(CNSNews.com) - During a United Nations General Assembly summit on non-communicable diseases -- a discussion that included diet and eating habits -- New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said governments at all levels must make healthy solutions the default social option.
Speaking on the government's role in diet and health last week, Bloomberg told the UN General Assembly, There are powers only governments can exercise, policies only governments can mandate and enforce and results only governments can achieve. To halt the worldwide epidemic of non-communicable diseases, governments at all levels must make healthy solutions the default social option. That is ultimately governments highest duty.

He may have run for his third mayoral term as a Republican No he didn't. He left the Republican Party in 2007 and ran for his third term two years later.
The GOP is no longer affiliated with Nanny McBloomberg.

The desire to tell other people what to eat stems from an infantile desire to be the mother instead of the child. Ditto for people who love to tell other people where to sit.

I believe it is to secure the natural rights of man, including life liberty and the pursuit of happiness - that governments are instituted among free men.

Listen BoobBerg, GooberBerg or whatever your name is:
Cram it clownie.
I just ate an enchilada with a creme chipotle sauce and it was delicious.
Nonyuh damn business what I eat or how much.
BTW, I did wash it down with a Diet Soda but, that because I like diet sodas. Can’t stand regular sodas.
Oh, and I didn’t eat the flour tortillas because I don’t like the taste of white flour anything.
Does that make your fascistic heart warmer?
Yuh craven Kommie.

Behold, the authentic voice of Fascism:
Governments don't exist to defend the borders, or to protect citizens from force or fraud; they exist to tell you what to eat.
This is what happens when people abdicate their personal responsibility to the tender mercies of petty tyrants because they are too bored or lazy to protect them.
