Democrat State Senator Alan Lowenthal

In something so asinine that only a Democrat could come up with… Everybody has ordered out for food I assume? Well, you know those white styrofoam containers with three or four compartments for your food that darned near every restaurant has? Well, those containers are about to be banned. And yes, the genius behind the ban is a Democrat.

Is there anything left in that state to ban anymore? Plastic garbage bags are out, plastic grocery bags are out, plastic leaf bags are out, Happy Meals are out, fast food restaurants are out via zoning ordinances, bottled water is out, smoking is out, soda pop is out, looking at pretty girls is out, seriously. What’s left to ban?

SACRAMENTO – Restaurant owner Gary Honeycutt says a push in California’s Legislature to ban the plastic foam containers he uses to serve up takeout meals could cost him thousands of dollars in an industry where profit margins are razor thin.

BJ’s Kountry Kitchen, in the heart of California’s farm country, uses about 26,000 of the 9-inch foam clamshells a year, mostly for takeout by the customers who come in for the restaurant’s popular breakfast omelets.

“We put cheese on those omelets. And when we put the cheese on, it’s really hot and bubbly and it goes right through the biodegradable stuff,’’ he said. He said he expects his costs would more than double if the state requires him to use only biodegradable cartons.

The bill by state Senator Alan Lowenthal, a Democrat, would prohibit restaurants, grocery stores, and other vendors from dispensing food in expanded polystyrene containers beginning in 2016.

Leave it to the tree hugging, environmental zealots. Those kooks alone are responsible for a lot of the inflation we are seeing. They’re militant zealots that need to be pushed back in to the woodwork. They all suffer from a mental disorder.
