Amendment adopted 3-2.


Proposing the following Amendment, which includes a change to the title. 24 hours to object:

Quote
Ban McDonalds Act Sanction Fast Food Act

Recognizing the health risks of refined sugar, processed meats, and added salt, the council shall implement the following policies

A 20% sales tax on salt, as well as a $250 fine for food establishments that include added salt on over 25% of their products.

A 30% sales tax on processed meats, as well as a $300 fine for food establishments that serve over 15% of their meat as processed meat. A tax on 10% of total assets for farms that use growth hormones or other chemicals, and which have a net worth of less than $100,000. A tax of 60% of the current market price per pound of meat for slaughterhouses that agree to slaughter animals raised with growth hormones.

A 20% sales tax on refined sugar, as well as a $200 fine for food establishments that include refined sugar in over 30% of their products.

The government of Lincoln shall set up a tax credit program, where if one can prove that between two consecutive years, they increased their purchase of natural sugar by at least 20% and reduced their purchase of refined sugar by 20%, they shall receive a tax credit of 5% of their regional income tax. This program shall be implemented by sending out scans of all receipts for all products purchased to the regional government, which shall then determine eligibility.

The government of Lincoln, including its council, strongly recommends that the populace not eat or work at McDonalds and will not consider such work experience to be a positive during any hiring process.



Following the adoption of this amendment, I plan to move to a final vote.

Objection, alternative amendment, because I think the current one can lead to lawsuits on grounds of discrimination

I am in favour of good meme legislation. But both Wulfric and S019 are 100% serious with this. And even as a meme, this is a dumb bill

It got changed from an outright ban to simply a statement of opposition with roadblocks in the form of taxes and fines.

This does resolve the whole "well, why are we only banning McDonalds" line, because it will have effects on other establishments as well.
