They didn`t. Do you people keep up with this stuff at all? Even if Bloomberg`s proposal stood up...A 16 oz. drink IS a large sugary drink.

Also sad that you don't care that obesity in America will reach 75% in 2020 if we continue down this path. I can only assume you are already there.

Just sitting here as a fit 60+ year old carpenter laughing at this thread.I can't even buy insulated underware for winter or even shirts or pants my size anymore everthing is x or xx or xxx large. My town doesn't have a junk food place but we don't have a clothing store either so we have to shop at the fat towns full of slow expensive junk food joints and xxx is the norm. We have become a fat lazy people. Why work when your kids get free hot breakfast,lunch,after school snacks,and weekend backpacks full of food.and 43% even get foodstamps to top it off what a freaking mess.fat lazy pigs and yes I will not work for them,sue me.

I noticed this too. I bought the same brand/size of t-shirt for many years. I had to restock my supply this year, and what used to fit perfectly is now way too big. I have not lost nor gained any weight, but the t-shirts are getting bigger. They are being super-sized, doubtless in response to consumer needs.

Damn straight! You have every right to get so morbidly and dangerously obese, that EMTs have to knock down a wall to get you into a specially adapted ambulance. How dare anyone tell you any different?

We would be a much easier country to invade when all the Americans are too fat to defend themselves that they get winded and need a break just walking to get their guns. So much for fighting against tyranny when that Big Mac is kicking our a$$es.
