Colorado city to stop selling ice cream at pools, parks

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Boulder residents will no longer be able to cool off with an ice cream cone by the pool because the city has discontinued the sweet treat as a vending option at all Parks and Recreation facilities.

The city dropped ice cream cones, bars and sandwiches in an effort to cut down on sugary, unhealthy snacks, The Daily Camera reported (http://bit.ly/29c8YoD). City-run facilities can only sell treats that satisfy a series of nutritional standards, meaning chips and other junk food also left snack stands this year.

The change hasn’t been welcomed by everyone. Andrew Gafford, 8, said he has always spent his summers enjoying a Neapolitan ice cream sandwich at the pool.

“I’ll get over it, but then it brings back a lot of memories of me getting ice cream sandwiches,” Andrew said. “Like this one time, when I was eating one very slowly, so it melted all over me. It makes me feel sad to say.”

They are going to unlabel the changing rooms though, so anyone can go into any of them to change into their bathing suit. Man, woman, tranny, freak, nutcase, pervert, sex offender, killer, rapist, girls, boys, hermaphrodites.

You can eat whatever you want but the city is not obligated to sell it to you. Stop whining. Maybe there will be less fat kids that end up with diabetes because their parents are not smart enough to ensure that they eat healthy foods and have ice cream/junk food as an occasional treat rather than an everyday staple.
