Berkeley is overwhelming liberal Democrats.

This is an admission liberal Democrats need laws to stop them from making bad food choices.

The ordinance is “really good behavioral economics,” Harrison said in the meeting. “It facilitates better choices for consumers but does not limit what they can buy.”

Newspeak at its finest

[DownInFlames]

So long fast food. You’re next.

[ConservativeInPA]

I have to laugh at these ass-clowns. If they want government to micromanage every move and decision they make, so be it. It’s their choice to live to live in tyranny. It’s my choice to never go to Berkeley again or any other stinkin’ leftist hell hole.

When I was a grocery bagboy in the late 1970's, little kids would start getting upset with mommy if they didn't get a candy bar. The yelling would get so bad, that the moms started blaming the cashier and ME.

Of course the Supermarkets put that kind of food at the checkout. Supermarkets are heavily invested in psychology.

Self discipline is not a strong trait among Liberals.

Headline:

Anti-Fascists Ban Candy

[rellimpank]

—high on the list of pressing California problems—(sarc)—

[IronJack]

Micromanage much?

[rktman]

Pssssstttttt. These items are still available outside berzerklee proper. Pass it on. But keep it on the down low.

A more appropriate description would be ‘fascist food control’.

And what’s to prevent a store from placing candy bars very near, but not at, a checkout line? Nothing. So I suppose Berkeley’s next move will be to appoint a group of Candy Commissars.

[JBW1949]

I, myself, don’t even mess with those candy bars along the checkout...

(I get mine from the candy aisle in those BIG bags!!!!!)

[BusterDog]

What amazes me is that with so many problems, this is what they focus on. So much smoke and mirrors, showmanship, posturing fakeness.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Future conversation at the county jail:

“What are you in here for?”

“Sugar. Soda, Juicy Fruit, cookies...”

[Pilated]

People there are voting to have themselves live in a gulag. Good for them just keep it there and away from me. Will the noninvited dwellers there stay without candy?

[bgill]

So, instead of grabbing one candy bar at the checkout, people will have to go down an aisle and buy a whole bag of candy.

[LouAvul]

Bezerkly. Who cares? The worst city in the worst state in the nation. You have to work hard for that distinction.

[newfreep]

To paraphrase Homer Simpson...

“Thank God we have Berkeley politicians - they know everything.”

[The Great RJ]

Such petty fascism would become routine under a Biden-Harris administration

[dfwgator]

I’m sure there will still be a bunch of high-carb, highly-processed crap they’ll be selling.

[Rebelbase]

Press figs into a turd shape and packages them as Gavin Newsome Chews, hung front and center at checkout.
