NO MORE BIG GULPS: NEW YORK CITY TO BAN SALE OF LARGE SODAS & SUGARED DRINKS
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 Governor’s Room at City Hall.

Where's my nanny? I am thirsty and cannot decide for myself what to drink.

Just don't pour them both into one large cup. That will get you a trip to the pokey.

Me personally? I don't want to be fat or unhealthy so I choose NOT to drink sugared soft drinks. I stopped drinking soda altogether about 2 years ago and I feel great.
HOWEVER.....
It's not the governments job to be in my refrigerator. If I want to be fat and unhealthy that should be my choice.
Whats with all the freaking out about being overweight? There is nothing wrong with being overweight if the peson is happy and enjoying their life.
Understatement of the century.... Government is out of control and they hav no business telling us what size drink we can and cannot purchase.
Liberals support a woman's right to choose to murder her baby but not her right to choose to drink a large soda.

Stupid.
There's no evidence that the act of drinking soda in ANY amount causes or even contributes to obesity.
My wife hasn't had a coke in two and a half years, but hasn't lost any weight due to other health factors.
