(CNSNews.com) – The House health-care reform plan unveiled last week by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) would do more than regulate insurance companies – it would even regulate vending machines.

The bill, which is posted online, would require that vending machine operators either create new machines that allow the customer to view nutrition facts or post nutritional information for each product near “each article of food or the selection button.

If I’m getting food from a machine, I’m not interested in nutrition....I’m just damn hungry.

Forgot to add ~ Nancy and her husband serve poisonous foods in their restaurants, and they laugh about it.

Pelosi and Reid’s DeathCare is their attempt to legalize the destruction of millions via denying and rationing care.

Watch and remember; this can and is happening again.

"There’s no more detestable word in the English language: Pelosi." Hmmm...that's a tough call...along the lines of "after you take an Obama be sure wipe your Pelosi".

What this will do is drive self-employed people in the vending machine business out of business.

Liberal stupidity never fails.

“Hey many, what’s your job?”
“I go around regulating and checking vending machines for the government. Cool, huh?”

Well first she must teach the masses to read first

Will they also be required to be translated into Spanish? Or perhaps there will be a new service number - 611 ( or maybe 666) which provides for free translation of snack machine information into any number of Third World hellhole languages on demand?

We wouldn't want any of our illegal "guests" to be inadvertently turned into Amerincanesque fatties now would we?

Understand that most vending machines are owned by organized crime. If you don’t believe that, try and put in machines in popular areas. Pelosi knows that also.

These leftists take us all for morons. If we want a coke or a snickers bar from a vending machine who the hades needs to read the ingredients before inserting the coins. Then they will require ingredients posted in espanol, francois, arabic, swahili, etc..... you know the score!

She really is a vile witch.

Can someone photoshop a picture of the Wicked Witch of the West with her face - you know, the black outfit, the broomstick, the black pointed hat - or something similar?
