Today New York City’s Board of Health approved a ban on the sale of large sodas and sugary drinks in many establishments. It is, as the New York Times pointed out, the first such law enacted in the country. The intent of this initiative pursued by Mayor Michael Bloomberg is to combat the epidemic of obesity in this country. But good intentions have always paved the road to hell or, more important, the path to tyranny. Bloomberg is right to say that New Yorkers ought to be watching their diets. He’s dead wrong in attempting to use the ubiquitous power of the state to impose his ideas about what they should be eating and drinking on them.

The dark forces of big government may have won the first round, with H. J. Heinz Company's capitulation to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's demands to cut the salt in its world-famous ketchup. The war, however, is just getting started.
Food giant Cargill has mounted a massive information campaign intended to educate the public on the grim realities of saltless or significantly salt-reduced food. For the campaign, which has been dubbed Salt 101, the company has enlisted the services of Food Network celebrity cook Alton Brown, who in a video describes salt as "a pretty amazing compound.”

The mandate drafted under Obamacare which forces church organizations to purchase health-care policies that provide for contraceptives and sterilization and abortifacient pills is just one small step toward Barack Obama’s hard-left goal of establishing a centrally planned society. The effect of the health-care mandates is more far-reaching than even critics first reported.
