Here It Comes: Nanny State Mentality and Fast Food

Read this story.

One of the things that the Democrats like to pretend won't happen is the further interference of the government into private lives. So here's proof. In a Los Angeles district a city council man wants to ban the construction of fast food. This is the assumption that "someone" is "forcing" poor people to eat fastfood, resulting in unhealthy amounts of overweight people. But wait, if these people are incapable of staying home and making their own healthier and less expensive food, if these venues are closed, won't they starve? Why is their this assumption on the part of liberals that people don't know what is good for themselves? Why should a legitimate business be stopped from serving clientele? And furthermore, is this councilman as agitated about gangs that spread a wide variety of crime in the same areas? This is what the Democrats want for your future. If you don't believe that, go to the DNC website and read about the contortions caterers must go through to serve food in Denver. This is the future. It restricts growing businesses and keeps people from the things they want. Can a fat tax be further behind?

re: "Can a fat tax be further behind?"

Don't know about that, but in the UK people are being refused service in their "fabulous" "free" medical system because they're overweight. They are rationed to emergency services only. Why? Because they "live an unhealthy lifestyle". Same for smokers.

In one well-publicized incident, a smoker in the UK who broke his leg had it set because it was an emergency, but the leg was set improperly. When he went back to get it re-set, it was no longer an emergency situation and they refused to correct their own error. The man had to pay from his own pocket to get the leg reset, even though he pays the outrageous taxes to support the "free" health service, and a broken leg has absolutely nothing to do with health issues that might come from smoking.

Don't worry-- all of these politically correct "health" issues will all materialize nationwide if we get socialized medicine :).

I am a teacher, a mother and wife and I like to think I am a pretty good citizen. I read ALOT. I also write a good deal on various blogs. I appreciate a chance to respond to what we see in the news. I think that by posting our opinions we can probably find that everyone is more alike than we are willing to admit. Face it, people just like to argue. I would also like to say how much I appreciate having a forum for my views.
