Determined to reduce childhood obesity, Mayor Lori Lightfoot moved Wednesday to stop Chicago restaurants from automatically serving kids meals with sugary, high-calorie drinks.

At a City Council meeting, Lightfoot joined City Clerk Anna Valencia in introducing an ordinance that would prohibit Chicago restaurants from serving or marketing pop and other sugary drinks as the “default beverage” with kids meals.

And IL Gov. Jelly Belly Pritzger agrees that all sugary, high calorie drinks must only be allowed for ALL Illinois health conscious politicians like him.

How ‘bout a crackdown on childhood shootings...

[Sacajaweau]

Maybe go back to giving kids milk and STOP BUYING SODA!!

Beetlejuice has made a mess, cratered Michigan Ave. So, now she turns her fetid sights on an issue that clearly should be handled by individuals. No question that she will mess that up too.

And be handily re-elected.

Look. A Squirrel.

Never mind dozens die in Chicago everyweek from BLMing.

Let's make up a new crisis to focus on.

How about a crackdown on crack head overweight, fat @$$ed Commie dimocrat politicians!!!

[Oldeconomybuyer]

FU Larry.

Methinks she has bigger fish to fry than worrying about peoples’ waistlines.

[Mr Rogers]

How about teaching parents about keto and how simple changes can make significant weight loss easy? Heck, if the USA was serious about COVID, the Feds would be pushing keto instead of pushing vaccines.

I'm so glad I have a gov't bureaucrat who can do my thinking for me.

[Skywise]

Maybe she should fix some of the other glaring issues in her city first?

Like childhood criminals looting stores?

Fat Shaming! Fat Shaming! Fat Shaming! You can’t do that. You can’t notice and call anyone, especially a kid, out on being an unhealthy fat slob. My goodness, haven’t these fatcists learned anything in the last 40 years?

[I want the USA back]

All they know how to do is control. Their dream is for the entire world to be under a repressive government that controls every aspect of life.

[ryderann]

Sounds like she’ll be ordering the same school lunches that Michelle forced on the kids.

[struggle]

Just let them shoot the fat kids

[drSteve78]

Mmmmmm, fried fish, and nachos, …

[HighSierra5]

How bout childhood ugliness? She’s way overdue.

[drSteve78]

Leave me and my giant bag of Doritos alone!

[BusterDog]

“Just let them shoot the fat kids.”

*****

Big targets, and they don’t move fast.

[drSteve78]

Not fair to say, but ugly would look better on her than the hideous look she goes for.
