BOULDER, Colo. (AP) -- Boulder residents will no longer be able to cool off with an ice cream cone by the pool because the city has discontinued the sweet treat as a vending option at all Parks and Recreation facilities.
The city dropped ice cream cones, bars and sandwiches in an effort to cut down on sugary, unhealthy snacks, The Daily Camera reported (http://bit.ly/29c8YoD). City-run facilities can only sell treats that satisfy a series of nutritional standards, meaning chips and other junk food also left snack stands this year.

I’m in the area now. The irony is that people in Boulder are at least 50% smaller that folks in ol’ Kentucky. They know how to take care of themselves, and there is lots to do out here.
Neither here nor there, but whilst striding down the Pearl Street mall, I wondered what might have happened to me if I wore a “Make America Great Again” hat? Probably would have been arrested and sent to a reeducation camp.
Unlimited sales in Colorado and Oregon.
Boulder ... 20 square miles surrounded by reality. (from a Front Range Coloradan ..)
Ok, thanks.
To protect humanity, Boulder should be nuked from orbit. This is the also the city where the creators of South Park grew up and gained there best material. They detest liberals.
‘(where everything is either forbidden, or mandatory’)’
?? America is country of the law and the constitution, normal
Like there’s no other place to get some?
One big fat “YEAHBUT.”
I can buy pot in Colorado, but not ice cream.
They’re just not going to stop, are they?
Ice cream makes people fat like guns kill people. Libs do their best to eradicate personal responsibility.
Well they had to stop selling ice cream because global warming was making it melt. ;-)
Now they will wonder why attendance, pool revenue and vending revenue all took a ‘mysterious’ plunge.
It’s so obvious that this is the fault of those rascally Republicans.
And the Boulder city council, in all their wisdom, will impose a new city-wide sales tax to compensate for this mysterious loss of tax revenue.
Gawd I hate liberals.
When my kids were little they always cried for an apple when I offered them an ice cream cone treat at the beach./s
Madness.
We should all pack marijuana brownies to make the libs happy.

Stoners to march in Boulder on Monday...............
The only pleasure they allow is sex. Boy, are they all about sexual freedom. Any health repercussions from sex must be dealt with by free medical, because God Forbid we hinder people from having sex anywhere, anytime, with anyone.
Then they’ll wonder why suburbs are getting more business and why the sales tax isn’t generating the revenue they anticipated.
I thought wow! Sounds like D.C., but then I realized that D.C. is surrounded by Montgomery County and Fairfax county, just more grifters grifting on the effluvium from the grift capital of the universe.
