Sheesh already...
So... if it's a choice between withholding food donations for the homeless or big brother monitoring salt, fat and fiber content of the food, New York City would rather the homeless didn't eat.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) Mayor Michael Bloombergs food police have struck again!
Outlawed are food donations to homeless shelters because the city cant assess their salt, fat and fiber content, reports CBS 2s Marcia Kramer.
Glenn Richter arrived at a West Side synagogue on Monday to collect surplus bagels fresh nutritious bagels to donate to the poor. However, under a new edict from Bloombergs food police he can no longer donate the food to city homeless shelters.
Its the no bagels for you edict.
I cant give you something thats a supplement to the food you already have? Sorry thats wrong, Richter said.
Richter has been collecting food from places like the Ohav Zedek synagogue and bringing it to homeless shelters for more than 20 years, but recently his donation, including a cholent or carrot stew, was turned away because the Bloomberg administration wants to monitor the salt, fat and fiber eaten by the homeless.
