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

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.

You’re saying if someone is truly an adult, they’ll never consume a donut, ever? That seems pretty extreme. I wouldn’t eat one every day or even once a week any more than I’d have a soda that often, but a couple donuts a few times a year isn’t going to kill you or even harm you.

I think that in this case , since the city contracts vendors , they have the right to decide what foods are available . If you want to eat crap like doughnuts on your own time you are free to do so .

This case of Schadenfreude I have is going to require many hours of intense psychotherapy. :-) Not. It just makes me giddy and I can't help it.

I'll say it again....If I had a dollar for every fat woman who waived their sausage like fingers in front of their face to waive away my cigarette smoke (back when I used to smoke tobacco) and then dove back into their desert....I'd have more money than Bill Gates.

I told the fat cow that she would be next to be rounded up in the boxcar but they would have to put her in there by herself because there would be no room for anyone else. Her tattooed boyfriend threw a punch at me.

"Your right to eat burgers, hot dogs, donuts and get hypertension and diabetes ends where my wallet and tax dollars begin."

If Gubmint is paying for your healthcare in a Faustian bargain, it's their right to intervene. Welcome to Socialism 101.

San Francisco, where barebacking is allowed but eating creme puffs are not.

"Eat a poofter, not a puff!"

"You can pack fudge, but don't you dare eat any!"

I had Krispy Kream donuts one time... now I have this recurring nightmare that the KK shop locks the door just as I put my clammy shaking hand on the door handle...

I agree that this is nanny statish but some people have got to be told that they are eating crapola that’ll kill them sooner more than later .

You can not honestly believe that people don't know this, can you ?

Don’t forget that in San Fransicko you can inject IV drugs under supervision at a clinic....in a non-smoking environment of course.

but some people have got to be told that they are eating crapola

As if they're not told everyday by TV ads, magazines, neighbors, doctors, etc. etc. etc. etc.

Get real.

“Eat a poofter, not a puff!”

“You can pack fudge, but don’t you dare eat any!”

LOL. With creative slogans like that, I nominate you to head the San Fran Tourism and Commerce Board.
