Did NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg go too far with his planned ban on sugar based drinks over 16 oz in NYC?

Asked by jca (36062points) May 31st, 2012

Mayor Mike Bloomberg of NYC is pushing through a bill to ban sugary drinks (i.e. soda) over 16 oz in New York city. You could still buy soda in the store, but in a cup, soda and other sugar based drinks will no longer be available in sizes bigger than 16 oz. He acknowledges that you can purchase 2 if you really want to, but he is hoping that it would make people think twice about doing so.

Many people are saying he’s gone too far.
