Just on sweet pop drinks: "In a move he says is necessary to trim the city’s waistline, the decidedly slim mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom, has proposed charging big stores a fee when they sell sugar-sweet soda. The proposal, which was reported by The San Francisco Chronicle on Monday, would put an as yet-to-be-defined surcharge on all drinks with high-fructose corn syrup, which puts the sweet pop in most nondiet sodas and many other food products. The syrup also puts on the pounds, something city officials say strains the health care system."
When will they come after the Twinkies?
This is the kind of stuff, some Republicans fear, that Mike Huckabee favors; and these kind of proposals are an infringement upon peoples' freedom and are illogical to boot. Beware of the health nazis.
