N.Y. Mayor Bloomberg bans 2-liter sodas with pizza delivery

I don't like Bloomberg, nor do I think he's done "a lot" of good for NYC.

But I do think his heart is in the right place - he has a vision of what he thinks NY should be, and he's pursuing that. To his credit, I think his personal wealth makes him somewhat immune to corruption - he's not bought and paid for, which can't be said for other NYC politicians.

I do think it's funny when people blame "the liberals" for Bloomberg - he's always been challenged from the left, not the right. He's had his name appear under the Republican Party each time he's ran - with the only real competition from his Democratic challengers. He's not a "liberal" in the NYC sense of the word.

Yes, he is.
 
Bloomberg does not understand the concept of sharing. Next, a limit to the size of pizzas themselves. No one should be eating a pizza bigger than 6 inches.

One big bottle, many small glasses. He doesn't come close to understanding the concept.

Just order two of the smaller bottles if you want. There is nothing wrong with encouraging people away from obesity.

There is a difference between encouraging and controlling.

It is controlling if you cannot get 2 liters, but you can get as much as you want.

So you honestly believe that it's the govs job to decide what you should eat or drink?
I for one believe there are other more important problems to worry about.
If I lived there I would cross state lines and buy a shitload of two liter bottles of coke and sell them out in front of the police station.
I'll never understand the liberal mind.

Then why are you worrying about this problem? Do you even live in NYC?

I do not see how encouraging people to eat properly and be healthier is a bad thing. If you know anything about health and nutrition, you know just how bad sweet, carbonated drinks are for you, especially for children. You can order as many of the smaller bottles that you want. If this is restricted, I can see your point about a nanny state.

How is he encouraging people to eat better? It's a law not a choice, he is restricting not encouraging.

How much more does it cost to order smaller bottles, instead of a large one? Looks like he is wanting to separate the hard worker from his money, for what reason? None.

Laws like these point out how the education system is a failure, they can't educate people to eat or drink better, so they just ban it.

For my kids while growing up, we didn't buy soda, why, because it wasn't healthy and taught them it wasn't healthy. Imagine, we didn't need a law!

Once again, you can order 2 liters or more so it is not restricting.

In the end it's still stupid and nanny like.

Funny how libs can't see the control and how it is unfair to the poor.

It is controlling if you cannot get 2 liters, but you can get as much as you want.

Which is why the whole thing is a fucking joke.

trust me this is all a scam so the state of new york can collect more bottle deposits. it has nothing to do with obesity.

And do you live in NYC? Cannot believe people are making such a fuss about this.
