Soda Ban Enacted In New York
The next Prohibition begins! Because restricting access to Big Gulps of Pepsi is exactly the same as one of the most violent chapters in American history.
The great New York City soda ban has finally happened. The sale of sodas and sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces is now prohibited across all five boroughs.
Over the past few weeks, the Bloomberg Administration and the soda lobby have mounted a furious campaign war over the legislation. In retaliation, Mountain Dew and the New York Art Department teamed up to make a statement all over the city:

The campaign may have a point. Look how similar the ads are!

eccentricgerard 9 months agoI am healthy, I am liberal. However, this is a dangerous thing. I hope people are aware that they just granted the government more power. I can’t believe people gave up the right to chose. The government now has the right to say “no, you can’t have this! The choices of others also condemns you!”not to mention that this another form of government regulation on small businesses. I’m not fat, why should I care about obese people? I didn’t make them fat.

Brian H. 9 months agoI am amazed at all the sheeple that think this is a good idea. They must like being treated like a child. I get the occasional large soda, but not all the time. I live in Vegas where you can drink and party 24/7. But myself and the people that live here don’t do that. The majority of people self-limit themselves on things like this. So this people get fat on soda is a canard. Where is the scientific evidence that doing this will do any good? Ohhh, it’s all anecdotal, I see. I can make a good case that organic food is bad. It takes more farm land to grow, crop yields are lower, so it takes more energy to grow. Technically on those grounds I’m correct but I wouldn’t stand in the way of someone wanting to buying organic food. Let people make up their own minds.

Prohibition didn’t and doesn’t work for the simple fact that legislating any type of morality doesn’t work. If it did the prostitution trade would have been wiped out thousands of years ago. That’s why these laws aimed at alcohol, p0rn, drugs and and now apparently sugar laden sodas is about as effective as pi**ing into the wind.

Inform people of the health issues but let them make their own choices. And if it’s easy to just buy two regular-size sodas, then why have the law in place at all?

It’s all about $$$. You can’t buy a big gulp or xlarge drink but you can buy multiple bottles/cups of the smaller sizes and pay more tax on it. It’s not about keeping us healthy, it’s about making more money

MJW 9 months agoI don’t see this as a bad thing at all. I wish the Canadian government would do the same and more. A tax on trans-fats, soda and fast food would help pay for the burden these obese diabetics are putting our health care system; they would be pre-paying for their quadruple bi-pass!
