Either MCCCD stops selling all unhealthy, sugary snack-type foods IMMEDIATELY...or they've just revealed themselves to be nothing more than filthy liars and hypocrites.

I am not a smoker, but people wake up, this is just the start of losing your liberties and rights. The girl is correct if she wants to destroy herself isn't that her right? Who are we to tell people how to live their lives or what they should do? No more stench if the person is in a designated smoking are what are you doing in that area? Move if you don't like it. It's like the Casino's I enjoy going there but do I tell them not to smoke if I don't like it I don't go period....why must everyone comply with everyone's thoughts. You do have a choice for now.

Yea no more stench......Smokers smell sooooooo bad. If you want to smoke in your house or car, fine, but when smokers stand around in public areas it takes away my rights of having to smell that stuff.

Ok, then do it. Stop selling the sugary, fatty food in the student center. Shut down all Coke and Pepsi machines. Stop selling garbage foods like hotdogs at your football games. But then that would hurt your bottom line, wouldn't it?
America, you've s c r e w e d yourselves. Your liberties and rights are finished. Obamacare is just one of the last nails to pound you down. The American dream of liberty and freedom has been destroyed by liberal do-gooders and too often they come from academia.

Funny that MCCCD is worried about this but doesn't seem to mind cults recruiting students from their PVCC campus. Westminster Fellowship Inc. (A Reformed Christian cult led by Surrendra Gangadean ) recruits students from PVCC philosophy classes. Despite numerous complaints, detailed evidence and a lawsuit, it's clear that MCCCD doesn't care about the welfare of their students.
