Sony chairman Michael Lynton calls for healthy alternative to popcorn in cinemas - Times Online
For many, a night out at the movies would not be complete without the sound of popcorn and chocolate wrappers from the stalls. One of the most powerful studio bosses in Hollywood, however, would like to see cinemas selling healthier snacks.
Michael Lynton, chairman and chief executive of Sony Pictures, says that audiences would be better off nibbling on granola bars, fruit salad, yogurt and vegetable crudités with dips. “I can almost imagine the Romans eating popcorn and drinking Coke at the Colosseum 2,000 years ago,” he told a convention of cinema owners in Las Vegas. “But by bringing healthier snacks into your concession stands you would be helping our country meet an urgent public health need.”
Years ago, we warned you that the food nazis would be coming after you - and your cheeseburgers, your fries, your bacon, and your butter - and here they come, from the elite havens of New York to the nanny havens of Hollywood. They won’t stop until they control every single aspect of your life.

Sony chairman Michael Lynton makes a public call to get his ass kicked.
I think that’s what the headline meant to say. At least, that’s how I read it.
I’m sure the fruits and vegetables you’ll buy at the movie theater will be delicious and fresh. I just threw up in my mouth a little bit thinking what the grapes in that fruit salad would look like.
Note to self: Don’t go to movies or buy stuff from companies whose chairman is this big a dumbass. Somebody needs to take a big stick to the nanny staters and food police.
Sony = Rootkit. Never forgive, never forget.
