Get ready for the Regime to mandate shopping carts that will verbally nag you into making what they consider “healthy choices.”
The cart would be color-coded, physically divided, and have a system installed so that when the shopping cart reaches its healthy “threshold” it would congratulate the customer. …“You achieved a MyCart healthy shopping basket! Goody! Goody! for You!”
Because in a Nanny State, we all have to be treated like slow children.
And just remember, we will all be paying higher prices for those more expensive carts to nag us while we shop.
Charles beat me to it-I don’t want my grocery bill, which is high enough already to get higher to use a nagging shopping cart.
Does it yell at you if you fill it with chips and Little Debbie?
Just lock up all the “bad food” and install a taser for those who stop and drool. Everyone entering a grocery store should pass through a body-mass-magnetrometer and be issued a store GPS which takes them to “correct” food and automatically issues the appropriate amount to be purchased. Anyone by-passing the system should be hectored by NSA delivered nightmares of The Wookie scolding them and promising vengeful weight control and redistribution by the Nurse Ratched division of the Nanny State Ideals and Perfection Department.
The only way it would work is if ALL the person’s purchases were tracked at all stores for the last 30 days. I’m sure I’m not the only one who shops at several stores for my food–partly from choices, partly from I need something now that I didn’t need on my main shopping trip.
But it’s all right, we should all love Big Brother–or is it Big Nanny?
I like Limbaugh’s idea that the voice should be
Her Royal MajestyMs. Obama’s voice.This might be OK for the EBT crowd, but I will spend my earnings, or what is left of them after taxes as I see fit. If I want to buy a gallon of Wet, some licorice, and some cake frosting I don’t want a cart judging my lifestyle.
While conservatives will stock up on 6months of emergency food obamavoters will stock up on skittles, Arizona Ice Tea Watermelon drink, and cough syrup for their purple lean(poor mans PCP). I hope everyone here with a yard or balcony has something planted, you can even gorilla garden a vacant lot

Homeless people are going to have a blast sorting their belongings in all those color-coded carts.
And they can make the thing talk just for fun!
