First note that they did not ban the large sodas in retail stores (such as grocery stores). Not a very level playing field. Second, I can see convenience stores springing up at the edges of NYC hawking cigarettes, trans fats, salty stuff, super sized sodas, etc. Third, eventually the mob will start black marketing the stuff in the city, with payoffs to the police to keep quiet. I can see it now. A large box truck pulls into an alley and opens up the back and starts selling candy bars, bucket of soda, foot long cigarettes, etc. until the police come, pocket their take and a little something for the Bloomberg re-election campaign, before they have them move to a new location.
We need Kojak to come back & put Mayor “I know everything” Bloomberg in his place.
I sure don’t think New Yorkers allowed him to bypass the term limits to get this for a result.
How many New Yorkers are going to stand still for this???
What’s next? How many eggs I can eat in one day? How much peanut butter I can put on my PBJ sandwich?
This is far out of the realm of a Mayor’s job!!!
