The US food police are at it again. Under pressure from the feds to control the diets of all Americans, states across the nation are implementing new regulations forcibly changing the way they eat.


Cities in California and Massachusetts are banning "sugary beverages" from the vending machines of municipal and public buildings. In San Francisco, Mayor Gavin Newsom imposed this through an executive order. A New York Democrat has introduced legislation to ban the use of salt in restaurant cooking throughout the state. The cities of New York, Philadelphia, Stamford, Conn. and Montgomery County Maryland as well as the state of California, have banned trans fats from their restaurants.

San Francisco is launching a "Healthy Meals Incentive", which includes a ban on the sale of any kids' meals which come with a toy if that meal includes too much fat, sugar or salt. Santa Clara County, California, already did that earlier this year.

And remember those wonderful bake sales your child's school used to have to raise money for school-related activities like pep rallies? Well those are are a thing of the past in New York City as part of a new wellness policy.

Florida is moving forward with a plan to ban chocolate milk and other sugary drinks in a move to fight childhood obesity.


I suppose its better than nothing , loads of American parents have shown that they cant be left in charge of their own families diets ...... so........
