Schwarzenegger Signs Ban on School Junk Food
 

You know what ... from what I've seen so far, he did a better job then a lot of politicians did in the past ... lots of GREAT choices. And that's by far the best one and what EVERY place in the world should do.

I don't know everything thought so I might be wrong . But he did a couple of good controversial decisions (going agaisn't the sugar empire like that takes a lot of balls).


I posted the full article on there :

Arnold is da man fo sure!

should've been done a long time ago

Yup lets ban sugar, nicotine, alchohol, & anything else thats bad for us. And when the medical reports coming out say porn may "distort reality" etc., lets ban porn too.

now we just need to make it age controlled like cigs and alcohol

Land of the free...

agreed, this was a great thing. Unfortunately, I can't say they same for most of the things he's done (or tried to do)

wtf are you talking about?

What a smart post !

Dude we're talking about childrens eating junk food.

I honestly wasn't drinking anything else beside juice until they installed a machine at my school ...

And porn should be banned from childrens too ...

they banned junk food from elementry schools here and its a good thing too. I go and pickup my little brother from school and see all these little fat kids stuff thier faces with pies and its just a damn shame

Ok so soda machines & mcdonalds should require I.D. now?

You guys crack me the fuck up.

It's like none of you read 1984

i think it's a great idea to ban junk food at schools...

Good idea :glugglug

cool, good thinking guys....now we'll have junkfood dealers in school

i did it, i sold candy in middle school, made about $30 a day...which to a 12 year old is like $300 a day

let the underground rise up! :pimp

Dude there will be so many people in the hospital because of diabete (caused by mcd and sodas) in 50 years from now that it could fuckup the economy totally.

It just makes it less accessible to children who don't have teh right to get that kind of food from their parents ... if the parents want to feed their children soda, they will

Whatever man...anytime someone doesn't like something they want a fucking law signed. Like some piece of paper is going to do shit.

good move Arnold! :thumbsup

lol.....poor kids....munchies on brocoli :1orglaugh

It's about "liking" it ? it's about the health of fucking childs ...

There shouldn't be any commercial activity in schools in the first fucking place. No publicity for childrens.

Thank god the gobernment will look after our kids for us when we're not around... they do such a bang up job on most things afterall.

homeschool them if you're not happy

this is very good news. i can't fucking believe the amount of shit food that is served in schools. i dont think kids should be buying candy, pizza,french fries and coca cola with their lunch money... or even have that option.

I can't people beleive about your right to choose . We are talking about childrens there not adults.

Personally -- I think it's great that the State of California trusts minors enough to allow them to decide to have elective invasive surgical procedures without parental notification or consent, but not enough to allow them to decide whether or not they are going to buy a fucking soda.

Arnold S. is not only a good action superstar but he is a good politician.

they should still sell them, but not give them away for free with lunch tickets.

ya this will def make kids healthier and lower obescity

NO IT WON'T

did taking the opium dens out lower the use of opiates?

did legislating weed curb smoking?

you people are sheep

well, there would have been - but we've lost a bunch of hospital emergency rooms since arnold became governor...

Eventually those kids will get into drugs when they grow old.

I think it's pretty safe to say that you did not understand the book if you think it has any relevance in a discussion about not providing junk food in elementary schools.

no i think its pretty safe to say you don't understand the book

Holy Christ you like to oversimplify things.

Kids are stupid. If there's junk food being served, most kids will eat it every day because kids don't understand consequences. Serving junk food in schools is a terrible idea, despite the fact that you can't understand why. I would never send my kids to a school with a fucking McDonalds in it.

It's hilarious to see someone who's completely talking out of his ass insulting other people. Yeah, people are sheep because they think that kids will eat more junk food if it's served to them for lunch every day. What morons! :1orglaugh

I don't see how anyone is against this. It's not like the kids can't eat junk food anymore. I'm sure some parents wil be more than happy to send their kids to school with Big Macs etc. Or take them to wendys after school.

Don't worry people, kids can still easily become obese, no need to be alarmed!

Explain it to us then, genius. You think any sort of government regulation is pushing us towards totalitarianism?

Good call smart guy, let junk food companies decide what our children eat because you don't understand the meaning of a book.

Oh good God, children don't have 24/7 access to candy bars anymore, we all may as well put on our overalls! :1orglaugh

Let me guess, you read the book in high school right before you dropped out.

Actually i dropped out of college (network admin) right after i made my first 40k in a month.

Now then.......

Totalitarianism is a typology employed by political scientists to describe modern regimes in which the state regulates nearly every aspect of public and private behavior.

I think that definition fits in pretty well with what we "allow" our children to eat at school.

Go back to college. :2 cents:

Keeping terrible food that has created an epidemic of obese children out of schools is far from the state regulating every aspect of our lives. It's the state finally doing something about a horrible problem, which is junk food companies bribing schools to poison our children. I'm sorry you don't understand the problem, thankfully most people do. I think you're pretty much on your own describing removing candy machines from schools as Orwellian. It did give myself and I'm sure a few others a good laugh though.

Wow, great accomplishment at a very young age there.

Well, I thin k I get your point. However, I don't think that's totalitarianism per see; since these are kids/children/minors, it is somehow ok if they will be guided with the foods they take.

I disagree with this wholeheartedly. Unless you are going to supply my child's lunch in some state-funded lunch program, you can not tell me what I can and can not feed my child.

That being said, I am actually quite anal about providing a well-balanced, healthy unch for them every day. Whole grain breads, fruits and veggies, dairy, protein, little sugar. Plus, I bake a lot rather than buy cookies etc with all the preservatives and crap in commerciall produced food. I dolieve in not allowing pop and candy machines in schools, and I think school cafeterias should have healthy food options for children.

What about increasing the education about nutrition to both the children and their parents? That is far more effective, in the long term, than controlling what children take to school for lunch.
