Mayor Rahm Emmanuel joins Mayor Bloomberg in Nanny State Rules

November 15, 2012 By 2 Comments

Mayor Rahm Emmanuel is cracking down on vending machines. He is joining Mayor Bloomberg of NY who is also increasing the size of the nanny state.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Wednesday he’s cracking down on the caloric content of vending machines in city buildings and plans to replace them all with healthy vending by next year.

A proposed ordinance, to be introduced this week, will lay out plans for the new machines and detail guidelines on fat, sugar and calorie content starting in January 2013.

In addition to what Rahm is doing, the Chicago Public School voted to ban gatorade, energy drinks and whole milk.

Chicago Public Schools officials on Wednesday unanimously approved a healthier snack and beverage policy that bans the sale of items like Gatorade, energy drinks and whole milk at schools.
The new policy also discourages selling candy or cake for school fundraisers as well as the distribution of candy in classrooms during holiday parties or as rewards. CPS said it’s part of an expanded health initiative that would help align the district with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Healthier US Schools Challenge and First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move initiative.

    Shows government is out of control and over stepping their bounds and destroying society at an accelerating rate. Instead of addressing the bloated Public Sector operations that are bankrupting America and destroying the economy. These incompetent Communists are working to enslave more citizens. The Public Education System functions as the tool to create dependent slaves through political indoctrination and removal of strong analytic skills. The family is destroyed as all decisions are of raising their children are removed. This is the basic Commune principle of Communism. Having escaped from Communism it is amazing that Americans have lost their freedoms and liberty to Communism without a single fight. But just like lobsters in a pot of water on the stove the gradual increase in temperature goes unnoticed until it is too late. In fact the recent national elections showed that the majority of Americans now want Communism and are willing to abdicate their freedoms and rights to be servants of the party.
