    Food regulations of the future?

    By Marta H. Mossburg

    Dateline: March 27, 2020—The federal government today announced new regulations for buying fast food.
    Starting June 1, upon entering a national fast food chain restaurant or before ordering via a drive-thru each patron must undergo a Body Mass Index (BMI) analysis. The score will determine portion sizes for adults and children and restrict the options available. Scores are: underweight, normal, overweight, obese and morbidly obese. Automated tickets issued from the machines will be color coded to alert servers of a patron’s options.

    If a person is obese, for example, he or she will only be able to order sugar-free drinks and meals with a combined 500 calories. Those items will be color coded on the menu to make choices easily identifiable, according to Wendy Smith, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), the agency that wrote the regulations. Those who wish to speed the process may apply for wrist bands, which will allow patrons to bypass the BMI calipers. Fingerprints will also be taken at checkout to ensure that those ordering receive one portion.

    Redhot Jumper next week I will buy my last "Kentucky Fried Chicken" in Starke on Highway 301 ......

    So on my trip home from Florida next week I will buy my last "Kentucky Fried Chicken" in Starke on Highway 301 between Ocala and Jacksonville, before we stop at the Motel in Baldwin, without having my weight tested and approved how many pieces we can buy.

    Maybe next fall on the way here, we will not be able to have our twice a year chunk food trip between Montreal and Naples. Would anybody know if the US Government will issue any "Food Passports" to non US travellers, so they can eat what they want or where they want along the highways ?

    Why will it be your last? Are you not returning to Naples?

    Keep your speed in check, especially through Starke and Lawtey! Any reason you're avoiding I75 and going US301?

    Or more likely we will pay a National Health Insurance tax of 10% because it's bad for the non obese as well.

    Those who get their insurance through the government run plan (Obamacare for all) will get a 2% tax deduction when they file yearly.
