Phasing out the sale and advertising of sugary drinks isn't banning them from public property. Is it a nanny state that doesn't allow sales of pornography on public grounds? We ought to ban firearms from public parks as well. But at least we don't sell them in the parks...yet.

You can have my gun Trish, I'm sure you've heard it before... When you pry it from my cold dead hand.

"Your proposal is acceptable"...
....Men In Black: Movie, as the alien kills him and takes his gun. Moral of the story, never make an offer you can't back up. LOL! My favorite line in the movie.

Why the fuck would I want your gun??? You probably masturbate with it. eeeuw! Keep that sticky little toy in the closet. Especially keep out of public parks. Little kids don't need to see that thing.

Yeah, so criminals can have the comfort of knowing that they can rob people without threat of being shot and potentially killed by the law abiding citizens they target. Of course, given the difficulty in getting a permit to carry in New York, criminals already have free reign in such encounters, in parks or anywhere else.

[trish]

Yeah, every gun nut's wet dream fantasy, they're going whip out their penis compensator, show everyone in sight what a man they are and shoot those nasty hoodlums in the act of committing heinous crimes. You rock batman...not.

More Nanny . I have a little advice for the Chicago public school system....less trying to be the parents, and more trying to be
educators. Our public school kids rank 15th amoung industrial nations in reading, math and the sciences. No money for books...but money for the snack of thier choice .



Chicago school bans some lunches brought from home


To encourage healthful eating, Chicago school doesn't allow kids to bring lunches or certain snacks from home — and some parents, and many students, aren't fans of the policy

Fernando Dominguez cut the figure of a young revolutionary leader during a recent lunch period at his elementary school.
"Who thinks the lunch is not good enough?" the seventh-grader shouted to his lunch mates in Spanish and English.
Dozens of hands flew in the air and fellow students shouted along: "We should bring our own lunch! We should bring our own lunch! We should bring our own lunch!"
Fernando waved his hand over the crowd and asked a visiting reporter: "Do you see the situation?"
At his public school, Little Village Academy on Chicago's West Side, students are not allowed to pack lunches from home. Unless they have a medical excuse, they must eat the food served in the cafeteria.
Principal Elsa Carmona said her intention is to protect students from their own unhealthful food choices.
"Nutrition wise, it is better for the children to eat at the school," Carmona said. "It's about the nutrition and the excellent quality food that they are able to serve (in the lunchroom). It's milk versus a Coke. But with allergies and any medical issue, of course, we would make an exception."

Not sure, but it looks like pasta with a meat sauce. It looks like the same amount that is found in a can of spaghetti or Campbell's soups, which have always been considered a good healthy lunch portion. If any kid's mom served that at home, the kid would smile and enjoy it then go back out and play. I also see milk and chocolate milk in the photo. I wish I had had that kind of lunch in elementary school.

Damn! 15 ounces of pasta and chocolate milk. What is the bad part again? I guess we should go back to greasy burgers and fries with brownies for desert. That was sooooo much more healthier. Have you seen the fat ass kids in schools these days? They will grow up fat and die with diabetes and heart attacks. But I guess that's a better idea too.

Poor Jamie Oliver had a tough enough struggle with his campaign to improve school food in the UK. It's even worse in the US, where for some people the freedoms to give their kids early onset diabetes, obesity, heart problems and a shortened lifespan are obviously worth fighting for.....
