“I want to make this a healthier choice.",Menino said.

Uhhhh.....WHAT choice?

[tet68]

Good Bye sweet tea eh.
The hubris of these “officials” is amazing.

[libertarian27]

And don't call me Fat - I'm big boned.....

[Uncle Ike]

Of course, top officials, Public ‘service’ union members, and assorted fellow-travellers and lickspittles will be granted automatic waivers.....

First they ban SALE, then CONSUMPTION, then POSSESSION. This was the cradle of liberty in America, becoming more and more like Stalin’s USSR. Why not an “executive order” telling people to get up off their fat sedentary asses and go work out in a friggin’ GYM??? UP YOURS, TOM!!!!

Another communists feak!

Is there scientific proof that obesity causes health problems like diabetes? Or, are both problems the consequence of age?

For example, I used to be 120 lbs and ate like a horse when I was 25. Now, 15 years later, 2000 calories is all I can handle.

So much for a Coke and a smile...so, everybody must frown.

“I want to make this a healthier choice, the choice I CHOOSE for them” is what he should have said.

I get so irritated by hearing people talking about “healthy choices” because by saying that they take away ANY choice.

link between sugary drinks and rising obesity rates and health care costs.

Mighty big claim to not cite a source. I love the way the MSM just passes along assertions like this one uncritically.

I guess if you are a diabetic, your sugar has dropped to a 50 and you need a real coke you are out of luck.. the mayor decided

Commie!

This is Barbara Ferrera of the Boston Health Board
A shining example of what people are supposed to look like
And strive to be like
So belly-up to the low-fat sugar-free soymilk bar

The Board also banned smoking in all Boston hotels, establishments outdoor areas and loading docks and banned cigarette sales in pharmacies

Party hearty now - Soda will be banned there soon.

People shouldn't be able to purchase soda in drug stores-duh

Drinking a soda before going to sleep in a hotel room will make people gain weight

Outdoor diners shouldn't be seen sipping sodas

Think of the Childrun

[Cyman]

Wish I could ban politicians from city property.

Wonder if he’ll make everyone start drinking their coffee black.

See how that socialized medicine works? The people paying for it get to dictate how you live your life....what used to be your life.

[B.O. Plenty]

Well......

....ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES....

....you people in Boston should ban Menino from Boston government properties.....

[theymakemesick]

Since there’s no sugar in diet Coke, I presume it will still be available /s (I did not read the article because i don’t want to give them the click)

[CSM]

Nope didn’t see this one coming......Can’t say we didn’t warn everyone. How are those bans of smoking on privat property looking now?

Sadly, they are just getting started.....
