There's really very little difference between big Federal govt and New York state Govt or even NYC government..they are all gigantic bureaucracies. Mcdonalds and most fast food restaurants have had calorie count information available in pamphlets and on their websites for about 20 years now. Then NYC says, "No, we want to FORCE people to see what they are eating!!!"
It's silly. Anyway, 50 calories of white flour bread is far worse for you than 50 calories of chicken, but their little menu boards don't tell you that. People choose to eat things that are bad for them..I just ate a donut because someone brought them in to the office..I know they are terrible for me, but I made the choice.

They are all gigantic bureaucracies for sure, but in terms of law making there is a huge difference.
As far as the calorie boards go... ever since the calorie boards have been put up, I stopped ordering any of starbucks' pastries. For the minimal cost to put up the calorie counts, I think it's worth it.

Not a minimal cost to Starbucks. Not only did they have to get a few hundred menu boards created, but they just lost sales to fatties like you..there's a big mark up on that junk!!
All this talk of food is making me hungry. Think I'm going to go out and get a double Whopper with cheese, superisze fries and wash it down with some Pepsi. Secretly all the Food Nazis are drooling right now...i know it.
Ummm...there IS a difference between anorexic and being fit/toned. For starters, I am 5ft. tall, so for me, slightly under 100lbs isn't a big deal. If I was 5'8", then yes, I would probably be anorexic.
But I eat right, and work out, so I have 18% body fat b/c of that...not b/c I am anorexic.
Junk food should be taken out of schools b/c whatever is being sold to kids, kids will buy it. They don't know any better. If schools ONLY have healthy options to sell, the kids really have no choice then, do they?
Most of the people who put down thin people, are fat and just jealous. I used to be heavy- I did something about it.
Only inside the school. Sure, ban all the junk food at school. However, that won't stop them from bringing in junk food to school, eating junk food at home, or going to the local 7-11, or having Mommy and Daddy buy the junk food for them. And yes, I have seen parents with kids at the grocery store packing the basket with junk food. So ban all you want. Like I said, it has to start with the parents. Its called responsibility.
And also like dman said, he chose to eat a donut, even though he knew he shouldn't have. But that was his choice.
And as for dman, dude, you dared to eat a donut and didn't bring enough for the rest of us?

A few hundred menu boards was peanuts in the big picture - their alternative was to closed all shops in NYC.
They definitely did lose sales, but it's up to them to be innovative and come up with lower calorie snacks - so far they failed.
I'm certainly not as svelt as I was in my HS wrestling days, but I am not a proud owner of love handles
Now you want his Marxist administration to tell you what to do.
Anyone that agrees with this agenda won't have to worry too long. Your kids will probably drop out of school before they get to H.S. just like you did.
Less government people
