It also requires servings of fruits or vegetables with each meal.<br /><br />If it survives an expected veto from Mayor Gavin Newsom, San Francisco would become the first major city in the country to pass such a law aimed at curbing childhood obesity. It would go into effect December 2011 if supervisors again approve it after Newsom's veto...."<br /><br />However, I have my doubts that the San Francisco's Board of Supervisors is known for its "angry right wingers vote against many let-me-decide-for-myself issues.":)James Goetzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412501436355228925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812431336777691886.post-10764172062875544762010-11-03T19:10:35.376-04:002010-11-03T19:10:35.376-04:00The US is an interesting, unpleasantly angry and s...The US is an interesting, unpleasantly angry and self-righteous country. It is unclear how voters vote, and it seems some angry right wingers vote against many let-me-decide-for-myself issues even so. I guess the best thing about it is it gives jobs for pundits (who are usually wrong).Ken Weisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02049713123559138421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1812431336777691886.post-76202586778023588542010-11-03T17:31:55.347-04:002010-11-03T17:31:55.347-04:00Prop 19 is defeated.
