Gone are the days of free love, free LSD, and freedom to eat whatever you want. After last week's historic decision to make San Francisco the first in the country to ban the sale of cigarettes in pharmacies Walgreens and Rite Aid stores, City Hall isn't stopping there. The Board of Supes also wants to bar you from lighting up in city parks, ATM lines, and common areas of apartment buildings; voted for chain restaurants to post nutritional information on menus; have shunned delicious trans-fats (which is semi-ridiculous since high fructose corn syrup is the real enemy, but that's an entirely different post altogether); charge restaurants a fee for selling sugary sodas (which is good since Diet Coke tastes better); and close down city streets in an effort to get you to participate in mass jazzercise.

Are city leaders trying to invade your personal lives. Sure, but what else is new?

As software engineer Chris Carillo expertly tells the Chronicle, "Next, it'll be if you're fat and eating sugar, you'll get a ticket ... [t]here's crime on the streets, homeless people congregating, a lot of grime. I'd rather see them concentrate on that." (Sing it loud, Chris!)

Do you agree? Do San Franciscans need to be healthier even though the Bay Area is routinely rated as having some of the most in-shape people in the U.S.? Or are we just guinea pigs getting superfluously fit for Newsom's governorship resume?
