Super Nanny Hits Boston

From Fox News:

Boston Mayor Thomas Menino has banned soda, sports drinks and sweetened ice teas from city property, according to a recent government press release. In an attempt to reduce the city’s rising obesity rates, Menino has banned all sugary drinks from city vending machines, cafeterias and concession stands, just one day after reaching an agreement with the Boston Red Sox that allows the team to sell mixed drinks at its ballpark. “I want to create a civic environment that makes the healthier choice the easier choice in people’s lives, whether it’s schools, work sites, or other places in the community," said Menino in the press release issued last week about the soda ban.

According to the release, city buildings and departments have a six-month grace period before they’ll be required to phase out the sale of beverages loaded with sugar, such as non-diet sodas, pre-sweetened ice teas, refrigerated coffee drinks, energy drinks, juice drinks with added sugar and sports drinks. The order allows for the sale of beverages such as diet sodas, diet iced teas, 100 percent juices, low-calorie sports drinks, low-sugar sweetened beverages, sweetened soy milk and flavored, sweetened milk. Beverages such as bottled water, flavored and unflavored seltzer water, low-fat milk, and unsweetened soy milk can continue to be sold.

This mayor is a complete and total moron. Picture a fire department crew after working a big fire and coming back to the fire station drinking soy instead of Gatorade.

How about the police officer who is working a double shift while investigating a murder and has a selection of fruit juice instead a caffinated soda like Coke or Mountain Dew.

How about the poor employees who have to listen to this stupid ass mayor in his meetings, needing coffee or soda to stay awake after listening to this fool?

This idiot liberal mayor apparently doesn't believe in free choice or anything else.

Of course, what will happen is no one is going to buy his stupid drinks and just bring the drinks from home. So, the City and whoever relies on the money from vending machines will be totally screwed as no one will buy these stupid products from the vending machines. The employees will still be drinking these "unhealthy" drinks and nothing will have changed except for the lost revenue from the vending machines.

Mayor Menino of Boston, you are a complete and total fool and moron. I am glad you are a liberal and Democrat.
