Hospitals in New York City Looking to Ban Junk Food

What kind of audacity does Mayor Michael Bloomberg have if he thinks hospitals are the kind of place where people should be participating in healthy eating? The nerve of some people… And to think I was planning on breaking my leg in the Big Apple soon; I guess I’ll have to get injured in California then.

 

People nervously waiting around in New York City hospitals for loved ones to come out of surgery can't smoke. In a few months from now, they can't have a supersized fast-food soda. And soon, they won't even be able to get a candy bar out of the vending machine or a piece of fried chicken from the cafeteria.

In one of his latest health campaigns, Mayor Michael Bloomberg is aiming to banish sugary and fatty foods from both public and private hospitals.
