Nanny State PING!
Dear Government:
GET OUT OF MY LIFE!
Safeway, Inc. would need to spend $40.05 million to introduce the carts at its 1,335 stores in the U.S.
this cost of course would be covered by OBAMA-MONEY from “Obama’s Private Stash...”
And the Nanny NAZIS return. Isn’t an all loving (hateful) large Federal Government Grand!? I am sure glad that we love progress..
No other action is required.
This is what happens when the government believe they are paying for your Healthcare - they then think they have the right to tell you how to live and eventually how to die.
Nudge? This sounds like a Cass Sunstein idea.
The idea is that if da gummint be paying the food bill, then they’re entitled to micromanage:
Kay:
Saaaay, if we’re headed to socialized medicine WHY don’t f*ggots have to pay a higher insurance premium cuz of HIV treatment..?
In the system we’re headed towards, straight people will be robbed to SUBSIDIZE f*ggotry.
Sorry, but it’s the same principle.
WHERE does this end? IT DOES NOT.
I don't think you are allowed to buy healthy items with the EBT cards, because I have never seen anybody where I shop do so.
Sorry Nanny Staters. This just isn't going to happen. Ain't gonna happen. Your "expert panel" could have better spent their time and the tax payers' money playing with their navel lint.
They should just put smiley face stickers on good, healthy foods and put frowny face stickers on bad, unhealthy foods.
When is Soylent Green going to be forced on us?
Simply the first steps in telling us what to eat, and how we should eat. After all, Since the government has a vested interest in our overall health, it’s only natural that they approve of what and how we eat.
I’d be ok with SNAP regulation that says welfare can only be spent on raw unprocessed foods: fruits vegetables nuts meat milk eggs fish rice beans flour sugar and salt. Maybe dried pastas and loaves of bread, coffee and tea. Beyond that what does one need to live for food?
It won't sell and the balance of the shelf space will be emptied frequently while the recommended stuff goes to waste. Cooling the additional product destined to be wasted will cost as much as cooling what sells, stocking and restocking the stuff that doesn't sell will require nearly as many man hours as stocking and restocking what sells, so costs go up and waste is deliberately introduced into what is now a self-correcting efficient allocation of resources.
Before you know it there will be recommendations for reducing the size of stores because they waste energy based on how much energy is used per item sold with promotions all around for discovering this massive waste of energy. How very, very, Soviet of them.
Just what's it going to take to get the numb skulls in this country to finally say, "enough is enough"?
Unless Congress passes a law to compel these “suggestions”, then any other approach to force privately owned grocery stores to bend to these “suggestions” is simply more raw fascism on the part of the Obammunists.
Excuse me, but I don't recall her being elected to any position that would require Americans to follow her agenda.
The flip-side of the talking “MyCart grocery cart” coin is the “MyChair” talking toilet.
This is ridiculous!
ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why don’t they ban all junk food? Halloween? Those ladies who shove junk food samples in your hands as you walk by?
Maybe they can put sugar behind the pharmacy counter like they do Sudafed. And marshmallows. And Little Debbie Snack Cakes. And when you want to purchase such, you have to sign a piece of paper and give the pharmacy your drivers license number and social security number so they can put it in the sugar database.
