I think the Soda Ban is a big deal to these politicians for nefarious reasons. If it passes it is going to be a foot in the door for a whole mess of other similar bans. The Govt. is closing in.
I am really disappointed to see De Blandsio continuing this trend. I fear the left as much as I do the right.
This is bad news.
Do you have a Link?
Is banning certain ounces of soda really that horrible? I don't think soda itself will whither away whether this supposed ban is real or just concocted. It's junk food, just like cream filled cookies. They will always find a place in our society regardless of what laws are passed pertaining to food and drinks.
BTW, a 20 oz bottle of Mountian Dew contains roughly 77 grams of sugar. That's only in ONE bottle. A lot of these sugary drinks are marketed heavily in lower income neighborhoods. It's a contributing factor in obesity and diabetes in said neighborhoods.
Why regulate soda? Why not just leave soda alone, & implement healthier options & alternatives? Restrictions can make people become more manipulative & bypass "laws".
