I find this entire thing astonishing.
I grew up in a generation that played war with toy guns and rifles and “smoked” candy cigarettes until we were old enough for the real ones.
In the wonderful fifties we smoked,drank martinis,drove too fast without seatbelts,and ate whatever we damned well wanted to eat.(And that included soda and potato chips.
We didn’t grow up violent or fat,and most of us lived longer than our life expectancy.
Bloomie is in serious need of psychiatric care——there is a lot more going on here than caring for the health of New Yorkers.

I’m a good bit younger than you, but I grew up the same way........and in NYC - of course long before the Bloominidiot took over. I was gone from there 30 years this past October!
