More adding costs to businesses. NYC is stuck on stupid.

This will surely help the people who didn’t already know that doughnuts contain sugar. It’s good that the government has now solved the obesity epidemic. Is there nothing they cannot do?

I have no problem with consumers being informed about what’s in the food they’re consuming. The free markets require the consumer to be able to identify what they are purchasing.

The food supply and pharma supply have basically been poisoned by big corps that the MIC neoCON scum worship over the health and safety of main street Americans.

Travel services should slap “Stupid Warnings” on all ticketed travel inbound for NYC.

What about High Fructose Corn Syrup?

[hinckley buzzard]

Because I always look for advice on healthy eating from a fat slob of a mayor.

[FamiliarFace]

Won’t that count as added sugar?

[LRoggy]

Anyone who hasn’t figured out that sugar isn’t exactly the best thing for you will not care what label is on anything.

The ninnies up north are truly making Denis Leary’s lecture in Demolition Man more and more prophetic:

Bob Dole made a huge mistake in his campaign defending big tobacco. Conservatives would be wise not to do the same with other products that are clearly harmful... there is nothing wrong with requiring proper labeling so consumers can make informed decisions. But this will upset their corporate donors / puppet masters.

When will NYC mandate a Warning Label for Taxes are included in the product you brought?

[ridesthemiles]

What next?

Warning demanded on STREET DRUGS???

If anything deserves a warning label, it is the government.
If anyone deserves a warning label, it is the politicians.

[imabadboy99]

No argument there. THey need to wear labels like race car drivers of who their ‘sponsors’ are

[EinNYC]

Let's see...you've got high crime, high rents, high taxes, a horde of ungrateful illegal criminal invaders committing crimes, a major drug problem...and the brain dead legislators want to slap a sugar warning on food.

DUH.

Orange juice has the same caloric count per serving as Coke

[dforest]

Are New Yorkers too dumb to know there is sugar in foods?

[moovova]

What about a black Starbucks coffee?

[lepton]

Didn’t they pass a law outlawing ‘body-type’ (”Fat-shaming”) discrimination?
