so you would be fine if a culture decided to abort all their female fetuses? A pre-genocide, a sexocide?

I would be fine if the government got their noses out of people's private decisions on how to handle their own business.

then you need to ditch the dems and join the libertarians. The. Left is banning school bake sales and thelunches kids take to school.

Like our own health care, the type of cars we drive, light bulbs we use, food we eat, schools our kids go to....glad we agree on something.

Denver Post today, the goverment wants to ban the current vending machine offerings of soda and candy in schools bcause childhood obesity is at record levels.

Guess what? Coca Cola has been available for decades at schools and childhood obesity wasn't a problem. Methinks it is something else.

Oh, you mean the various state legislatures? Is that "da government" of which you speak? Yeah, I'm really worried about that getting through a Republican-controlled House... (next........)

Bake sales? Really... Where's your "government source" on that".... Another state legislature somewhere that has no national relevance?

Lady Jazzer is correct... this is a state legislature ruling... in this case... actually a city ruling... New York City to be exact...

A Crackdown on Bake Sales in City Schools

There shall be no cupcakes. No chocolate cake and no carrot cake. According to New York City’s latest regulations, not even zucchini bread makes the cut.

I doubt the federal government would ever get involved in this sort of legislation. Oops.... I spoke too soon...

Child nutrition bill seeks to combat obesity by limiting bake sales


A provision in the child nutrition bill on its way to President Obama’s desk gives the federal government the power to ban bake sales held during school hours, the AP reports. The legislation, part of first lady Michelle Obama's campaign to combat childhood obesity, provides more meals at school for needy kids, including dinner, and directs the Agriculture Department to write guidelines to make meals healthier. The legislation would apply to all food sold in school during regular class hours.

ACSH’s Dr. Elizabeth Whelan believes the bill’s bake sale policy is an unnecessary government intrusion that will do nothing to curb childhood obesity. “I can’t believe anyone would support a bill that keeps parents from enabling their children to have cake or brownies for classroom birthday parties. It’s outrageous and unnecessary.”

ACSH's Dr. Gilbert Ross, however, points out that the restrictions only apply to fundraisers and other events involving baked goods sold during school hours on school premises — it would still permit students to organize bake sales after-school or outside the school. “Like any large, complex bill tackling a complicated issue, such as this one’s attempt to fight obesity, there are some good parts to the bill and bad parts,” Dr. Ross says. “Providing dinners to children who do not have the resources to obtain nutritious meals at home is a great idea. Banning bake sales, with the objective of fighting obesity, is not a good idea, it seems to me. The kids will still have their bake sales, but after school. Therefore, this will be in addition to lunchtime dessert, not instead of it — another wrong-headed way to fight obesity.”

Well... I doubt it will ever become law... rofllol

Looks like I put that to rest.

Back on topic, the British goverment is looking into evidence of increased sex based abortions among immigrant populations. Would you still support abortion if it mainly was used as a form of female infanticide?

You do know that Coca Cola and most all other sodas have changed their ingredients from what they were for decades, right?
