California ... law aims to ban yet another thing liberals don't like
Foxnews ^ | 8/21/18 | Lauren DeBellis Appell

Posted on 08/21/2018 7:16:10 AM PDT by Blood of Tyrants

In the latest episode of “Banished!” by the People’s Republic of California, Governor Jerry Brown is likely to sign a bill that prohibits restaurants from offering anything other than milk or water with their kids’ meals, under the pretense of preventing obesity.

Effectively they’re telling parents they’re not capable of being trusted with their children’s health. It’s Big Brother Knows Best vs. mom and dad.

They want to control what little Johnny and Susie drink with their kids’ meal. If restaurants don’t play along they could be fined up to $500. So now California isn’t just the nanny state, it’s also the bully state.

Wait a second- milk? That means more cows requiring more land, water and cow farts destroying the ozone layer. Oh the twisted minds of LIEberals.

What kind of idiot feeds their kid Diet Coke?

I drink far more pop than my adult kids do, and for me, a case of 12 cans will last for a month or two.

But I would never feed my kids the chemical cocktail diet drinks.

That said, if some legislative idiot tries to tell me what my kid can drink, I’m coming in with a full size big gulp.

It won’t be long now, and you won’t have to bother with having a wasteful, unproductive day. California will plan your day out for you. The ultimate socialism,communist end game.

Yeah, but what kind of parent allows their kids to drink HFCS infused soda?

That’s child abuse right there.

Not that I care about somebody else’s kids, nor do I think government has a role, but it’s clearly abuse.

“150 calories per cup of whole milk vs. zero for diet soda. Brilliant.”

Milk vs poison.

And if a parent really wants their kid to have a soda, they could just order them a regular meal instead of a kids meal. What Libs really need to do is fine parents who attempt to give their kids sodas at all. That’ll fix everything.

Just another attempt by the California Democrat Limousine Liberals to drive the middle class out of THEIR state.

There are not enough Limousine Liberals in California to elect liberal wackos to a 2 to 1 majority in the state assembly and state senate and a 100% majority for the seven elected executive offices. The middle class in California is very much responsible for the liberal sickness that is pervasive in that state, and they are spreading the sickness to Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and Texas as they flee the liberal sickness that they created..

Yep, I think that pretty well sums it up.

“You’ll be happy, have many friends, etc if you drink this fluid with artificial colorings and flavors, corn syrup, carbonic acid, and speed.”

I gave up all soda pop completely five years ago.

I wasn’t able to discern any beneficial effects.

They come close to Taliban behavior when it comes to destroying monuments or statues.

A 7 ounce coke or mountain dew after lunch gives me inertia to 4:00

The measure is approved for this 76 yo diabetic

California is completely lost. What else can we assume when they pass these unbelievably moronic and fascist laws and the inhabitants still elect them in super-majority numbers?

Aspartame is far worse for you than corn syrup or sugar.

You win the Internet for best new word!

Caliban - a liberal in California who wants to literally control your entire life because they don’t think you are smart enough to do it yourself.

under the pretense of preventing obesity.


None of California’s business. But look at random pictures of kids/adults in 1900 or 1960 and count the number of fat ones and compare with today. I don’t know what it is. My grandma cooked with lard. Probably sent grandpa to an early grave at 86, but he was a skinny guy. Maybe more hard work, outdoor play back then?

Again, none of Cali’s business, but we are doing something wrong today, and it seems like the poorer you are, the fatter you are.

A California Legislature member from COMPTON or CARSON—in SO Calif—tried to get cows BANNED from California last year.

I would bet that fool never saw a cow up close.

I’m always amused by the “low flush” toilets they keep pushing. Soon they will tell us that we can’t flush them more than once, even though they take numerous flushes to effectively evacuate the bowl.

My large Texas city did sponsor a low-volume toilet give-away. I took the bait. Sorry I did. These toilets are jokes.
