Berkeley becomes 1st city to ban junk food at grocery store checkouts

Residents in Berkeley, California are going to see a big change when they go grocery shopping next year.

Beginning in March 2021, candy, chips, soda and other junk food items will not be available for purchase at store checkouts. The Berkeley City Council passed an ordinance on Sept. 22 that will ban these products from the aisles right by store registers.

Not all Berkeley residents agreed with the new policy. NBC's Bay Area affiliate KNTV reported that at least some people thought the city should focus on more pressing concerns than what people put in their mouths.

“I’m a diabetic Type 2,” A.J. Curtis told KNTV. But he says other issues, like Berkeley’s homeless crisis, are more important than what people are buying. “I feel like they should be focusing more on that than on the food we eat,” he said.

This feels discriminatory. Most homeless people love candy and chips. Hopefully the stores will replace the sodas with beer and malt liquor to make up for this.

We were out the other night (night to me is 5 PM) having some wings and stuff in a bar, they were playing that horrible country-western shit, and a few people were up (like line dancing or whatever they do), with masks on keeping 6-feet apart. The couple near us were looking, sort of chuckling to themselves as wife and I were, and I just said "white people" and rolled my eyes.  ::)
The dude and his wife cracked up. Its OK to poke fun at yourself people. So many goofy-ass white people around here its almost comical.

It's easy, don't go to a bar on country night. And you are also making fun of the Trump voting base. Never understood going to a "bar" to eat food. Enjoy those Tyson microwaved wings, brah.

You should refrain from giving advice on food, diet, social behavior, heterosexuality, athleticism, bodybuilding, sobriety....

Hell...you should just refrain from giving advice.

I have spoken to several people who advocate banning "sugar". Sugar is bad, of course you should ban it, can't control myself so the solution is to make it criminal  ::)

Don't worry Loco you can still use your food stamps to buy chips and soda and whatever other crap you like

If you're in Berkeley you'll just need to pick it up before you get in line

That shouldn't be too difficult even for a dipshit like you

Like smoking, the issue to me is not whether or not something is good or bad for you but rather who should decide.

Democrats want to control every move you make and every shit you take.  If there was a way to enforce it they would be limiting the amount of toilet paper you use to wipe your ass.

Stop voting for these people.

I really wouldn't be surprise if junk food consumption goes up. Say, I like Snickers bars. So every weekend when I go to the grocery store I pick up one. Now that I can't buy it at the store I have to order online and no way I'm going to order one or two from Amazon. I'm going to order about 30 bars, and if you are like me, a lot of times I eat things that I normally wouldn't simply because it's there. I love ice cream so I try to limit it to just on weekends and buy it just on weekends. Sometimes if there is a good sale I'll buy it midweek and put it in the freezer until the weekend. But inevitably, looking at that tub of ice cream I end up "just taking a spoonful" to "carry me over" to the weekend, but I always wind up eating the whole damn quart. Then that means I have to go back to the store and get another quart for my weekend "cheat" day.

Remember when alcohol was banned? Not just banned but illegal. And not just illegal but added to the Constitution.

The more things change the more they stay the same.
