What would you do without your large Sodas in the USA?

BUT the figures according to the USA center for disease control and prevention states that over 37.5% of adults are either overweight or obese leading to obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, some of the leading causes of preventable death (I have not yet found figures for children yet but will try my best)

And the majority of those people drink diet soda. It is fake sugar, fake ingredients, processed fats, etc. that are making people sick and obese.

If it was me i would just buy cases of soft drinks and take them with me.

Smaller cups of carbonated Bacon grease with various flavors

I'm gonna market it.... 16 oz cup of orange flavored, fizzy bacon greese...

5x the calories as a 32 oz soda in a 16 oz cup...

Having paid attention to what all is going on in New York with their ridculous banning of items the following can be stated:

So he decided to ban large drinks, how are they going to pay for it? Are they going to stop the people of New York, from getting on say a subway or driving out of town to the next state over, like say New Jersey and purchasing large sodas and then coming back into the city? Will there now be a division of the police department to monitor and follow through with ensuring that people don't consume this or that?

Think about it FINYPD, the Food Investigator division of the New York Police Department, with a measuring cup and testing to ensure that what you have in your cup is of a legal amount and size.

Something tells me that this man is not wanting to be in office for too much longer, rather using his position to push and pass these ridiculous bans are going to come back and affect him in the long run. Personally if I was in a city where that was occuring, I would orgainze a boycott, not of the office of the mayor, but of all of the places that the mayor does business till they decide to 86 him from their place of establishment. That means if he wanted to say eat out, demanding that they refuse him service, go to a movie, well lets just say can't have the public attend the same events. Eventually business would give way to public opinion and those who are spending money and start to say sorry to him and tell him to go elsewhere.
