This should get all the loyal Nanny/Police Staters very excited.
New York City plans to enact a far-reaching ban on the sale of large sodas and other sugary drinks at restaurants, movie theaters and street carts, in the most ambitious effort yet by the Bloomberg administration to combat rising obesity.
The proposed ban would affect virtually the entire menu of popular sugary drinks found in delis, fast-food franchises and even sports arenas, from energy drinks to pre-sweetened iced teas. The sale of any cup or bottle of sweetened drink larger than 16 fluid ounces about the size of a medium coffee, and smaller than a common soda bottle would be prohibited under the first-in-the-nation plan, which could take effect as soon as next March.
The measure would not apply to diet sodas, fruit juices, dairy-based drinks like milkshakes, or alcoholic beverages; it would not extend to beverages sold in grocery or convenience stores.
Obesity is a nationwide problem, and all over the United States, public health officials are wringing their hands saying, Oh, this is terrible, Mr. Bloomberg said in an interview on Wednesday in the Governors Room at City Hall.
New York City is not about wringing your hands; its about doing something, he said. I think thats what the public wants the mayor to do.
A spokesman for the New York City Beverage Association, an arm of the soda industrys national trade group, criticized the citys proposal on Wednesday. The industry has clashed repeatedly with the citys health department, saying it has unfairly singled out soda; industry groups have bought subway advertisements promoting their cause.
The New York City health departments unhealthy obsession with attacking soft drinks is again pushing them over the top, the industry spokesman, Stefan Friedman, said. Its time for serious health professionals to move on and seek solutions that are going to actually curb obesity. These zealous proposals just distract from the hard work that needs to be done on this front"...

This is NYC. Obama, though a terrible Marxist, is not responsibile for this. NYC has a habit and long track record of these social engineering deals. LOLberals love this shit because it means people are forced to do what they think is right.
That's why LOLberalism should be fucking banned ina free society. Banned.
When was the last time that NYC had a liberal Mayor?
I don't care what party Bloomberg claims affiliation to. He's a LOLberal nanny state central planning statist. This city, this state is a "progressive" as they come.
Control Freak. You know, Progressive.
And wheat grass drink
Can the government forcing this stuff on us really work? I just go to the gym 3 days a week because I want to, not because someone is forcing me.
I go to the gym 5 times a week, last year i stopped drinking caffeine. I've been eating healthy breakfast and lunch the last few months, last week I started eating healthy dinners (which sucks a lot btw). But the only reason I do anything healthy is because of gov't, if they didn't force me to do these things I'd need a wall knocked out of my bedroom to ever get out.
Bread and lettuce?

What next? Ban cheeseburgers? So much for land of the free
all Conservatives hate these people Sallow?.....are you taking Deans place today?....
Bowels movements are next. Only one per day per person. Any additional shit downs will cost you money on the state installed lid lock device. Credit and debit cards accepted for the transaction.
can bloomberg just do this, as if he were King? i think it would be unconstitutional....
that aside, just order 2 16oz bottles or 2 16 oz cups of coke....he's stopping nothing!
just ridiculous!
That is now.
Our children are the first generation not expected to live as long as their parents.
how surprising....Chris is for the Government telling people your drinking to much soda....what are you going to do Chris when they outlaw Sex Dolls?....Good job Bloomberg.
So NYC bans the large soda but still sells 40 ounces of beer? how does any of this make any sense?
The attack on smokers was just the tip of the ice berg, now we have people going after soda and you know they are eyeing alcohol and want to ban it.
I got 90% of Africans agreeing with me , and 5 billion Muslims all over the world.
