Now, thislaw will supposedly combat obesityby attracting a better breed of restaurants with healthier food choices.<\/p>\n<p>The assumptions here are breathtaking,including the notion that all-knowing government bureaucrats can make people eat approved food. I mean, people&#8211; including the poor&#8211; choose what they want from menus (what they can afford),and there\u2019s no reason to expect that\u2019s going tochange. And what happens when the &#8220;wholesome&#8221; restaurants that the city council wants to move into these neighborhoodsdon\u2019t show up? Will the council mandate that they appear&#8211; and then dictate how much they can charge for their more expensive menus? Will council members decree no frenchfries or burgers&#8230;ever?<\/p>\n<p>The same day as the fast food ban, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors enacted their own injunction, this one prohibiting pharmacies from selling tobacco products. It goes into effect in the fall.<\/p>\n<p>Now, California is awash in budget problems, and Democrats are talking about raising taxes on businesses<emphasize>again<\/emphasize>. The things that these dunderheads are tasked to do&#8211; like manage their own budget, provide quality education, and fix the roads&#8211; they can\u2019t do. Yet these meddling liberal <emphasize>tyrants<\/emphasize> want to control the inventory of businesses; they want toban businesses they don\u2019t like &#8212; just to satisfy their arrogant self-delusions!<\/p>\n<p>You know, sooner or later (I hope), even you liberal votersare going to have your fill of thesepeople&#8230; maybe not, though.<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rush\u2019s Morning Update: Delusions!July 31, 2008Watch It!
