Ah yes, because it’s not immediately life threatning, it shouldn’t be of concern. Thank god there’s no correlation between sugar intake and obesity, between obesity and mortality, and that child obesity (nevermind adult) hasn’t been skyrocketing for the last three decades.
 
I guess you’re also against banning the sale of tobacco to minors? I mean, smoking isn’t immediately life threatening, and the school can’t stop them from smoking at home, so why shouldn’t they have cigarette vending machines in the cafeteria?

 
I need ask, if this was your kid; would be okay with this?

@The Smiling Pony  
Because you are trying to compare something that is not life threatening to something which is. Not you, nor the government, should dictate what food I give my kids period. Because when that happens what’s to stop the government from dictating what I should or shouldn’t eat. Alcohol and cigarettes are already regulated because of health concerns and problems. But food, which people have a modicum of choice to choose what they want, should not be dictated by the government period. No and, ifs, or buts.

I’d hunt down that son of a bitch. Don’t care I he’s a cop

God, wouldn’t it be awkward if just a few decades ago smoking was actively promoted as being healthy? As for your gem about “food is exempt”, that makes no sense; practically everything organic can be “food”. Alcoholic drinks are literally food, they have a caloric content and usually includes some sugars and minerals, how is it not food? Hell, puffer fish is also a food, you think schools should be serving that?
 
How is this so contentious? Excessive sugar is known beyond a doubt to be unhealthy; how is it controversial that schools the place you trust your kids will be safe, get educations, stay healthy, would try to limit sugar intake?
 
You’re right, idiot and neglectful parents that don’t care about their kids’ well being can keep on ruining them out of school grounds, but while the kids are the responsibility of the school, we should hope that they act responsibly.

@SombrLiz  
Absolutely not. That cop needs to be fired and never work as a cop again.

@The Smiling Pony  
You know.  
If they’re going to take shit off the menu. At least have replacement and alternatives that are more tasty and appealing than what they plan on leaving on the list. The “healthy” foods they described there sound bland and dystopian-esque. These are schools. Not hospitals, and not prisons. Kids deserve better.

@Lord Goku  
I’m still wondering why our police forces keep hiring these thugs?

@Kongou  
What is that going to do other than being troublesome to young adults?  
I didn’t grow to be 18 just to be told I cannot drink, smoke etc.  
Quit treating adults like kids!

@lonewolf  

 
Pathetic.
 
Instead of addressing the issue at its heart. They decide to procrastinate and dig themselves into deeper shit.  
It’s not the weapons they use, dolts!  
Think. What drives criminals to do what they do? And where does that drive come from?

@lonewolf
 
Good job England. You gave the knife-wielding maniacs a cornucopia of free knives to be knife-wielding maniacs with! And how are the law-abiding citizens supposed to cut their food without knives since only maniacs have knives now!

US Navy to name new sub USS Arizona.
 
Not sure how I feel about this. That’s one ship name I don’t think should be reused.

Chinese Guy took Florida up his arse!

@lonewolf  
I can understand the idea of honoring the original by carrying on the name, but naming a submarine after a famously sunken ship seems kind of awkward. (I get that it’s just a coincidence of the Navy’s naming convention now, but still.)

@Flying Pancake  
I didn’t even think of that aspect of it. That really makes it awkward.
 
Meanwhile: She didn’t know what the gesture meant. XD

So the car has people in it but none of them tried to stop it? What, do handbrakes no longer exist?
