They instituted mandatory reporting of high blood sugar to the city, way before the electronic records thingy. They tried to end Happy Hour. They tried to ban salt shakers from restaurants. They succeeded in getting the calorie counts on the menus at the fast-food places. Lots of packages have the word “Good for Sharing” on the wrapper, so you don’t eat the whole candy bar. They did away with the trans-fats so that everything tastes like Vaseline. I think there must be more that I can’t think of.
This sounds like the beginning of dark fairy tale in which the world is grey and unappealing. That “good for sharing” gives it an ominous communistic slant and the end of happy hour part, out of context, makes me shudder.
Thank-you firebrand for this information. I tried Googling more about this dr. and the Bloomberg’s health commission because of my curiosity, but I did not get as deep as your summary.
