Yes, a good idea (in theory) but how ridiculous is that!?!<BR/>If they can put a ban on certain types of food and/or ingredients... what does that indicate about how much control they have over us? What is next - no restuarant can serve desert or drinks that are sweet. Btw, did I mention you can't add that sugar to your coffee... it is illegal you know.<BR/>How about "banning" cigarettes (not just in restuarants)? Nah, obesity is much worse than cancer.MMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083631288466587850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-1159811102626829202006-10-02T13:45:00.000-04:002006-10-02T13:45:00.000-04:00I was a bit skeptical when I heard about this issu...I was a bit skeptical when I heard about this issue. It seems like a very thin line when certain foods that are not healthy for you become "illegal" to serve. Is heroin illegal because it's not healthy for you? <BR/><BR/>Should we make cigarettes, alcohol, ice cream, chocolate, any foods with bad cholesterol, etc. illegal? Just seems like a slippery slope. Maybe the focus should be on education as opposed to legislation.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160883537054763513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29955732.post-1159705934491013682006-10-01T08:32:00.000-04:002006-10-01T08:32:00.000-04:00Why not just ban Americans from all foreign restau...Why not just ban Americans from all foreign restaurants; in fact, from all foreign countries.<BR/><BR/>Americans are the most hazardous danger to life throughout the world.<BR/><BR/>Please stay home.

You can't buy anything without it and it just makes you want to eat more of that item it's in. <BR/><BR/>I like all kinds of foods but I prefer to make them myself than buy something in a box (read makes her own cookies instead of buying them in the store:)<BR/><BR/>I am really missing the spinach though (I used to go through two bags a week.) I bought a Subway sandwich today and asked them why they didn't have the spinach and then I remembered.
