Speaking Truth to Power... about drink sizes?

[fizzyland.livejournal.com]

And here's Sarah Palin at CPAC, demonstrating the childish reactionism that we've come to expect.

Bonus facts:
1) The NYC drink ban didn't include Big Gulps
2) It was struck down by a judge anyway
3) The lovely people of facebook have christened Sarah Palin as "Bible Spice"

Soda sales are heavily invested in interstate commerce, particularly those that were covered under the NYC fountain limit. Guess it's constitutional after all!

If I buy a soda from down the street, I haven't crossed state lines. You also cannot guarantee that the soda I bought was not created or distributed over state lines. Wickard wasn't a good ruling.

Actually I can guarantee that if you are from any number of states in the US. Soda is manufactured in large hubs close to raw materials and shipped to bottling plants. If you live in Colorado or Utah or Vermont or New Hampshire you are importing every drop of soda you drink. Or if I see your ass drinking a bottle of Faygo in Mass. I know already that it was produced in Michigan. Kinda meets the definition of interstate commerce...
But hey its just you speaking out of your ass again on a topic you know nothing about no big whoop!

Sure, interstate commerce between the store and the distributor, perhaps. Certainly not between me and the store, unless I'm headed up the highway to get it.

Hurr. Inter versus intra.

Certainly between you and the store. Can you purchase gasoline at a local distributor that isn't regulated lead free?

Derp Not my fault you stick your toe into waters you know nothing about.

I should be able to, but the government has overreached its powers.

It appears I've understood the differences perfectly here.

No the fuck you shouldn't be able to spew heavy metals into the atmosphere.

Not in the slightest. You're just upset that you don't get to opt out of society. Hate to break it to you but you can. Second amendment remedies!

Well, you've gone into silly territory, so.

I wouldn't characterize your ideology as silly... more childish.
