California Is Now Restricting What Kids Are Allowed To Drink (And No…I Don’t Mean Booze)

Welcome to Communist California, where the state tells you what car to drive, how long your shower can be, and what your children are allowed to drink with their meals.

Yes, really:

CA bill proposes restricting restaurants to serving water or milk with kids’ meals to combat child obesity https://t.co/I2Ss6DbtVs pic.twitter.com/A0un99PX3I

Whaaaaat?

A proposed bill in the California Senate aims to combat childhood obesity in the state by restricting restaurants to serve children only water or unflavored milk to go along with their meals.

Senate bill 1192 says it does not prohibit a restaurant to sell, or for the customer to purchase an alternative beverage, like juice or soda, if requested by the purchaser of the children’s meal.

The bill passed the Assembly on Thursday.

Backers of the bill say it is an attempt to tackle the rising levels of obesity among kids. The bill was introduced by state Sen. Bill Monning.

So basically if a restaurant sells kids meals, they MUST include milk or water – not soda or juice.

Basically, Happy Meals just got a heck of a lot sadder.

This is so entirely pointless.

My God! What ever happened to personal responsibility? Must we regulate every aspect of people’s lives?

The Nanny State will decide how you live and what you may eat, & say by force.

This is another good example of Cal slipping into fascism under the name of PC.

“ or by imprisonment in a county jail for a term not exceeding 6 months, or by both that fine and imprisonment.”

So basically serving a soda with a STRAW gets you a life sentence, right?

So my skinny kid can’t enjoy some F’ing orange juice with her breakfast? Gtfo with that nonsense

NOPE.

Sorry, skinny kid.

I’ll decide what to feed my kid! If I want to award him every once in a while with a happy meal & soda that’s my damn business!

I would hate this. My healthy kids only ever got milk or water at home, but soda was the big treat when we got to eat out.

And then the milk will get tossed in the trash as parents order a separate small soda for the kids.
Another great idea from the People’s Republic of CA.

And if the kid is lactose intolerant or allergic to dairy his only option is water? And how do the politicians know how often they eat out? Maybe it’s just monthly, or only on special occasions, where a treat is not a problem. Government needs to stop parenting!

They are obsessed with controlling even the smallest details of our lives, right down to how much milk they would allow us to drink and what kind of straw they would allow us to use.

All the while telling us that Trump is a dictator and is taking our rights away.

*SIGH*

Yes. It really IS this pathetic.

OBESITY STARTS AT HOME.

If a child is OBESE… do the California MORONS really think cutting out soda at restaurants is gonna do it? Do they REALLY think everything at HOME is healthy… it’s all that pesky restaurant soda?

REALLY?

Spoiler Alert: it’s not the restaurant soda.
