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."

Because San Francisco is a walled city, of course, and no one in it can manage to get out to the rest of the Bay Area to get a sodee pop. [/s] I mean, seriously Mika, the ONLY way one can access a sugared soda is by purchasing from the way-over-priced vending machines??!! Fer cryin' out loud ... the only reason this dingaling is breathing is that it is automatic, if she had to consciously request her body to inhale and exhale, it's lights out.

Shouldn’t that have been the ‘gay’ mayor of the ‘gay city, USA’?
