They might as well put up a swastika flag on New York City hall. The german nationalist socialists were the first health nazi's. hitler was vegetarian and the nazi's also started the first anti-smoking campaign.

Also popcorn is a whole grain, I guess whole wheat bread will be next.

...yeah this is what’s going to fix the problems in New York...

[mykroar]

Guess I’ll call George Castanza and we can eat a bucket of cheese as big as our heads (and I have a big head).

[silverleaf]

Next, french fries, ice cream, cheeseburgers, lasagna, pie, cake, twinkies!, barbeque, chips

Also no beer

NYC will become the broccoli capital of the world, imagine all the slim folks

How come noone has mentioned the obvious- no food stamps accepted for hi calorie food

[dragonblustar]

New Jersey could benefit from the fed up New Yorkers.

[Hodar]

Popcorn? Why not potato chips, pizza, lasagna, ice cream and a host of other calorie-rich snacks?

What astounds me that 40+% of the Sheeple in NYC approve of this. I’m utterly flabbergasted that the number approving of this is actually above 5%.

[GreyFriar]

Of course they ignore the fact that there are some families out here who buy the biggest drink and popcorn combo and then share it among several people. That is what we do, 1 big soda and popcorn shared by my wife, 2 daughters and myself. And the jumbo sodas are half to 3/4s filled with ice cubes before the soda is put into the cup.

Let New York hit all those high caffeine drinks at Star Bucks!

[Vigilanteman]

Also popcorn is a whole grain . . .

Not only that, but it is rich in fiber and roughage. It is the butter and salt which makes it less than healthy.

[mass55th]

Can’t eat corn, popcorn or nuts, but if I could and lived in NY city, I’d be up in arms.

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

I understand Bloomberg has a thing for Cheez-Its, so at least those are safe.

[Brilliant]

Calling NY government officials Nazis is an insult to Nazis.

“Earlier at the meeting, it was revealed that the city’s obesity crisis causes 5,800 deaths a year and costs taxpayers $4billion annually.”

BS, pure BS and I would love to see how they arrived at those figures. I’m sure it was assumed that obesity was always a contributing factor no matter the cause listed on the DC.

[cripplecreek]

Chairs and sofas lead to obesity too.

[AAABEST]

If I go to New York, can I eat regular canned corn with butter and salt? How about corn on the cob with butter and salt? I suppose the act of popping the stuff makes it illegal.

Insane, illogical morons. By the time they're done, the neo-Victorian statists will have everyone eating specific administered doses of tofu and white beans.

And who is the pudgy little bastard Bloomberg to tell ANYONE how to be healthy?

[MAexile]

First they came for the soda...

[Fast Moving Angel]

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Hey Dumberg, I’m going to buy a Whitman’s Sampler and eat it. Try to stop me!

This is beyond stupid.

[Smedley]

I just came back from a business trip in Japan. I didn’t see ten fat Japanese the entire trip. Mostly, I attribute that to the better-quality foods and smaller portions. Americans eat too damn much crap.

With that said, I’m all for pushing public awareness on eating issues and banning New York politicians

[mountainlion]

So when do they step over the line and get charged with practicing medicine without a license?
