Michael Bloomberg In Drag

Mayor Michael Bloomberg is a Republican in name only.  Otherwise, he is one of the more despicable people in the United States as he tries to be the super Nanny of the New York City and maybe even the United States.
From Yahoo News: Coca-Cola Co and McDonald's Corp fired back at New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg on Thursday for proposing a ban of large-sized soft drinks at restaurants and other food service outlets.
"New Yorkers expect and deserve better than this. They can make their own choices about the beverages they purchase," Coca-Cola said in a statement.
The world's largest soft-drink maker, which would also be disproportionately affected by such a ban, said it already includes calorie counts on the front of its bottles and cans in New York and that restaurants already post the calorie content of all their offerings and portion sizes, including soft drinks.
The statement from Coke comes a day after Mayor Bloomberg said he was proposing an amendment to the city's health code to prohibit food service outlets from selling sugary soft drinks larger than 16 ounces.
The ban would apply to restaurants, mobile food carts, delicatessens and concessions at movie theaters, stadiums or arenas, where sales of fountain drinks are common. It would not apply to convenience stores, grocery stores or drug stores, which mostly sell beverages in bottles and cans.
Targeting cup sizes is the latest move in an ongoing effort to reduce Americans' calories from sugary drinks. That is part of a broader push to fight obesity, which is a huge and growing burden to the nation's healthcare system.
"Public health issues cannot be effectively addressed through a narrowly focused and misguided ban," said a spokeswoman for McDonald's USA. "This is a complex topic, and one that requires a more collaborative and comprehensive approach.

Bloomberg is an idiot and a disgrace, but I can only think that President Obama is calling him up and asking how Bloomberg is getting away with destroying people's rights.
Simply put, if I want to drink a 100 ounce Slurpee drink made with pure sugar cubes, I should be able to do so, if someone wants to make it.
And if I don't want to visit New York City because of this food Nazi named Michael Bloomberg, I certainly will not.
