Last I checked you're the one that's a bit overweight. But pretending that it all just comes down to self restraint is just simplifying the problem. Companies spend billions of dollars advertising and analyzing how to best separate you from that self-restraint. They aren't losing.Jay wrote:

I rarely drink soda or eat fast food. When I see a McDonald's commercial it doesn't make me want a Big Mac. DVR and adblock plus kill commercials in general.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

You're a moron. You really are. People in general are much smarter than you give them credit for. The last thing on earth we need is a Plato-style Republic where the elites manage the lives of the 'inferior classes'. Fuck that. Just because you don't believe in the life choices that others make doesn't make them stupid. You of all people should understand that since you get so pissy whenever someone picks at your life decisions here.Uzique The Lesser wrote:

and i don't have a problem with bloomberg legislating against unhealthy eating/drinking. if you have an obesity problem, why presume people are rational and intelligent enough to 'know better'? the common lay person is dumb as fuck. en masse, they are basically automatons. you have to legislate these things for the same reason you have to make it illegal to drive without a seat-belt. people are stupid. they act against their best-interest, in myriad numbers of ways, every single day.

Of the all the things to say about Bloomberg you have to call him a stereotypical Jew. You have Jew issues.
no one is saying they are trying to ban advertising. seems to me he is trying to push a drastic measure to solve a problem that isn't being solved any time soon through people exercising their intelligence and free will.Jay wrote:
They weren't banning advertising, they were selectively limiting the beverage size that adults were able to buy in places like restaurants and movie theaters.

Why is it stupid? They're living on unemployment benefits, and/or medicaid and welfare, or working minimum wage jobs that don't provide health coverage. Who pays the bill when they get sick or hurt or default on their student loans? If you want to make it about public costs, then it's just as valid as saying that people should have the size of their beverage limited.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
