It's pretty well documented MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski likes to brag about her workout routine and showcase its effects on her physique. And perhaps for that reason, Brzezinski believes that entitles her to pass judgment on what consumers should put into their bodies.
On MSNBC's July 6 "Morning Joe," Brzezinski boasted about San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's vending machine soda ban that took effect today. But Brzezinski wanted to take it a step further - not to just ban them in city vending machines, but just stop people from drinking soda altogether.
"And in San Francisco, a ban on sugary drinks in city vending machines is starting to take effect," Brzezinski said. "That's so great. It was issued by Mayor Gavin Newsom, my new hero, Mike Barnicle -- in an effort to combat obesity and improve citizen's health, and it will. In fact, if people would just not drink soda pop, they would be healthier and less fat."

Now THAT was funny!!!!
Many East Asian folks are genetically predisposed in the presence of alcohol to turn red and upchuck ~ which is why they prefer Pepsi!
(NOTE: Coke will neither affirm nor deny the claim, but the Chicoms tend to prefer Pepsi).
The last place in the world I would go to for advice about what I should put into my body would be the mayor of ‘gay city, USA’.
You never get to see this on the radio so it’s just as good that Mika and Joe were removed from 770 AM
God gives us freewill and the Government takes it away. Hmmm = what’s wrong with this picture?

I wish more conservatives felt that those of us who wish to “harm” our bodies with pot could do so.
What an idiot Mika is. Yea, its bad for you, but its my choice
NOT GUILTY!
Older lady? She was barely born in the 60's.
Pepsi caters to mooseslimes and the queer agenda. Just one more reason Pepsi is banned in my house. ( BTW...I don't drink either.)
There are plenty of sugar laden drinks at Starbucks.
An over indulgence in iced green tea lattes sweetened
with melon syrup put 18 lbs on me and pushed up
my A1C. Shifting to black coffee pared off that
weight. No other dietary adjustment.
Are they going to ban all soft drinks in that town? What a bunch of goobers.
High fructose corn syrup can cause a variety of
liver damage similar to cirrhosis induced by
excess alcohol. The damage is irreversible and
can result in death.
LOL — yep, there is certain leeway that should be given to .... just freakin’ HOT!
ahem.....
Not every one can drink diet soda the fake sweetener is not compatible with their bodies. So is she wanting to ban them too?

Truly, I'd rather live under a tyrant's rule, than a "concerned progressive's".
The "Concerned Progressive" will never grow tired of their crusade, will never stop, and will always have a clear conscience.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would 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.
