It looks like the Liberals and Obama are starting to excercise there Marxist Ways. This is just the tip of the iceberg if Obama wins with the Liberal Democrats Controling the House. Can you feel the Freedoms slippiing away.

The same citys that are beginning to ban recess, dodge ball, and many other activities that give kids exercise are now banning fastfood joints.

Told you people before that once they start, they wont stop....cigarettes, trans fats, fast foods...make no mistake, video games will be next since they keep kids in the house.

Do not think for even a second that the control people will stop until there is control over your whole life.

They and ONLY THEY know what is best for us.

Hay Democrats why don''t you MOTHER us to death?

What a bunch of Jackasses telling us what to eat.
Next it will be what to think, read, feel, act, how to decorate our homes.

Oh! I forgot. For Democrats these basic freedoms will become a think of the past as then dictate how we live our lives. ROBOTS are we becoming.

For $5 or less, a lower wage working-class person can have a full meal and be fairly well nourished. With the prices at the grocery store, the "value" menus at the fast-food restaurants are even more enticing for budget purposes. They are nowhere near the healthiest choices! But to satisfy hunger these days, on a tight monetary and time budget in this country, the choices are minimal.

oh my god! What''s next? Telling us we can''t wear shorts because we look bad in them. They are stepping way out-of-bounds on this one. How much governmental control are people going to tolerate? This is way to in your face control. Don''t eat the food if you don''t want it, the same way don''t watch that TV show if you don''t like it.

What make these officials think they are any better at deciding what other people should eat than the people who are doing the eating. By the way they are doing SUCH a great job controlling illegal drugs TOO.

Only in California does the government tell you what you can and cannot eat.

The social engineers at work again. The "impoverished" need guidance in their eating behavior? How about some guidance in working for a living? How about some guidance in birth control? Instead, just give them more food stamps, section 8 housing, and free health care. With millions of illegals lapping up entitlements from the taxpaying citizenry in the Los Angeles area, couldn''t our City Council find something to do to terminate the sanctuary city status and get rid of the blight on this city? No. Instead they want to go after the McDonalds, El Pollo Loco, etc. We have all these outlets in my area and only the fat people eat there. You can''t stop this. The "impoverished" are impoverished due to their own doing and taking away their favorite food source isn''t going to change anything. How about deporting the illegals?
