Banning of large soda in NY

I personally don't drink soda, water is my drink. But it was fun to read about it.

big brother watches you touch yourself.

Yeah this was a crap move. Just another way for the "people" to have more control over you and to get you used to it so you don't put up a fight.

 

Yea since people don't have any other way to get fat. Stupid ban.

 

I'm with you brother , it's a slippery slope from here to gun control

 

wow.....i thought california was fucked up

im glad to live in CA and not NY

but still sucks here in CA haha

 

Don't you just love living in a "free" country? And then they will serve the guy behind you beer after beer too.

 

This is what refills are for, but maybe those will get banned too.

 

I BLAME SCOTT

Lol, NY is already a bad state to live in for owning fire arms.

 

NEW YORK CITY — Say goodbye to venti Frappuccinos, gallon movie theater slurpees and big sodas.

The city's Board of Health approved Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s ban on large sugar-sweetened drinks at its monthly meeting Thursday morning. Nine members voted for it, and one abstained.

Under the plan, all restaurants, fast-food joints, delis, movie theaters, sports stadiums and even food carts will be barred from selling sugar-sweetened drinks in cups larger than 16 ounces.

The limits will not apply to drinks sold in grocery stores, diet sodas, drinks that are more than 70-percent fruit juice, or that contain alcohol.

Dairy drinks containing more than 50 percent milk will also be allowed thanks to their redeeming nutritional qualities — though that’s little solace for Frappuccino lovers since the Starbucks treats contain far less milk than that.

The plan, which requires no other authorization than the Board of Health's vote, has elicited outrage from many, including representatives of the beverage industry which launched an aggressive million-dollar lobbying campaign against the restrictions, accusing Bloomberg of running a Nanny State.

 

Because of all the obese people in the country, they decide to ban soda....? Really?

 

I think we should ban stupid people from having kids, then we wouldn't have to ban soda or guns.

(Did I just say that??)

 

brother

 

That's what I'm saying brother , they're after the guns , the pop is just the first move
