San Francisco officials are deciding whether to impose a warning on ads for a favorite drink of children and a bane of public health advocates: Sugary soda pop.

In Liberaland the peasants are assumed to be too stupid to know what is good for them. If they keep electing socialist busybodies, they are.

Warning — drinking sugary soda may make you too fat to engage in unprotected sodomy or to marry another man.

In the end, it’s all gonna be about taxes...just like cigarettes. And then chips and dips and everything else. Oh hell....just put a 1% Federal Tax on all food so they can keep the Fed pre-school baby sitting programs.

Did they ever consider issuing health warnings about the dangers of anal sex? The health effects of that are certainly ore toxic tot he system than a sugary drink.
