I don't want to live in a place that bans soda

63. maybe at the RW board you visit

but are there really people here who are silent/accepting of the right wing attack on women and their health care issues? I think we are generally pretty loudly against that.

I am more surprised so many seem to be accepting that a legal product with no other restrictions regarding age or consumption can just be arbitrarily limited because Bloomie feels like it.

I think this proposal will probably increase the number of plastic cups produced and the number of paper cups used thus increasing the overall adverse affects on the earth.

And I suspect that's just fine with Bloomie and his cup manufacturing and soda distributing friends.

There is NO question that soda is bad for you and more soda is worse for you than less soda.

I THOUGHT there was no question that I had the right to decide for myself how much, if any, soda I drank and I thought a legal company producing a legal product was allowed to determine what sells best for them.

BTW, I don't live in NY and I don't drink soda any more (my wife and I split water now but we used to split soda) so none of this affects me..yet...

I would welcome the eradication of soda if it was brought about because so many people got educated and decided to stop consuming it. But it would take some fucking gall for me to tell another free American how much he can have at one time.

Unless I was the guy selling the cups.
