Tries to Ban Soda Vending Machines From City Parks, Libraries http://www.librarystuff.net/2012/06/20/l-a-tries-to-ban-soda-vending-machines-from-city-parks-libraries/ http://www.librarystuff.net/2012/06/20/l-a-tries-to-ban-soda-vending-machines-from-city-parks-libraries/#comments Wed, 20 Jun 2012 17:50:38 +0000 http://www.librarystuff.net/?p=11808 “The highly politicized crackdown on America’s fat people hits Los Angeles today, with a motion from L.A. City Councilman Mitchell Englander to ban all soda vending machines on city-owned property.

Englander, a physically fit frat-bro type who is clearly trying to one-up New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his proposed ban on extra-large sodas, warns in his motion that… sugary drinks can “affect young people both mentally and physically” — even cause them “to be violent against peers and in dating relationships.”
