Used to drink a lot of soda..I'll occasionally have a soda at Costco with that hot dog deal but other than that, feel a lot better for giving it up. Still addicted to sugar though

While I know that parents have an enormous influence to empower their children to be able to think for themselves I always think of this, from Mr. Philip K. Dick, when I think about advertisement and the such:

"The power of spurious realities battering at us today—these deliberately manufactured fakes never penetrate to the heart of true human beings. I watch the children watching TV and at first I am afraid of what they are being taught, and then I realize, They can't be corrupted or destroyed. They watch, they listen, they understand, and, then, where and when it is necessary, they reject. There is something enormously powerful in a child's ability to withstand the fraudulent. A child has the clearest eye, the steadiest hand. The hucksters, the promoters, are appealing for the allegiance of these small people in vain. True, the cereal companies may be able to market huge quantities of junk breakfasts; the hamburger and hot dog chains may sell endless numbers of unreal fast-food items to the children, but the deep heart beats firmly, unreached and unreasoned with. A child of today can detect a lie quicker than the wisest adult of two decades ago. When I want to know what is true, I ask my children. They do not ask me; I turn to them. "

from 'How to Build a Universe That Doesn't Fall Apart In Two Days'

Jesus, fucking hostile much? Thanks for posting a proper news link which this thread was lacking, but I'm not sure you read it thoroughly. "Parks shall not be used for business or social services." Nobody can sell or give away food there, to rich people or to homeless people. No hot dog stands unless they get a letter from the city.

The fact that the mayor amended his statement from "feeding the homeless just enables them" to "you can feed the homeless, but only indoors" belies his real feelings on the matter, but his excuse does have lots of precedent behind it. Cities mandate permits for all kinds of stuff, especially on public land. Not only that, but if you serve the food closer to the kitchen it stays hotter longer which reduces the risk of food poisoning. So, food safety? Technically yes. Not making the occasional exception for charity? Pretty shitty. I wonder what would happen if they asked for a permit.

And "catered food" describes how it was prepared, not how it is served. It is purchased from a business with inspected kitchens and health ratings, not from some person's back room where they leave the chicken out unrefrigerated covered in rat shit. It also usually comes in identical bins like that, whereas a randomized tupperware collection would look more like something privately prepared. It was just an observation which could indicate (or preclude) more food safety issues.

Do church kitchens have health inspections since they are not restaurants? Maybe that's the next thing the mayor can crack down on to keep the homeless hungry so they learn to get a job.

In conclusion, I hate writing follow-ups to internet comments, because now I know there's going to be another round to which I will probably not respond. Don't be offended.

i lived in chicago for a spell many years ago.
great people.
great music.
deep dish pizza can suck a dick.
though the hot dogs are pretty damn good,as are the brats (which i had never had before).
northeast pizza reigns supreme,deny this and you hate kittens and puppies.

why do you hate kittens and puppies?

I'm the same...it's all good...and I don't get the "food rules" some people have like how certain toppings should not go on pizza or hot dogs.

If it tastes good shouldn't that be all that matters?

Coyote's are typically pretty timid and won't let you get close to them... however, there are those that have become used to humans, and will hang out around garbage bins and populated areas for easy dinners. We have a few that hang out under the shade trees of the back 9 of the local golf course in the evenings down here in west Texas, and as soon as the unsold hot dogs go in the dumpster, they dine.

I was musing and found a link googling, "designer hot dogs" and found this:

Google℗ makes things pretty simple, and I'm too lazy to perform html hoo-nah now..
