The U.N. health agency says world leaders will discuss efforts to clamp down on junk food marketing to children when they meet in New York on Sept 19-20.

The World Health Organization says heads of state will use the U.N. General Assembly meeting to talk about limiting the number and type of ads that children are exposed to.

Bjorn-Inge Larsen of the Norwegian Directorate of Health told reporters Friday that he expects voluntary measures limiting junk food advertising to eventually evolve into laws banning the practice in the same way that has occurred with tobacco.

Good. Now, what would it take to ban the UN?

[Army Air Corps]

Our payments to the UN would be on my budget-cutting list before considering any cuts to the armed forces.

When I was a kid, America was a sovereign nation. This U.N. would have been thrown out on their commie lovin’ asses.

“We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen.”

Who died and appointed the U.N. dictator of the world?

I think we spend more on the UN then we do at NASA..

Liberty is an anathema to them.

That quote infuriates me so much that my head feels like it is going to pop right off.

Year 1: We're not banning junk food. That's re-dick-a-lus! We're simply asking you to eat it in that little room down the hall.

Year 2: For the safety and health of our employees we must insist you eat your junk food outside the building.

Year 3: Any employee found eating junk food within 50 feet of the building will be summarily terminated. Yes, that means your cars too!

Year 4: As a condition of employment you must submit to a weekly junk food screening either by urinalysis, blood test or whatever method The Secretary shall deem appropriate. It's for the frick'n children afterall!

Any question?

[Army Air Corps]

That would not surprise me. After all, swanky dinner parties in five-star hotels ain't cheap.

Tobacco was a test case.

The U.N. needs to be run out of OUR COUNTRY like their A$$es were on fire and their heads were catchin’...

[9YearLurker]

They’re constantly marketing the UN to children!

[KevinDavis]

Plus first class air fare, staying at those hotels, and I’m sure there are a few extras..

[Eric Blair 2084]

This is why US citizens pay 41% of the UN budget...to save us from burgers, hot dogs and apple pie.
