(CNSNews.com) – New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the large soda ban set to go into effect this month at city restaurants, street vendors and movie theaters is how government tells the public what’s in their best interest. “We're not banning anything. It's called portion control,” Bloomberg said Sunday on CBS’s "Face the Nation." “It's a typical way that companies use to and governments use to explain to people what's in their interest and what isn't.”

I find that most NYers enjoy being miserable. Must be a conditioned response from being crammed into a small sapce with millions of other miserable people.

the man is like all the left , thye want big Govt but when it comes to issues like them wanting to become dope smokers then they don;t want Govt.

So in this case it;s alright to smoke an illegal substance but not alright to drink what is legal and the left think that is alright.

you can;t even make this up anymore and they wonder why many think they;re stupid and selfish

agree, I got the wife out of MA because of we were fed up of paying taxes to a radical left wing agenda and I can;t understand as to why anyone puts up with living there anymore.

The north east has gone much like most of the west coast, sadly these buffoons move on down south to here or the mountain states and mess up more states.
Look at CO, want drugs legal so they get high but want to ban a 2nd amendment right

it is the media.
I lived up north for a bit and the media there are nothing but lying assholes who have an agenda and so when people come home they put their local news on and think the truth is being told

Maybe I am behind the times.... Does Sister Bloomberg have a family, in the conventional sense?

What institution houses little Bloomie's off-spring?

.

Bloomie is a raving nut-job, IMHO.
