelle Obama and P.H.A. to determine your product line has cost you my business. I really like your Simply Caramel Milky Way but I’ve already found an alternative. In the recent past I bought many of your products for my office and personal use but I will no longer buy ANY of your products.
So what stops people from buying 2 regular instead? These people are idiots. It’s all about control for them. Idiots. And of course Mars agrees because people will now have to pay more for the product if they want the extra because they will have to buy two. Arghhhhhh!!!! How do voters not see this manipulation?!?!?!?!
