Opponents of the city's limit on the size of sugary drinks are raising questions of racial fairness alongside other complaints as the novel restriction faces a court test.

The NAACP's New York state branch and the Hispanic Federation have joined beverage makers and sellers in trying to stop the rule from taking effect March 12. With a hearing set Wednesday, critics are attacking what they call an inconsistent and undemocratic regulation, while city officials and health experts defend it as a pioneering and proper move to fight obesity.

does everybody notice that the elites NEVER talk about the most expensive health care issue per capita...hiv/aids...because one just can't sermonize or restrict the homos activity...you can't even suggest limiting partners or abstaining...

while they go after cigarette smokers, they never go after pot users, which is far more harmful...

its good to be king...

Best thing the NAACP has done in decades!

We all knew Bloomberg was a condescending racist.

Obama banned flavored cigarettes. EXCEPT Menthol.
