NO smoking in restaurants and parks. NO artificial trans fat in restaurant food. Calorie content must be posted next to the price at chain restaurants. Up next… a ban on large sugery drinks?
Yup, that’s right! New York City plans to enact a ban on the sale of large sodas and sugary drinks including energy drinks and pre-sweetened iced teas at restaurants, movie theaters, street carts, delis, fast-food franchises and even sports arenas. The sale of any cup or bottle of sweetened drink larger than 16 fluid ounces would be ILLEGAL; this could take effect as soon as March 2013. In this on-going war against obesity, the administration of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg strike yet again with this outrageous move.
I’m all about living a healthy lifestyle - eating right, workouting regularly, not smoking and that is my choice. If someone wants to swallow a big gulp that’s thier choice too. The keyword here is CHOICE, why are we being stripped of our right to CHOOSE. Besides, what’s stopping someone from just buying two 16-ounce drinks to quench their thirst?
