Soda Ban May Hit the Big Apple

An anonymous reader writes "NYC residents may soon be unable to buy big gulps. In an effort to curb obesity, New York City's Mayor Bloomberg is seeking a ban on oversized sodas in restaurants, movie theaters and stadiums officials said on Wednesday. 'Obesity is a nationwide problem, and all over the U.S., public health officials are wringing their hands saying, "Oh, this is terrible,"' Mayor Bloomberg said. 'New York City is not about wringing your hands; it's about doing something. I think that's what the public wants the mayor to do.'"

Re:How is this legal?

Lets completely ignore how that isn't true in any country that has single payer health care.
There is decades of data around single payer government systems, but lets keep ignoring it and make decision based on logical fallacies shoved down your throat by the republican party.

Really? I ask because I just read a story about how NY is trying to ban sugary drinks because of health care costs. HERE is a link.
