You Can Have My Big Gulp When You Pry It From My Cold Dead Hands

Now this what this is not an unexpected move but it says it's worth it's worth talking about for a little while. The city the New York City board of health today approved Mayor Bloomberg -- curbing planned beginning sales of big sodas and other sugary drinks at restaurants theaters and -- news. As expected Bloomberg's proposal passed easily by any zip vote with one extra abstention. The mayor said via Twitter that his plan quote is this -- just single biggest step quote. Any government has taken to a tackle obesity out there. What it. The new regulation which goes into effect in March puts a sixteen ounce limit on non diet soda unsweetened teas quote. In fast food joints movie houses and Broadway theaters workplace cafeterias. And most other places selling prepared food on quarter according to Bloomberg. So you can still get you can still get diet soda used to get thirty to one ounce containers of diet so I -- And he is so get 32 ounce containers of unsweetened. -- This -- beverages sold in supermarkets and most convenient stores will not come under this new guidelines. Well you know I think the theaters are pretty angry about this movie theaters is the issue the issued a statement saying that. The the the average new -- goes to the movies four times a year okay. And of those -- of those four times a year the average new Yorker goes to the movies. They only go to the concession stand. Likes. -- -- You're going to big and the people from getting it may be getting. Large sonus. Twice a year is is that is that released that serious is that's that's significant. Does it doesn't Mayor Bloomberg have anything else to do with this time I mean he spent all this money. To get himself for a third term he supersize his term in office he was see you were supposed to be limited to 24 year terms like Rudy Giuliani wars. But he said now I got I wanna supersize my idea my idea. A ten year in the mayor's office. So we teach he had the law changed a lot of money got the City Council to change it. And then as soon as they changed it and he got his third term they changed it back so that nobody else can ever have more than two terms. So it's okay for Bloomberg to supersize himself it is political career but they don't want supersize anyone else. I don't you know you know I don't understand this way I don't I don't see what the big deal this year war why. You know the guy who voted who abstained from the vote by the way. -- said he's -- doctor doctor six though. Karo he said Bloomberg's plan doesn't do enough to fight obesity this is not comprehensive -- it's not enough it's only one aspect. Why why are they singling out just a handful of places like restaurants theaters and sports update news. Mean again what wait but she console went to weigh your convenience store or the day when every hour and and by 32 wild streak it's. I don't know why. They all these these liberals these are the same liberals you know they had to be hypocrisy here of the double standards these these are the same people. Who think that Muslims it should be a crime to offend Muslims but you know if you wanna and by Catholics or mormons than it's than its First Amendment. You know these are the same people who say that you know the government has no right to want -- to war. To tell illegal aliens they have to leave the country even though they are in the country illegally. But if you're US citizen. -- not to -- -- -- they want to be and you from getting getting a 830 to one ounce drink I mean would ever give up 32 while string now I would I would I never what I never did -- -- 321 streak armor when they started. Server is started selling them in the theaters I thought to myself what I. I mean who the hell needs a 32 ounce drink a lot of -- if you're in there I wanna see the movie I don't wanna keep having to go to -- from two or three doctor in the movie. And and I I I can remember when they hear me. -- -- we share it because -- that actually saves time effort and you know my definitely is get a big. Big drink when I'm between us now networks that offer us yeah I don't even. I'm not even that much into while soft drinks anymore but it but again I mean what -- a lot of people think that think that the diet sodas or worse for you then. Then that sugar sweetened its photos that they think some of these artificial sweeteners are rough. Are bad for your help same thing with the T -- W pre what -- if you don't have -- if you don't get sweetened -- get unsweetened -- got to put the artificial sweetener. It's just. -- -- He likes he likes to be a past he likes to be a man he likes to tell people what to do you know nobody nobody tell him what to do -- he's got. Winning billion dollars. Now -- say it again you know stay stay out of my bedroom stay out of my kitchen and stay out of my movie theater stay out of my fast food restaurant. And now and now while McDonald's is going to was going to put the calories on all their foods on India. On on the menu boards starting next week. And it did the most people are most studies have shown that that it has absolutely no effect on on people. And so a few a handful of people like -- that I quoted as saying that you know people let people tend to watch. What could look at it a little more look at their rush elections -- more carefully but but I don't think so mean if you -- in the McDonald's. You wanna have a big and -- wanna have a double quarter pounder with bacon and cheese right. But again you know it's all McDonald's in place like McDonald's Burger King always singled out. Starbucks gets a pass even though most of the most of the goodies at Starbucks. Have just as many calories as -- As the hamburgers at McDonald's but we all know beautiful people go to Starbucks. And the not so beautiful people go to McDonald's so it's okay to crack down on McDonald's but not on the -- Starbucks. 18774694322. 50 -- is a fat person I'm offend that I demand an apology from the president. 617 they want government out of their womb but they want government to pay for their birth control. -- from Chelsea Richard the third new Bloomberg was going to do this he had a hunch. 18774694322.

And why should it not possible for a person why should cool -- she now store. It it's not it's not that's he said that there would be people so what are you what if you're thirsty and he said just by true. What I don't know what is the point you're right. But he makes him feel good -- says he's telling -- he's telling the last terrorize. The lesser beings of New York City how to live. All. Well the big she's make -- you think she's making himself look like the philosopher king easily. He's the boss sees or you know you can tell people what the jury care how much to drink than.

Well the issue is how we have McDonald's -- benefit they're making these changes that they think it's good for business this new book trying to be more healthy. Then McDonald's should by all means go ahead and do what they want but it shouldn't be dictated from the -- state billionaire. Who didn't you know putting government buying this.

And then they suddenly decided. -- if we if we just roll over -- all have to have a crappy product -- -- -- we'll have a an edge over -- and people stopped by the crappy product so what does that matter they gave up and I and the government got its way and that -- -- no more fish and that and that this one of these one or Two Rivers but you know you can't get it can't -- tradition is -- you have to wash -- -- before you implement that this one. -- basically. Thanks for McCall won they changed the name the crappy meal let's lot of bad.
