I found this story most amusing.

I suppose they deserve credit for trying to live up to their own standards, no matter how inane those standards are.

Good luck to the new vendor, if she ever gets up and running!

Bloomy is such an idiot...

what? Private enterprise isn’t thriving underneath the yoke of excessive regulation, restriction, taxation, and general bureaucracy? Impossible. They probably just need to be taxed a little more.

i bet the employees will mostly purchase the higher calorie and higher sodium items... a memo will go out to the employees telling them they better start opting for the healthier choices... just wait...

Okay, just went and read the whole article.

One question....whatever happened to people bringing in their own lunches? and if they don't, they have a lunch hour in which they can go and purchase their lunch, or have it delivered.....you know, like us normal people do.

We normals are now the “abnormals”!

And, btw, I am a total FREAK because I don't have a tattoo or any piercings other that my earlobes (pssst, don't tell anyone, but I don't even wear earrings, shhhhhh).

I think staying up and running will be the big problem. Who is going to eat that crap and probably pay top dollar for it? If they don't make a profit, how long will they hold the fort on a losing contract?

Nanny bloomberg and his calorie gestapo. Enjoy your diminishing food rations, comrades. You were stupid enough to vote for this guy, now you get to suffer the consequences. One more democrat trying to turn new york into zimbabwe.

I bet the restaurant is trying to finagle a deal by which they are guaranteed payment, even if nobody eats the food they serve.

If that’s the case, grind up some cardboard boxes, sprinkle the grindings with just enough petroleum mineral oil to make them a little greasy, grind up some discount multivitamins as a topping, and throw in a free glass of city water with a drop of red food coloring in it.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience".
