New York City bans large sugar-containing drinks

From page A7 | Leave Comment

EDITOR:

This is just another example of a stupid law inacted by stupid politicians of the nanny city/states. If I want more than the smaller drink, I guess I’ll just have to order two or more of the smaller drinks. I’ll bet that soon fast food will be offering two smaller drinks for the price of one of those large ones. So, then the nanny politicians will just need to write another law limiting the number of drinks a person can buy in one visit to the joint. Someone needs to let the nanny politicians around California know they will need to craft their law in a manner as to not let loop holes like this stand.
