Read this ration of sh*t:
The board hand-picked by Mayor Michael Bloomberg that must approve his ban of selling large sugar-filled drinks at restaurants might be looking at other targets.
[O]ne member … thinks limiting the sizes for movie theater popcorn should be considered.
[A]nother board member thinks milk drinks should fall under the size limits. [more]
It just occurred to me …
are these nannies trying to impose a new “kosher” and “halal” on us?
What’s next? Fish on Fridays?

Meanwhile…muffins are bigger than evar!
Yet the liberals try to recall Walker for allowing a person to decide whether or not to give their money to a union. Bloomberg and his ilk should be run out of town on a 40 foot Twinkie.
How long are New Yorkers going to put up with this crap?
I suggest somebody tell them about the word “recall”.
3 Rules.
You don’t bet between a bear and her cub.
You don’t get between a woman and her chocolate.
You don’t get between MikeG and his popcorn.
SondraK(1): Isn’t it sexist to refer to the not-very-aparent boobs of the woman in the photo as “muffins?”
(looks like they forgot the baking powder?)
Oh… thats not what you were thinking. Well, never mind then.
Now they’re clearly just messing with people for, apparently, recreational purposes.
I don’t think everyone is appreciating the point of the Progressive War on Calories:
Unable by temperament, ideology and vested interests to deal with the economic and regulatory quagmire they’ve created; and facing the possible consequences that even liberal voters in financial ruin may heap on them, Progressive Pols are:
a) attempting to change the subject,
b) trying to create “achievements” they can tell the voters about,
… since they sure as hell don’t want to tell the voters about what they have actually achieved.
Someone in comments on the original article suggested they just skip all this nonsense and get right down to just banning all food and drink, since it all has calories and they’re gonna get there eventually anyway.
Not to worry——–cannibalism is startin to catch on, again…..
Hmm …
I wonder if Hizzoner invested in Soylent, Inc.
The peons must not be allowed their 20oz soft drinks when the money could go to more lobster and foie gras for the White House fundraising galas!!!
Time for the “Angry Mob” playset?
KingChiefEmperorMayor Bloombergsteinfinkle said on the radio, “If government is not charged with the health and longevity of its citizens, I don`t know what is!”I would welcome someone to point me to where it says that in Constitution.
(…Longevity can be interpreted as long or short, nes `ce pussy?…)
Will someone please take Bloomberg aside and tell him he’s not The Mommy?
He should be pleased that food packages have been decreasing in size for years: a half gallon of ice cream is rare, candy bars and cereal boxes have been shrinking, and even the cans of soda are tinier on the grocery store shelves.
Popcorn? That is where the theaters make their money–$6.75 for $0.09 of materials and electricity. $0.12 if you count the wage of the kid making it.
One could always fill up on a pricey salad or triple cheese burger before the movie and avoid the popcorn.
Well, now they’re saying we drink too much water and shouldn’t take calcium supplements. So there’s THAT.
HeadMissy, the only one that gets to tell me I’m drinking too much water is my urologist. And I only listen to him because he’s gettin’ paid to tell me.
If cities and states have the authority to become totalitarian fascists, then we are *NOT* a free country, at all. There is no REASON for a Constitution if it’s null and void *EVERYWHERE*.
And the fact that people want to do this to us – just sickening. Pathetic power-mad control-freak scum.
