NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s food police have struck again!

Outlawed are food donations to homeless shelters because the city can’t assess their salt, fat and fiber content, reports CBS 2’s Marcia Kramer.

I am sorry but do you want chubby homeless people?

All kidding aside Bloomberg is frickin crazy and this is coming from someone in a state (California) that bans foie gras and a city (Los Angeles) that makes pornstars wear condoms.

This is so wrong on so many levels. Those people in NYC, who are without food and shelter, has now been put in more difficulties by not allowing food donation to homeless shelter. Are you kidding me. People need to be able eat to survive. I though the Bible stated "Help thy neighbor". How are you helping your neighbor by outlawing food donations.

Food donations have not been outlawed.

Food banks, churches, etc. are accepting donations of food (preferably non-perishable) and other items.

I just saw it, is there a time limit on showing how out of control the various levels of government have become?

No, but, giving the impression that NYC is not accepting food donations AT THIS TIME is somewhat misleading not to mention simply untrue.
