In reply to the discussion: Judge Blocks New York City\\\'s Limits on Big Sugary Drinks [View all]Scout
(8,625 posts)42. "But stop demanding your right to such excess."
i never did any such thing. and i did not argue for the right of everyone to stuff themselves with soda, and thus support big corporations at the expense of citizens, as you are trying to claim.
but this law was ridiculous as many have pointed out to you. limiting the sale of gigantic size pop at certain locations is really not going to help anything.
and just because the super-sizes are available does not mean people have to buy them.
are we being FORCED to super-size it?
get a grip, go take a walk. stop worrying so much about what other people eat and drink. because really, it's none of your business.

Bloomberg won. It got the nation talking, and MacDonalds has stopped selling supersize months ago

In the end, he wins, 100%. Many places already aren't serving super size.

You miss the point entirely. Most people don't go to the effort, therefore outta sight, outta mind

Your last paragraph is filled with so many false assumptions it invalidates your entire post.
