Beverage attorney: NYC drinks limit bad for public


Posted: Jan 23, 2013

Here's the interesting new twist: "Opponents also are raising questions of racial fairness alongside other complaints as the novel restriction faces a court test." http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_SUGARY_DRINKS_LAWSUIT?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2013-01-23-06-18-52;

Nope. NAACP. See 6th paragraph - in link that OP provided:

"The NAACP's New York state branch and the Hispanic Federation have joined beverage makers and sellers in trying to stop the rule from taking effect March 12. Critics are attacking what they call an inconsistent and undemocratic regulation, while city officials and health experts defend it as a pioneering and proper move to fight obesity."

Yup. I read this morning that this is a racist issue. - What idiots.

But I also can't bring myself to care. If people want diabetes, they can order an extra soda.

I'm supposed to get a permit to wear heels over 2". There's another dumb law.

Expired Children Drinks Jul 01, 2013
This weekend at a fireworks celebration in our town someone donated drinks to the children. You know those little flavored plastic bottles, maybe 6 inches tall. Some had a plastic cap that you pullled and it unraveled and came off, some had tin foil.  One child was heard to say "Hey there must have been some paper in my drink".  He evidently swallowed something.  Another person looked at the container and it had clearly printed an expiration date of 2009 on it and when inspected s ...

Obama Agency Rules Pepsi's Use Of Aborted Fetal Cells In Soft Drinks - Business As UsualMay 08, 2012
I heard about the story of smuggled capsules of human flesh made in you know where.  As if finding out they eat eggs cooked in urine of small boys was not enough to make me gag.  So, then found that Pepsi uses fetal cells as a flavor enhancer (at least that's my understanding of the article - could be wrong of course).  Then I read that Obama's administration said it's okay to use aborted fetus in Pepsi.  Again, maybe I read that wrong.  Either way, never ...

Is There A Limit To Democratic Corruption?Oct 31, 2016
I think just how corrupt the democratic party is will soon be unveiled.  I honestly believe that it will go far further than anyone truly anticipates.  I believe there is an old adage, and my middle aged memory cannot recall it at present...point is, those who scream the loudest generally do so to hide their own guilt.  With the crap heaped upon Mr. Trump and his supporters on the part of the left, I'd say there is definite merit in this statement.  It is going to be ref ...

Raising The Debt Limit. A Little Bit Of HistoryApr 14, 2011
After World War II ended, the debt limit was reduced to $275 billion. Because the Korean War was mostly financed by higher taxes rather than by increased debt, the limit remained at $275 billion until 1954. After 1954, the debt limit was reduced twice and increased seven times, until March 1962 when it again reached $300 billion, its level at the end of World War II. Since March 1962, Congress has enacted 74 separate measures that have altered the limit on federal debt. Time Line from 1958-2011 ...

Public Option Hot Again?Oct 12, 2009
The group, America's Health Insurance Plans, released a report claiming that the new health care reform bill will drive up insurance premiums because not everyone will be forced into the system. Without a very large pool that includes healthy people, the insurance companies insist, they will have to pay out too much. (I'm crying crocodile tears here.) This might bring the public option back strongly if the dems finally say, "Enough of this crap!" We can only hope. NJ ...
