  • After soda ban proposal, NYC officials set sights on popcorn and milk shakes.

    id rather they ban cigarettes honestly and thats coming from a smoker



    Watch out, moviegoers -- Nanny York City is taking aim at yet another of life's gluttonous pleasures.
    On the heels of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's call for a ban on jumbo-sized sodas and other sugary drinks, city officials are now considering restrictions on treats ranging from popcorn to milkshakes.
    At a meeting Tuesday, members of the New York City Board of Health expressed support for Bloomberg's proposal. They then started brainstorming other ways to cut the fat, according to MyFoxNY.com.
    Member Bruce Vladeck proposed limiting movie-theater popcorn containers.
    "The popcorn isn't a whole lot better than the soda," he said.
    Another member suggested limits for milkshakes and "milk-coffee beverages."
    The board, whose members were appointed by Bloomberg, will vote on the mayor's drink proposal -- but agreed to a six-week, public-comment period before taking a vote, according to MyFoxNY.com.
    Bloomberg has said the drink ban is an attempt to fight obesity in the city.
    His first-in-the-nation ban, formally announced May 31, would limit sweet drinks to 16 ounces at venues across the city -- from restaurants to street carts to movie theaters. However, the proposal allows refills.
    The ban would not apply to diet sodas, fruit juices, dairy-based drinks or alcoholic beverages. Nor would it include drinks sold in grocery or convenience stores. Food establishments that don't downsize would face fines of $200.
    Bloomberg, who took office in 2002, has also taken a tough stance on foods with trans fats and smoking. He has put a stiff tax on cigarettes packs and has banned smoking in workplaces, parks and beaches.
    The New York City Restaurant Association is fighting the drink proposal and is considering legal action of it goes into effect.
    Association spokesman Stefan Friedman recently called the proposal "zealous." He said officials should seek solutions that are actually going to curb obesity.

      Yo.

      Bloomberg was the same douchebag who claimed FULL SUPPORT for term limits when he initially ran for office..........and then used the city council to make a special exception for his ass to allow himself to run for a 3rd term "becuz the city was in a financial crisis, and to change leadership then would be unwise."

      and like FUCKING SHEEP, the ppl in my city gave it to him.

      so yea, fuck Mike Bloomberg. that asshole. he took away accountability when he jacked up the prices of cigs, then basically forbade ppl from smoking them in any place *but* their homes.......and Ive heard talk he wants to take THAT away too.

        Welcome to America....where everyone has their nose in everyone else's business.
        Now you'd never call Erwin a "Wussy"
        Nor label his working day "cushy"
        But you might have to question
        His endless obsession
        With superpositional pussy.

                  doubtful. hes been having too much fun as a Republican, so I doubt he'll *ever* change parties (not that he'd need to since he gets so much support from his party).

                      There really is, Tazz.
                      Oh sure they both lie and cheat, but when it comes to platform and planks they are not one in the same.

                      Or maybe to you they are.

                        They both have their heads stuck so deep in their respective sands, that sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.

                              One party says I can get married to whomever I want and have the right to bodily autonomy. The other doesn't.

                              So while they're both fucking me rotten, at least the Democrats bought me dinner first.
