Nanny State Ninnies

Sugar is about to become a taboo substance. No not cocaine, but refined white sugar will be the new contraband. Of course, certain places have already imposed such intrusive, busy body measures, notably New York City under faux Republican, turned independent Mike Bloomberg. The mayor was not successful in targeting sugar but has made smoking an almost forbidden and costly act. He has forced many restaurants to post nutritional content of their food, and he has even forbidden the use of certain kinds of cooking oil in restaurant cuisine. Bloomberg really believes he is that much smarter and needs to make your decisions for you. Obama is less interested in your health or the welfare of your family. He is certainly an adherent of the elites know best philosophy, but the coming sugar tax has virtually no bearing on America's health. Make no mistake this is nothing more than a government revenue grab. This is one more way like the proposed cap and trade regulation for Obama to keep his hand in your pocket.
