Ah, the hilarity of the nanny state knows no bounds, it seems.
Especially not in New York City, where Mayor Bloomberg oversaw a
large-sized soda ban that just became law. The really hilarious part of
the law? It does not apply to aspartame-laced "diet sodas" which, by any
honest measure, are far more toxic to your health than regular sodas made with HFCS.
HFCS may cause diabetes and obesity, but aspartame causes neurological damage
and early-onset Alzheimer's. But that's just what New York needs, it
seems: A wave of crabby soda-drinking senior citizens who are half blind
and can't remember where their apartment building is located. (Or has that already happened?)
That the New York city health board actually thinks diet soda is healthier than regular soda is a sad, sad commentary on the state of nutritional ignorance in NYC. So under this nanny state plan, citizens will be pushed to consume more neurotoxic aspartame
-- gee, what a brilliant plan! Why not ban vitamins, too, and just
force everybody to take a daily chemotherapy pill and call it a "public
health initiative?"
