City health officials say the ban is necessary to combat a deadly obesity epidemic.

If i ran 7-11, i would sell 32 oz cups separately, and let customers buy 2 16 oz sodas. The cups would cost a penny.

Well New Yorkers, it’s official. You are too stupid to run your own lives.

There will never be an end to left-wing social engineering.

Ironic, according to liberal doctrine, you have the freedom and choice to murder your own children in the womb, but it is now illegal to buy a Big Gulp.

It’s interesting how the liberal approach to social problems is to focus on the inanimate object. To fight crime, they ban guns; to fight obesity, they ban sodas; to curb graffiti, they make it difficult to buy marking pens; to curb methamphetamine use, they make it difficult for cold sufferers to obtain pseudoephedrine, etc.

We don’t need Boards of Health anyways.

Or any other regulatory bureaucracy.

Someone needs to push Bloomie in front of a subway train.

Welcome to Despotism libs. And incredibly they want it nationwide. Unfortunately I live in New York city and one of my buddys owns a small convenience shop in the middle of nowhere in Elmhurst Queens. A few days ago the gestapo..I mean the city inspector, came in and gave him two tickets for not having a “no cash refunds” sign near his register and the register cash display an inch too short above the counter. How much were the tickets? $350 each for a total of $700 and he said he is lucky if he makes $100 a day. So for one week he will work for nothing because liberals think big government is cool man.

I eagerly await Bloomberg pointing to the spot of the Federal, State, County or City consitition or charter which gives him the power to do this.

I’ll wait.

IF NYC is truly concerned about obesity then they should ban GMO foods.

There’s no such thing as eating healthy anymore when the seeds are filled with chemicals. Fat is protecting the human body from those chemicals.

Movie theater owners are about to become very political. They make the majority of their profit (between 75 to 80%) from concessions. The majority of their profit from concessions are popcorn and soda.
