"Under an executive order from Mayor Gavin Newsom, Coke, Pepsi and Fanta Orange are no longer allowed in vending machines on city property, although their diet counterparts are - up to a point."

Something is wrong here.
Sugary drinks are made with natural sweeteners.
Diet drinks are made with sweeteners made in the chem lab.
Libs really want kids to drink the latter? Isn’t that against their ‘religion?’
What about Kool Aid? Snickers? Mars? Little Debbie? Marie Callender's? Pizza Hut? All these products full of sugar and fat?
Sue one, sue them all.
These companies should all counter-sue for unfair treatment.
Go through each grocery store and find thousands of products that are "unhealthy". Jelly? Cheese? Whole milk? White rice? Creamora? Lucky Charms?
It's endless.
No that it matters in this case, granulated sugar is making a comeback.
If Newsom banned these things from San Francisco entirely, there might be a cause under the Commerce Clause. It would take a lawyer to explain why or why not it would apply. He is banning them from machines on city property. I would hope that if the companies affected are unionized, that their members would raise holy hell. But then again, if San Francisco politicians continue with policies that hurt their supporters, then who am I to object?
And the Leftist call Conservatives “fascist”... Methings someone needs to look in the mirror.
Now now FlyVet, have patience. They WILL get around to banning all these things. They are patient and incremental. It took them a Century to get an American Hating Socialist elected as President. They will patiently wait to get more of their agenda accomplished.
LOL - but when the libtards look in the mirror there is no reflection. Now what does THAT tell you!
Libs are the original proponents of “Better Living Through Chemistry.” Sugar Bad. Lab chemicals good.
The vendors are going to have to pull a lot of these machines off city property, they aren’t going to make money when their high volume sellers aren’t allowed to be stocked fully.
True J Edgar, you DO have a brain and the ability to THINK with it. And the libs HATE YOU FOR IT. The Commiecare comrades have chaffed for decades to get enough power to tell you what you can eat, drink, or think. Their golden age has arrived.
Actually this could be a good thing...
I say make working conditions really bad for public workers.
Then as they quit never fill the job again.
Perhaps the only practical way to reduce the public work force while not violating some union contract...
It is that or bankruptcy proceedings...
It's all for show, and the only hope is that a majority of the publik wake up to their nonsense.
There might be a chance that some of the items will sell if they are stocked with the high volume sellers. But really, as the people become aware that the city machines have meathead drinks, then why even approach the machine in the first place. I think that in time, these machines will be filled with products that are going to spoil, no matter what their expiration dates.
Diet soda is worse than soda with sugar, although I don’t drink either one.
The Governor has put the majority of State workers on minimum wage, and some classifications are earning ZERO! For now, the State Controller is resisting, but in time he will lose the fight.
The machines cost money and the city doesn’t own them, they must cash flow or they get yanked.
Diet soda is disgusting. We buy it by the case.
Oops - correct. The city owns the property, not the machines.
I call for a Public Display of Civil Disobediance....Everyone drink Coca-Colas on the steps of City Hall....
Oh man, it would be so great if a couple of thousand people gathered at City Hall and drank Coke and sang “We Are the World.”
