"Meatless Mondays" for L.A.?

[Kirk Freeman]

It is only a resolution encouraging residents to adopt a certain lifestyle (for now) but Los Angeles City Council is recommending residents forsake meat for the sake of piety to the Lord, er, to the Planet.

Will the petty tyrants ever run out of ways to direct your life?

No meat for thee but will those in the black overalls will have plenty of protein.

They don't call it the land of fruits and nuts for nothing.

Maybe to support them Indiana should have a "Meat ONLY Mondays"

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

It's their state. I just dread the thought that they'll eventually want to force us to adopt, yet another, of their life styles.

They don't call it the land of fruits and nuts for nothing.

This is precisely why

So glad I never moved to LA years ago... it just keeps getting worse.

Then there's this lady (doctor) who figured out how to halt and reverse her MS through diet, which includes meat EVERY DAY.

Why not.....

 

[NYFelon]

Well, because there's 6 other days of the week that are perfectly good for bacon eating!

I didn't see where it mandated anything. More like a public awareness campaign.

That's just for openers. Next these liberal clowns will mandate that restaurants can't serve meat on Mondays. Then they will forbid grocery stores from selling meat on Monday. Then they will require you to purchase a permit to buy a specific amount of meat. Liberals won't enslave us in one fell swoop. They will (are) do it over time, slowly until we no longer are a free people.

Try getting a soda larger than 16oz in NY or a gun for that matter.

Try not mowing your grass.

Do you want your door kicked in???

For the record - this edict applies only to the 5 boroughs. As much as the residents of NYC would love to have you believe it, there is in fact, much more to NYS than the city itself. I can go buy a 128 oz ultra-mega-sudper-dooper-make-me-fat-and-diabetic-as-soon-as-I-finish-it-Gulp Right now if I want to. Why would I want to though?

No, I'm not saying NYC's ban is good. Just saying that I choose not to slurp down 4,692 calories in a soft drink. Fatbodies can do whatever they want. Well, except in NYC. :P

NEW YORK CITY!?!?!?!

Where do you get a 375+ oz pop? You'd have to bring along a dolly for it.

No offense meant man. It's just a peeve of mine. People assume that laws in NYC apply across the state. That would be sort of like saying Terre Haute Municipal code governed all of Indiana.

Now back to information dissemination by Printcraft Polling, LLC

Is that how much soda you'd need to get 4,692 calories? I just typed ridiculous numbers for effect.I don't know if they even still sell them anywhere, but 7-11 used to sell the "Double Gulp", and it was 128 oz. That's a freakin' gallon of soda. At 97 calories per 8 oz of coca cola, that's 1550+ calories of soda.

Yes, maybe you should re-read the introduction:

"It is only a resolution encouraging residents to adopt a certain lifestyle (for now)..."

No one said its mandated, just that these things have a way of moving from recommendations to policy to law.
