[jon_berzerk]

Commie California.....either the people will revolt or they might as well just have the government plan their entire life........freedom is just too hard.



I mean how do the people of California not get pissed by this stuff.......unreal.

California, once again, leading the nation on the nanny state stupidity. Only the all knowing, omnipotent government is qualified to decide what your child is allowed to drink when you dine out at the private establishment of your choice. Parents are obviously too stupid to make these decisions.

Milk Or Water: California Bill Aims To Curb Kids' Soda Drinking At Restaurants

I don’t care what they do in California. In fact, it is the right of the people of California to decide if they support a government which controls soda consumption. They either do or they don’t. Now, if the Federal Government try’s to tell the people of California, or any other state for that matter, how much soda they can drink, that is a problem.

30 odd years ago my girlfriend was refused a glass of wine in a Fort Lauderdale hotel because she was 19. I thought it was hilarious but she didnt.
Americas nanny state is nothing new.

The problem in our country is that insurance companies have too much power. That's why we have laws like 21 year drinking age. That's why we have a forced .08 breathalyzer maximum. That's why we are forced to wear seatbelt beyond our desire. That's why many employers drug test their employees and new hires.

Its not unreasonable for the person who picks up the tab to insist on some rules. In your country its the isurance industry in our country its the taxpayer.
Should you expect the taxpayer to fund your wheelchair lifestyle for the sake of wearing a seabelt ?

Yes, our alcohol laws here are retarded as well.

In many ways, the United States is ahead of the world. In many ways, we are behind.

It was my fault, I should have checked before we booked. It did seem bizarre that she could travel with and sleep with me but couldnt drink with me. Our Florida hell only lasted a week before we moved on to Jamaica.

I think a law like the one you are referring to puts too much onus on the restaurant but a way is needed to save these kids.

you cant make people do the right thing. It's an issue of freedom, if people want to drink a coke, nothing you can do. Alcohol causes people to change when under it's influence significantly....so it's heavily regulated, soda at worst makes you hyper......so it's not and it shouldn't be..

As for obesity, it's up to the parents and their kids to do that. One way we used to control it was through social pressure (ie name calling) but some people think it's mean, so now there's not much we can do.

The parents are failing in there job though.
Sugar tax would 'cut childhood obesity'
The Uk has just brought in a soft drink tax on high sugar drinks making them 25% more expensive than low sugar. You still have a choice but it will cost you. The theory is that the tax raised will fund the care needed for diabetics and the obese.

I dont see that as unfair, its the same principle as a tax on fags and booze.

They may be, but that's THEIR job......not the governments. The problem with lefties is they want to make a perfect society, it doesn't exist. Watch Demolition Man. I'm with the underground faction, we need freedom. Freedom to succeed and fail......I don't want NAZI like efficiency...….I'd much rather have American freedom and inefficiency.

What?
It's called personal responsibility.
And then don't allow people like that on the govt dole, that will make it much better than forcing them to wear it.

The funny thing is when the left wingers tell us that they don't care what we do in the bedroom. Any group this uptight about sugary drinks, butter on theater popcorn, what kind of toilet you have, and sex on college campuses, is not going to leave anyone alone at any level...

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Pretty son they will require condom usage....at a minimum

In a free country, that's the individuals decision. In most all states it's a requirement by law for one to have auto insurance. Now if an insurance company has their own set of rules for their customers, that's one thing. But paying off politicians to make rules on their behalf is quite another.

But your view is why many here resist government healthcare. Once government is the only place to go, they will make idiotic rules like the ones involving insurance companies only much, much more. They will require what you should eat, how much you should weigh, how much body fat you're allowed to have, how much alcohol intake you're allowed to have per week. The list goes on and on.

We don't want that here.

The reality is that if we look around, Americans aren't generally healthy consumers.

You're a big boy, judging by your avy. You obviously eat right and spend time in the gym. And you likely avoid sugar. I do, too.,As does my better half. But we're in the minority. America has a sugar/junk food/processed food habit. And they tend to pass the habit on to their kids. I think we have more diabetics than any nation in the world, if I'm not mistaken. It's pretty much a revolving circle between the food companies and the pharmaceutical companies. One supports the other in an endless circle of consumption.

Now, I'm about as anti government-over-man as one might possibly be. I'm a big fan of as little government as possibe. So, of course, I disagree with that kind of legislation.

But you know as well as I do that people are regularly stuffing their kids full of the worst food and drink on the market. Heck, I wouldn't doubt people doing it just to stick it to the government.

Don't give parents too much credit for being competent. Sorry, it's the truth. Though, it's understood that the truth isn't always the most diplomatic approach.

But, that's on them. I don't care what they do. Not my problem. It's just an observation. And your comment about parents being too stupid to make the right decisions reminded of the state of health and obesity in America. It's a verifiable, observable, fact.

Meanwhile California condones smoking pot. Soda bad, mind altering lung burning pot smoking good.

California is a great example of liberal totalitarian rule, OBEY or be punished.

Do liberals sexually get off on constantly banning ordinary things? Why am I asking, of course they do!

It gives them a feeling of control.

They are the biggest control-freaks I've ever seen in this country. Their own censorship epidemic proves that. These filthy liberal cocksuckers only want to vengefully hurt fellow Americans for rejecting their ideas, which is why they come across as such butthurt, stalker ex-lovers.

You are not a true liberal unless you are making somebody else's life just as miserable as yours.

If a liberal sees a family at McDonald's with the kids enjoying their Happy Meals, the liberal petitions his legislatures to stop McDonald's from serving Happy Meals and make the children sad.

If a liberal sees a man in the park smoking a cigarette minding his own business, a liberal will petition his legislatures to stop people from smoking in the park, and make their lives less happy.

If a liberal sees somebody worth a lot of money, the liberal will petition his legislatures to take away much of his money thus taking his happiness away from him.

If a liberal knows of a person happy and secure because he has a firearm, the liberal will petition his legislatures to take away that mans gun thus making him less happy.

Liberals are nothing more than control freaks. These libs in CA give us plenty of reason to make sure people like this are never in charge of the nation.

Liberalism is an exercise in jealousy over anybody enjoying themselves. I've said over and over again here that liberals are miserable people who want to make everyone else as miserable as they are. When you plug that factor into the equation, everything they do makes sense (in a very bad way).

It doesn't?

Obese patients and smokers banned from routine surgery in 'most severe ever' rationing in the NHS

And don't tell me there have not been cuts to services as the price of healthcare gets more expensive. In Japan, the government comes out to your home or work to measure your waistline. If you fail that, they only give you so much time to lose that weight. Fail again, and they ship you off to a fat farm somewhere.
