Bloomberg is against it because the state can't verify the salt and fiber content

The Chief of Police at Georgia State Uni thinks it's a drain on resources to protect people

the Fort Lauderdale city council says its to help homeless people break the cycle of poverty

Of course. The state shouldn’t regulate the salt and fiber content anyway.

Absolutely. This is an example of completely out of control government regulation that harms the poor and the spirit of giving in society. The last thing a hungry, homeless man cares about when being given free food is whether the person giving said food has a permit to do so.

Duh!

If anything governments should pass ordinances and incentives to encourage more food given to the hungry, instead of wasted.

Of course. The right may pretend that it's for health reasons, but it's really just a heartless jab at the homeless.

Exactly. It's not even consistent with conservatism.

Yes. However, the other day I had to make sure the food I was giving didn’t have peanuts in it, as the lady was allergic and didn’t have an Epi-Pen.


That being said, the “Bee Sting Kits” at stores cost under ten dollars and contain epinephrine. I really wish people would buy those instead of saying the poor can’t afford Epi-Pens.
