You Will Obey

Coca-Cola is out, and soy milk is now part of San Francisco's official city policy.

Under an executive order from Mayor Gavin Newsom, Coke, Pepsi and Fanta Orange are no longer allowed in vending machines on city property, although their diet counterparts are - up to a point.

Newsom's directive, issued in April but whose practical impacts are starting to be felt now, bars calorically sweetened beverages from vending machines on city property.

That includes non-diet sodas, sports drinks and artificially sweetened water. Juice must be 100 percent fruit or vegetable juice with no added sweeteners. Diet sodas can be no more than 25 percent of the items offered, the directive says.

There should be "ample choices" of water, "soy milk, rice milk and other similar dairy or non dairy milk," says the directive, which also covers fat and sugar content in vending machine snacks.

Don't worry libtards, Kool-Aid will still be available.

Executive order: awesome. First he self imposes queer marriage on the entire State, now this. What a Dick Tator.

Get ready overweight people. Your weigh-ins prior to entering the supermarket beckon on the horizon...

No more Haagen-Daz and Cheetos for you!

If cigarettes are offensive and known to factually kill people, then grossly fat, smelly bodies, and heart disease (#1 Killer of Americans), which can be directly tied to obesity, shouldn't be exempt either!

Nothing is more disgusting than Soy Milk.

Says the guy who would cheer the imposition of laws against specific uses of private property. Banning smoking is about the same as banning fattening foods. You should be cheering this, it is the same premise. Either government should be in the business of banning things bad for you, or they shouldn't. I wonder when this ban will effect the local businesses too.

When my son was younger and toothpick-skinny I used to joke that we should follow a fat person around in the supermarket and buy whatever they buy.

I don't call for banning smoking, just not allowing it in restaurants. Awesome that you don't see the difference between regulations in a public place and personal habits of consumption.

So the city buildings aren't a "public place" but a privately owned business is? You support exactly this kind of law.

Like a good little statist, SM will not see the hypocrisy of his claims.

Red Herring. A restaurant opened to the public is a public place.

Again, I don't call for banning smoking, just not allowing it in restaurants. Do you see the difference?

 

[DamnYankee]

Awesome, more misrepresentation of my positions. The obvious reason is that you can't refute them.

I don't advocate a ban on smoking, eating junk, or sodomy. Fell free to partake as much as you want.

 

[Canceled1]

Don't hate, appreciate. You don't need to live in California to realize that one of the few things you actually have control of is what you dump into your body.

Notice the use of the phrase; "dump into your body". Not "turn your body into a dump".

And this Mayor doesn't call for banning Pepsi and its ilk, just from vending machines in publicly owned buildings. Because people can't make their own choices and they must drink Soy, just like you seem incapable of choosing not to eat in a privately owned business that might allow something you don't like.

There is no real difference other than you don't like one of the things being "banned" from certain places.

Or they can get whatever beverage they would like from some vendor other than the machines in the public buildings. What's the problem here?

I don't know, I'm trying to figure out where SM draws his line. It appears it is drawn at the point where he may be inconvenienced. So long as SM isn't inconvenienced every law or order seems to be okay. Personally, they should just remove those machines from public buildings so that people can make their own choices at the vendor of their choice. If I were a business man who owned the machines I would be ticked that I had to remove the best sellers so that the Mayor can pretend people drink soy milk by choice.

You make a good point Damo, except that Joey drinking his Pepsi across the table from Suzy doesn't impact her health. *shrug*

You know where I draw the line Damo, yet you enjoy misrepresenting my position. As long as what a person does doesn't impact the freedom of others, then the government should stay out of it.

Sure it does, it tempts Suzy, it's a gateway liquid. Clearly the Mayor must remove it because nobody can resist its lure.

Nor does smoke that you chose not to inhale by not giving money to a business ever impact your health.
