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.

The Gubmint isn't adding to the problem. The problem is none of their business.

Think back to Prohibition. That worked out well, didn't it?

I don't appreciate the Gubmint making me an overnight lawbreaker by imposing their version of what's good for me. Either way, you are entitled to your opinion. My distrust of Gubmint increases 100 fold each and every day.

So would I and I often do, but your aversion to fried sweetened dough seems to border on an obsession. Get help, preferably at a donut shop.

I honestly think a majority of Americans are stupid and or ignorant .

The Democratic Party agrees with you so maybe you should hook up with them.

You are part of the problem, and don’t even realize it. Arguing with you would be fruitless, but your ignorance is astounding.

Nazi.

Honestly, the fried dough covered in sugar sounds a lot more tasty. And healthier.

I'm allergic to fish, but I know I'll never get sick eating a donut. The problem with donuts--or any food--is not inherent in the food, it's in the choices made by the person who eats the food. Pigging out on a dozen donuts is bad. So is pigging out on a dozen fresh fish with rice. Moderation and balance are the key.

And they think everyone will show up without them?

Good point. What's to keep them from showing up with a donut they paid for themselves? So far there's no law against eating one, but a lunatic carbo-nazi would tell them to stand outside and eat it---10' away from the building.

I prefer sashimi to both your options, but I most emphatically DO eat ALL the above, with relish!

No one is stopping you. But don't tell the rest of us what to do. This is the major reason (but far from the only) that I'm against the government running the health care system. They would be little Nazis. They would tell you what you could eat and how much. They are totalitarians.

Newsom is cut from the same cloth. He's a little dictator. The liberals in SF are so stupid they can't see what's happening to them. First the came for the Jews but I wasn't Jewish so I didn't care, then they came for the Trade Unionists but I wasn't a trade unionist....

You are equating eating a dozen fried doughnuts to eating 12 pieces of sushi ? LMFAO ! Check the fat / calorie / etc content and get back to me ! Unreal .
