New York City’s Mayor? or City Nutritionist???

I just heard on the evening news that New York City’s Mayor, Michael Bloomberg is at it again.  Now he is demanding that Hospitals around the city change their menus to more healthy alternatives.   What Gives?????

Although I do agree with him that if you should be able to get healthy foods anywhere in the city, it should of course, be at the hospital.

However, wasn’t he elected to be the Mayor of the City?  When did he get the job as the Citywide Nutritionist.

I don’t think that it is the job of a mayor to tell people what they should eat, drink of consume no matter where they are.  Doesn’t he have more important things to take care of in the city?  For instance, he should be working on fixing the many really bad streets throughout Manhattan.  Maybe he should try to stop the escalating costs of the Port Authority’s tolls on bridges and tunnels.  I mean people can’t afford to pay those exorbitant prices and they need to use the facilities to get to and from work.  Between the cost of gas and tolls, why bother going to work?  It’s all going to those fees any way.

A city as big as New York has a lot more problems, and more important things to worry about, than it’s citizens nutrition.

Nothing against Mayor Bloomberg, I like the guy, but come on Mayor.  Do your job and leave the nutrition to those whose job it is to watch.
