Banning anything is bad in my opinion.

While it may be unhealthy, banning something because it is deemed unhealthy is bad. We wouldn't be able to eat the way we do if we let governments do so.

Well, I guess I will get my exercise when I walk up to the soda fountain to refill my coke a few times.
I'm with Goldsmith, banning is not the way to go.

+1 for treating people like grown ups and letting them make their own decisions.

I hope this doesn't get implemented. But at the same time I like the publicity it's getting. People need to know refined sugar in high amounts is bad.

But the government doesn't really like that. I mean, we are grownups compared to children, but it appears the government thinks we are their children.Originally Posted by Uncephalized

It's not a ban on the drinks, per se, it's a ban on the large size drinks. Not saying it's a good thing to start banning something people should be able to make their own choice on, though. I mean, if people want to spend their money on a 44 oz drink when they could spend less on a 20 oz drink and fill up as needed, then they should be allowed to be stupid.

Bloomberg had some really great mayoral moments during his first 2 legitimate terms, but with this weird shady third term he snuck in, he's really ruining his legacy. Banning the trans-fats in restaurants in NYC, that I was ok with, even though I'd rarely to never eat fried foods anyway, but this soda cap seems pointless and just a cheap way for him to grab some headlines for being a mayor who really cares about the common folk while he's shuttling between NYC and his weekend home in the bahamas.
