Just like all the stupid shlt that gets passed/banned here in CA, I find it hard to feel bad for everyone there as a whole if they choose to accept this BS.

The saddest part is that he was voted in for a third term after he blatantly changed the law so that he could run for a third term, and then changed the law back so that nobody else could run for a third term. I can't stand the guy but when living in a republic sometimes you get screwed because the majority consists of a bunch of idiots.

why is this person trying to decrease the sales of a beverage that makes restaurants money, when the economy is bad and they need this money?

which is what fat people are currently doing to themselves anyway. Taking it away will do nothing at worst by this logic.

For clarity I will say that this is attached to the original Soda ban bill and it doesn't outlaw soda, but it does reduce the size you can buy in one container. That being said Soda is gross, but people have to come to that conclusion on their own. Can't force people to do anything, even if it is good for them. Look at the fools that continue to smoke themselves in the grave with Tobacco. You tell them, you show them, and still they want to f*cking do it. Just live your life and stop trying to police others, it's a waste of time!

These regulations are major bullsh!t, completely a breach of personal liberty. I understand the want to fight obesity and diseases like diabetes, and I could understand such regulations in elementary/middle/high schools, but this is the completely wrong way to go about it. This will not stop obesity or diabetes, you need proper health education to do that.

That's crap! These walking blobs know how they got like that, it isn't a secret or some highly level medical science. They just choose to continue down this path because they want to. It's very simple! You could talk until you are blue in the face, but pudgey paul is still going to order that #1 with large fries and a  44 oz soda.

[QUOTE="megagene"][QUOTE="dave123321"]Hey guys, are you experiencing glitches? Like seen outdated thread info or negative unread posts?

Yep. I posted in a thread and it was all good, but then a minute later my post magically disappeared and it said (-1) next to the number of new posts.

That means gs is having a cache problem. Looks like I missed it. But it's quite common with the site.

Good for him, I wish Canada would do something like this. If people won't fight this sugary crap by themselves, someone has to. There are no positives to drinking soda imo. If you need a sugary drink, try some "real" fruit juice. As well as making PE mandatory throughout all of school and everyday.

No, they don't have to. If someone wants to eat sugar then you cant stop them, they will just pick up a candy bar or something else. This kind of legislation makes no sense because it fixes nothing.Maybe this sounds dumb, but I think its more likely that these laws are being passed because the coffee companies are seeing a dip in there sales because of all these energy drinks and such and they want to get rid of them, so they lobby for it through these laws. I think that makes more sense, I mean this will do nothing for peoples health, all it will do is make business's sell less soda and make less money in a bad economy, theres got to be something else going on, this is just dumb.

While they're at it they might as well ban cars and make everyone start walking or riding bikes everywhere to get more exercise.

I agree to a point, but soda is one of the main culprits. I also think that energy drinks should get the same treatment especially since they're labeled as a "health product" on some of the cans. These sugary drinks have no purpose, at least with a candy bar or bag of chips you can get a possible feeling fullness, instead of just a liquid in your stomach. You're probably right about the lobbying part where those companies are start to feel the pressure about their sales. This is something the world needs to change as a whole. Personal well-being should always come first and your economy second. I just think it's good to take away some of these bad choices because it's one less item for these people to grab that's bad for them. And one step closer to getting something healthy.

sodas are a easy source of carbs.

Getting your carbs from refined sugar is horrible. Complex carbs from grains and vegetables is a much better alternative.

Are you still on this? No we should not be able eat things like children or people's televisions that we don't own. But that is not what is being discussed. Please try to keep up. You are embarrassing yourself. Pay attention to the context you silly ex-civilian.

Bloomberg is a moron. What good will that possibly do besides causing people to spend more money on the big soda companies. Buying 2 16 liters instead of 1 32. ferrari2001
The thing is, most people won't buy two 160z drinks. They'l be satisfied enough with one that they won't want tocarry aroud the secnd cup.

The reason people get the 32oz now is the psychological thing of wanting to have the biggest one.

Of course you cant. Look what they did in New York

Any way, they're not controling what people eat, they're only controlling the package size. You can stil buy and consume as much of it as you want.

Heaven forbid we improve our public education system on the merits of proper health and exercise.. Or trying to promote going to a gym by giving certain benefits such as a tax breaks.. This is a reactionary and stupid ass law..
