Quit Complaining About Mayor Bloomberg’s Soda Ban, Fatsos [View all] baldguy Jun 2012 OP

My husband and I save money by sharing a large drink at the movies. pnwmom Jun 2012 #1

I bring my own bottled water bhikkhu Jun 2012 #13

It's a dumb idea because it won't effect YOU? randome Jun 2012 #19

The ban doesn't apply to non-sugar or diet drinks. So it shouldn't affect your sharing. Honeycombe8 Jun 2012 #46

Those are bad too bhikkhu Jun 2012 #55

Medical sources say that's not true. No insulin response like one for sugar. nt Honeycombe8 Jun 2012 #57

Other studies show it is true, thus the controversy. n/t bhikkhu Jun 2012 #61

Mayo Clinic says they don't affect blood sugar, tho other things in product may. Honeycombe8 Jun 2012 #68

some contrary sources: bhikkhu Jun 2012 #75

You misunderstand these studies. mathematic Jun 2012 #88

That post had better be sarcasm... lapislzi Jun 2012 #114

I don't think the author is going to persuade anybody whom he calls "fatsos" renate Jun 2012 #4

Word RedCappedBandit Jun 2012 #53

who cares....so buy two small Cokes instead one large one....n/t unkachuck Jun 2012 #36

That's likely to be nearly twice as expensive. RedCappedBandit Jun 2012 #54

Which makes the proposed ban a sort of tax. randome Jun 2012 #80

It is insensitive and cruel to call overweight people names. Are you perfect? 2nd..it's not "fat" Honeycombe8 Jun 2012 #47

I find these extreme reactions to the proposed ban kind of bizarre. Comrade Grumpy Jun 2012 #77

This became Libertarian Underground... jumptheshadow Jun 2012 #106

because the rationale for the ban is specious; thus the ban is specious & arbitrary. HiPointDem Jun 2012 #109
