NYC plans to ban sales of sugary drinks over 16 ounces
NYC plans to ban sales of sugary drinks over 16 ounces | Fox NewsNew York – No more super-sized Cokes. Forget about stomach-busting 64-ounce sodas at KFC. Even 20-ounce Snapples are on Mayor Bloomberg’s latest heath-conscious hit list.
New York City plans to ban the sale of large sodas and other sugary drinks in an effort to combat obesity.
The proposed first-in-the-nation ban would impose a 16-ounce limit on the size of sweetened drinks sold at restaurants, movie theaters, sports venues and street carts. It would apply to bottled drinks as well as fountain sodas.
The ban, which could take effect as soon as March, wouldn't apply to diet sodas, fruit juices, dairy-based drinks or alcoholic beverages.

Thank God! What would anyone do without Mayor Bloomberg to think for us?
The idiots in NYC elected him and deserve having him think for them.That which does not kill me, better start fucking running.

Great, now they will be forced to buy more bottles creating more waste.

Where would the human race be without some politician holding our hands
'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end!'
“A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity.” Sigmund Freud
