So if they regulate the size of jumbo sodas--are they going to prohibit someone from just buying, I don't know...two regular-sized sodas? Which would basically be the same thing?
Dumbest ban ever.
you nailed it...bloomy is an idiot
ok I cant buy a 32oz...let me have 2 16 oz.....duh
but bloomy is also smart in one way...as most liberals, his policy hurts the poor and middleclass...now pople who WANT 32oz will PAY MORE for 2 16 oz cups

Yup, and buying two likely means more:
-Plastic for lids
-Plastic for straws
-Paper for cups
-Paper for straw wrappers
-Water for ice cubes
-Paper for a slightly longer reciept
I hope he causes a huge garbage pile up in the city....not likely but I'd love to see one ill-conceived do-gooder campaign totally blow up another...ie the environmental one. I mean I support environmental causes and all, but maybe if this ends up screwing up something they love they will rethink it.
what the heck is happening to our freedoms I mean most Soft drinks are high in HFCS and if you drink nothing but Pop instead of fruit juice or the thing our bodies actually need plain old H2O.
I mean Japan has Vending machines that sell Beer and Germany has Beer on tap at Mcdonalds and why cant we have thos things or be allowed to get a Gallon size cup of Fountain pop at fast food places since they water it down anyways but I should have the fredom to get a ice Cold Beer with a Burger inside the Fast food Chains.
I mean staduims that have NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB all sell Beer, Burgers and Hotdogs and sure they price gouge you but they still sell it.
I heard it passed ,this is just as bad as the incoming health law.I don't live in NYC but seriously,telling me no more big sodas. Is this country going communist or what ? If America wants to know about the so called ' obesity problem " they need to concerate on campaigning to get people to exercise more,walk more to their destinations instead of driving everywhere .Sorry,I have the brain cells,Mrs.Odummer to know if I order an extra large Pepsi ,burger and large fries it is not healthy .It called common sense.
Since we now have the precedent of taxing bad behavior, I can't see why the mayor just didn't put a high tax on big drinks to price it out of reach of the consumer. We're doing it with cigs why not drinks as well.
Wouldn't it seem necessary to measure progress to see how effective this is? How can somebody declare that 32oz sodas are making people fat without having a way to track progress? Are the results of legislation not important? What is going to happen in 5 years when people are still fat?
