Mayor of NYC Bans 2 liter soda with pizza delivery

for the lazys--

Amid New York Mayor Michael Bloombergs ban on big sodas taking effect in March are some details that may have been overlooked.

The mayors new rules prohibit restaurants from serving or selling soda in containers larger than 16 ounces. 

The rules will force consumers to pay more for smaller containers. Under the ban, they would have to buy six 12-ounce cans at an average cost of $7.50 to get an equivalent amount of a $3 2-liter bottle.

Isn't that bad for the environment? :?

He is insane.  Certifiable.  

Meh, civilians don't need 2 liter bottles anyway. thegerg

I feel bad for New York. They should do something like the Boston Tea Party which instead it would be called the New York Cola Party or something.

Bloomberg is a hack.

This is sooo stupid. You can't force people to get into shape!

Too far.

No one can tell someone else what they can and cannot eat... let alone legislate it.Zeviander

This isn't going to help obesity. Like the last soda ban people can probably just circumvent it and order two smaller sizes of drinks.

Another mostly pointless law.

[QUOTE="thegerg"] Of course they can, and they should.thegerg

[QUOTE="thegerg"] I like my freedom and your's as well. That doesn't mean, though, that you should be lawfully allowed to eat whatever you want.thegerg

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"]smh @ people arguing with thegergsherman-tank1

[QUOTE="sherman-tank1"]

[QUOTE="thegerg"] I agree, that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be restrictions on you choosing what you consume, though.thegerg

[QUOTE="thegerg"] "Why not?" Because disallowing people to eat certain things is reasonable and protects the rights of others. thegerg

[QUOTE="thegerg"] I have some delicious deviled eggs in my fridge right now. They are mine, I plan to eat them tomorrow, I do not want you to eat them. Disallowing you from eating my eggs protects my property rights. Another example, your mom's face. It is reasonable and proper to lawfully disallow me from eating her face. Again, disallowing people to eat certain things is reasonable and protects the rights of others.thegerg

[QUOTE="thegerg"][QUOTE="sherman-tank1"]I'm talking about the soda specifically. This is a different subject because you are using examples of consuming somebody else's property.

He should also ban dessert at every restaraunt in the city.  Dessert is bad for you and I'd prefer that someone make that choice for me.
