Western Journalism: As an increasing number of restaurants opt to promote healthy beverage choices with their kids’ meals, California lawmakers are poised to take the next step.
According to KOVR, state Senate Bill 1192 recommends mandating that dining establishments offer water or milk as the default drinks with meals aimed at children.
The legislation would not override the parents’ wishes, but any other drinks would have to be specifically requested.
Democratic Assemblyman Kevin McCarty of Sacramento offered a dramatic defense of the bill, displaying a cup with nine sugar packets inside to represent the contents of a typical small soda.
“Kids’ meals shouldn’t come with a side order of diabetes, obesity or cardiovascular disease,” he said, according to The Sacramento Bee. more here
SNIP: But kids sitting in a cloud of marijuana is okay in California. Taking children to gay parades with naked men prancing and ‘cavorting’ is okay. Knowingly infecting a person with STDs and AIDS, openly using drugs and sh!tting on public streets are all okay, too. Is your 13 year old pregnant? Well, you’d never know because last week she took an abortion pill, but everything’s cool, as long she didn’t take the pill with a soda.
Evidently OJ is not welcome in California…
Solution?
Semantics of course…
Kids Meals: OUT
Abortion Survivor Meals: IN
imagine what would have happened had we gotten full blown obombacare?
Other monumental brain dead socialist ideas that are all happening at the zoo.
Item one.
The elimination of bail bonds. Yes it’s true cause they be racist. That should fit tongue and groove withe Prop 47 and 57 covered here last week.
Item two.
Increase the thresh hold of the amount of money law makers can earn/keep in their campaign funds and allow them access. This isn’t going on a ballot. They’ll vote it in themselves.
Why don’t they just add an $8 per Coke tax?
Everybody wins!
Wait…what?
Fascism: All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.
Socialism: What is not mandatory, is forbidden.
Take your pick, Kalifornia. Bullet or poison.
It’s okay when 6 year old girls drop the F bomb in the name of feminism.
Besides, it’s cool to have extra pounds
No apple juice for the kids, but please mind the feces on the sidewalk.
You can’t hold back progress. When you gotta go, you gotta go.
When I was a kid, our only choices for drinks at home were milk or water. A pitcher of kool-aid was a summer Saturday treat. We were allowed to order whatever we wanted to drink when we were at a restaurant –which meant we got 4 sodas a year.
How about a Sanctuary City for Fountain Drinks!
No respict for the beverage industry.
OT, but important. New Antifa flag. You’ve been warned.

the absolute wonderfulness of socialist ‘freedom’ …
you can have anything you want … as long as it’s mandatory
“Kids’ meals shouldn’t come with a side order of diabetes, obesity or cardiovascular disease,”
evidently, a ‘side order of salmonella, cryptosporidium, or Shigella disease’ is ok
… & yes, I no longer frequent Chipotle
None of this was a problem before they cut all athletic programs and removed the monkey bars. Out lawed dodge ball and tether ball. Fucking Libtards.
WTF?
JUST
WTF?
No more Roy Rogers?! No more Shirley Temples?!
California used to be fun. Now it’s a drag.
what is the ‘age of consent’ for soda or juice consumption in california? And will kids have to have ID now, when they go out to eat?
Will hotdog cart types of arrangements have to comply? What if a kid just wants a soda and they are alone, without parents? What is the penalty for offering a ‘kid’ a soda? I’d hate to have that on on my record.
Can kids drink their mandatory milk with a plastic straw?
I can’t believe anyone sane lives in CA anymore.
Someone needs to tell busybody do-gooder Kevin McCarty to go f*ck himself with a plastic straw.
Wait, is busybody do-gooder Kevin McCarty body-shaming fat kids?
Kevin McCarty Is California’s own little Hitler. He hates guns. Except for the ones he owns. We know this because the little cock sucker exempts himself and the rest of the law makers from the shit he writes.
Looks like an opportunity for some psa’s titled Life In California Before The Dems Took Over.
Forming young minds.
Wonder whether Coca Cola and PepsiCo have made their influence felt there yet? Maybe that’s the whole point: solicitation of back-door campaign contributions from the soft drink companies.
Waitaminit> Cali puts out as much orange juice as Florida does or maybe more.
Some parents only allow their kids to have soft drinks when they’re at a restaurant; kind of a special treat that they don’t get at home.
CACA says fuck them!
