And that's the whole thing about this. It's the slippery slope argument.
1. Parents receive notes from school telling them that they are not packing their kid a healthy lunch, the kid has to eat the chicken nuggets from the school lunch counter because his/her lunch has been seized, and then the parents get a bill for the chicken nuggets.
2. You can't buy a soft drink bigger than 16 ounces (?) in NYC because bigger soft drinks are banned.
3. Salt is being eliminated at BM and maybe (?) shakers will be taken off the tables
Where does it stop? When does it stop? Who decided what was good for us, what we could buy, what we could eat, what our kids could eat? Really, who?
And where does it stop? When is enough enough? How many things are people going to say "OK....sure....no problem" before they say ENOUGH?
It's not about salt or drinks. It's not even just about food and obesity and health insurance and politics. We sit here and meekly just say OK whenever we get mauled by TSA before getting on a plane, whenever we allow our kids to be raised by teachers who's agendas we don't agree with, whenever crops die and people lose their homes just so we can save some tiny silver fish, whenever we don't hold our elected officials accountable for their lies and misappropriation of our money, whenever whenever whenever..........
Of course people could just bring their own cups and their own salt shakers. But for God's sake, this is America. It's becoming Home of the Big Brother and Land of the Food Police.
