Get rid of Super-Sizing and next it will be free refills. And then the hot fruit pies. And then the fries. There will always be people who do not eat right, do not exercise, and over-eat like hogs. Fill there faces with tons of potatoes and breads every day of their life but Bloomberg worries that now and then they might have a Big Gulp? Being FAT is a LIFESTYLE.
I have drank coke everyday of my life for the last 55 years and I weigh 125 lbs. What I do not do is eat pies, cakes, cookies, potato chips or eat like a hog. I eat NOTHING low-sugar or salt-free. I want my food to taste like food, not cardboard. But what is next that is considered bad for us? How about Bloomberg ban bakeries? Clear store shelves of all cookies and pies and ban wedding cakes and potato chips.
There is many thing Bloomberg could do to help his city. This is not one of them.
Bloomberg's control obsession has mutated beyond the realm of hysterical. According to a report this afternoon, during the taping of his appearance on The Maury Povich Show, Michael Bloomberg told the host that women who refuse to breastfeed in NYC hospitals could face jail time. http://www.thedailyrash.com/mayor-bloombergs-impassioned-crusade-for-mandatory-breastfeeding
This is probably the most beneficial thing Mayor Bloomberg has done for New York City. Why? Because currently, obesity rates in New York City is approaching 50%. This is not "restricting peoples' rights", its simply saving lives, saving people from themselves.
Are you for real? "Not restricting people's rights"???? It took me about two seconds to decide that if I am in NYC I will get two medium or large sodas instead of the super-large. This law does NOTHING to save lives or people's health. If I have to, I'll bring my 64 oz cooler and fill it up! If they outlaw half-pound burgers too? ...I'll get two quarter pounders! Who are these moron legislators wasting our tax dollars on stuff like this????
You directly contradict yourself by calling Mayor Bloomberg a "socialist dictator" because Socialism is, in a nutshell, a democracy. It is the opposite of Capitalism, if you know what that even means you retarded idiot.
"Socialism in a nutshell is a Democracy"? WOW! Are you serious? No wonder this country is in such trouble! You need to go back to high school and learn the differences! And BTW.... we in the USA are a Republic, not a Democracy....

DO YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THIS TOOL HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH HIS TIME. WHAT ABOUT ALL THE PIZZA'S AND CHIPS AND HOAGIES, CHEESE STEAKS,DOUGHNUTS, CANDY THESE PEOPLE ARE STUFFING AWAY,LET PEOPLE LIVE THERE LIVES LIKE THEY WANT TO. HEY BLOOMBERG "MONEY BAGS" HOW ABOUT FIXIN' THE ROADS IN THE CITY , THAT'S A GOOD START, YOU DICK.
I don't think Bloomberg has any business pushing this law through. It's just a way to make an easy buck tor the city. Well you don't mind people stuffing their faces like pigs with hotdogs in your stupid disgusting contest though. Come on Mr. Mayor do something that really helps your city.
Now he wants to say you cannot SELL a super sized soda... what's next? It's criminal to possess one? And what if I have two large sodas? Legal or illegal? I can't believe New Yorkers are putting up with this garbage! OMG!
this is just another way for the government to dictate to us on what we can or cannot do we don't have people in the government working for us they work for oil and insurance they are starting to dictate what we do evey day
Jeezaloo, what kind of communist is he anyways? Does that idiot really think that he's going to solve the fat issues of NYC by taking away their large sodas?? What an f'ing moron he is.
