New York Soda Ban Gets Fizzy

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, enjoying the freedom that only a final term in office can bring, has proposed banning the sale of soda and other sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces at restaurants, sports venues, delis and food carts, effective next March.

If you want your drink super-sized, you will have to buy two — or go back for a refill.

New Yorkers seemed mixed about the proposal. While some feel outraged, others are very supportive of Mayor Bloomberg’s ban. What’s your view? Do you feel Americans ought to be able to drink nine Mountain Dews a day if he or she wants to?
