A judge has blocked Mayor Bloomberg's measure to ban large sodas at theaters and other establishments.
Tasteful amounts. Blech.
This may be seen by some as a terrible blow against solving the obesity problem.
But I see it as a victory for the right to choose in a society that should foster education over Big Brother-style legal limitations.
Slurp.
People aren't obese or have health problems because of the size of soda. It's because a small orange juice cost triple the amount of a 2 liter of soda. Particularly in "inner city" areas. Take a GOOD look around people.
What are the odds that this dude will get re-elected? Hopefully the people will finally say enough is enough and elect someone who's not part of the global elite.

I hear you. Here in Austin, there are plenty of people who are not happy about a plastic bag ban. No more paper bags or thin plastic bags for our purchases. Though I'm not from NYC, every morning, I read the NY Daily News and NY Post...plus your columns. Your mayor is a major control freak. First sodas....now ear buds. I'm sort of a political moderate, but the idea of one individual telling people what they should do and how they should do it strikes me as ridiculous.
