Huge difference between driving drunk and drinking a bunch of soda, soda doesn’t impair your ability to drive.
Apologetic Nanny State article is obvious.....

I’ve always been impressed that Bloomie understands NYers aren’t capable of making reasonable food choices. But I’m distressed that he feels they should be able to vote in federal elections.

“If we want Americans to be healthy...”
And, therein lies the fallacious foundation of this overreach by government. It is NOT THE BUSINESS OF GOVERNMENT whether I want to be healthy.
Of course, the response from the left is that my health determines my health care costs, which affect everyone else.
I call BS on that one, too. The cost of healthcare in the US did not start its meteoric rise until the feds got their tentacles in the industry back in the 1950’s. I was there.
I remember going to the doctor’s office for his afternoon office hours. Sit in the waiting room with the others on queue. The doctor called us in, one after the other, took our two dollars, and did his work. We left with meds, instructions for care and appointment for follow-up visit (if necessary).
Then...the feds got involved... That spelled the advent of defensive medicine, over testing, and double digit price increases year after year. The deeper the feds got their teeth into the industry, the worse it got. And, we see no end in sight.

“Governments have a responsibility to provide healthier environments for their citizens.”
Uh...no, they don’t.

"You may find this hard to believe, but the original Coca-Cola was 6.5 ounces, smaller than any size available today."
And it was marketed as a "tonic" -- complete with that wonderful pick-me-up cocaine.
"Fix the price differential. A 7.5-ounce can of soda costs twice as much per ounce as a two-liter bottle, and you can't buy just one; it comes in an 8-pack. Price determines sales. If a 16-ounce soda costs a dollar, a 32-ounce soda should cost two dollars."
Let me reword that: Completely ignore the economic realities involved. Penalize people for attempting to economize by buying their drinks in larger containers, and either sharing them, or storing the remainder in the fridge for another time. Don't concern yourself about all the extra packaging material smaller containers use. We'll just make containers illegal sometime in the near future.
The author of this article gives food NAZIs a bad name. Are you positive this isn't satire?

I've come to the realization that anything written by marion nestle needs to be limited by law to no more than 12 words. Comparing the sugary drink ban to drunk driving laws may be the dumbest thing I've ever read. I mean we're talking "Sheila Jackson Lee- DUMB here!" Anything more and I find my brain cells dying. So in the name of public health, she needs to be banned from being able to write in public.

So banning certain expressions and ideas is NOT an attack on Free Speech.
Banning guns is NOT an attack on right to bear arms.
And banning soda enhances our freedoms?
On some planet I guess this makes sense....

Ash hole opinions like this is why I haven't read the Daily Snooze in fifteen years. Equating drinking 17oz sodas with “drunk driving” is beyond moronic.
