No doughnuts under Newsom's SF healthy foods plan
San Jose Mercury News ^ | 07/09/09

Posted on 07/10/2009 7:42:49 PM PDT by freespirited

SAN FRANCISCO—Doughnuts could be a distant memory for San Francisco city workers.

They must now follow "healthy meeting" guidelines under a sweeping initiative unveiled by Mayor Gavin Newsom Thursday to encourage better eating. That means less junk food and smaller portions at staff meetings.

The mayor is also ordering all city departments to help locate vacant or unused city-owned land that could be used to grow food.

Vendors that offer healthy food will get preference for city contracts and permits. All vending machines on city property additionally will have to meet new nutrition standards.

If this is what the mayor has been doing during the fiscal crisis, it's little wonder Kaleefornya is billions of dollars in the hole.

I bet if you wanted to smoke marijuana or sodomize each other during the meeting, it’ll be perfectly acceptable to Gavin.

If there were 2 homos sodomizing a 10 year old kid on the SF city steps that’s normal to Gavin but try to eat a Whopper on the city steps and off to jail you go.

A buddy of mine since High School told me yesterday over lunch about one of his co-workers trips to San Francisco.

This co-worker is gay. The company sent him to San Fransicko on business. My friend said in effect “Congratulations, this is great, you will have a great time.”

One problem....he was also a smoker. He couldn’t smoke anywhere in the city. He lit up in his hotel room and the hotel fined him.

God is funnier than Eddie Murphy and Sam Kinison times a billion. You can’t make this stuff up.

Good luck growing food on contaminated city lots. PCBs make the veggies extra tasty.

I wonder how much food Twosome could grow between his ears? That's vacant and unused space.

Every year SF has a gay fair called “Up Your Alley” —that’s not a joke:

Most men who show up just cruise and gawk at one another, but many men do chose to walk around in public NUDE at this festival, and many fellate one another.

A small number pee on on another (something I cannot really understand), and some even masturbate from 2nd floor windows, as the men below cheer, clap, or snap photos.

The police don’t do anything about this, OK? And the cops are on-scene, watching.

Oh, I almost forgot —if you are an SF city worker, you can compel the city to pay for the sex change operation of your domestic partner, as long as you are registered.

Advice is okay. Coercion is an entirely different thing.
