No Scoop For You: Boulder's Pools Drop Ice Cream In Name Of Healthy Vending

This time of year, Andrew Gafford, who's almost 8, is visiting Boulder's Spruce Pool on a daily basis.
And though he's learning to live with the fact that the pool has banned the sale of Neapolitan ice cream sandwiches his longtime snack bar go-to he's still prone to spurts of heartache.
"I'll get over it, but then it brings back a lot of memories of me getting ice cream sandwiches," Andrew said. "Like this one time, when I was eating one very slowly, so it melted all over me. It makes me feel sad to say."
He'd start going to the Scott Carpenter Park Pool instead, if it'd make a difference. But it would not.
As of this summer, ice cream has been discontinued as a vending option for all Boulder Parks and Recreation facilities.
That's because the ice cream bars previously being sold have larger portion sizes and higher sugar and fat content than is allowed under the city's latest guidelines. Today's Boulder-sanctioned snacks must satisfy a series of nutritional standards, which govern not only ice cream and sandwich-based ice cream variants, but apply also to everything from nuts, chips, packaged fruits, cereal, cookies and pudding.

Probably require a vendor's license, and you know they won't issue one. Social Engineering, Rocky Mountain style.

If it were only Boulder.
Denver is almost as crazy, and full of illegals.

Liberals want to literally control your entire life. There is NOTHING you can do that the liberals don’t believe that they know better than you.

My daughter was hanging out after school and a teacher went up to the vending machine. He looked for awhile and said “How come it is ALL health food!?”
My daughter replied “Oh - You can thank Michelle Obama for that!”
He gave her a snarky look and bought a granola bar.
Sadly though, first they will force you to buy healthy food, and then they will force you to buy health insur...., oh wait.

Moved from Colorado 23 years ago.....miss the mountains, their beauty changed daily depending on the lighting or the season. I am so happy to be living in a, sort of sane place now. CO had become a wretched place to raise children in a conservative home. It started in the late 70’s when the Californians started to get out of their high tax cesspool
Sadly, they “californicated” Colorado with liberal ideas.
Wouldn't go back if they paid me! Boulder? Two daughters graduated from CU and are an embarrassment.

That is such a pathetic thing to do.
I’d stop going to the areas that they ban ice-cream at.
I’ve never seen ice-cream as being unhealthy, not even as an adult. They should not be telling other people how to feed their kids.
