As part of his anti-obesity campaign, Mayor Bloomberg has decided that no whole pies can be sold anymore, only by the slice.
A reporter asked won't that offend a sizable voting bloc. A representative replied that "those of Italian heritage represent a statistically significant proportion of the obese population and therefore part of the target of the campaign." No further comment was available.
The office of the Mayor of New York City issued the following decree.
"No restaurant shall allow any customer to leave said restaurant with any portion of a previously served meal."
When questioned about the customer having already purchased the meal, the spokesperson said "We are not targeting To-Go meals, only "Doggie Bags.
We want them to be part of the clean plate club, besides they will only go home and eat it later that same night.”
Mayor Bloomberg's office has reached new heights in its anti-obesity campaign. To reduce the amount of pollution and increase exercise we have decided that “No taxi shall pickup a fare unless they will travel a minimum of 20 blocks”.
They continued. “We control the medallions; therefore we can decide who gets picked up, and how far they will travel. This will force people to get out and walk”.
When asked about inclement weather, the reply was “They can take an umbrella and wear galoshes”.
This is a parody that came out in 2013 when the whole no sodas over 16 oz or whatever it was was implemented by King Bloomberg.
I think Bloomberg suffers from the condition that he thinks the common masses are just not smart enough to make good decisions on their own so the government must make it for them. Slippery slope to communism... At the sametime our new Millennials and those who are behind them have been conditioned to think it is true, that the government should protect and provide like parents do.
His commercials are wonderful and seem a true choice ... until you understand what he really would do to the structure of our government by enacting laws that are contrary to what our constitution protects us from in terms of government interference into our life and businesses.
