No More Large Drinks In NYC?

Is America becoming Communist?  Mayor Bloomberg of New Cork City wants to ban soft drinks or sweet drinks that are larger than 16 oz. to be sold in New York City.

Now I understand that there is an obesity problem in the US, but limiting the size of what drink you can buy?  Next will be only allowed to watch 2 hours of TV a day or only check Facebook 3 times per day? 

This is ridiculous.  Government regulation is good for some things, but when it interferes with peoples freedom of choice it kind of goes against everything this country was built on.

K.  Off my soapbox.  Comment below please :) You're only allowed 1 comment in a 24 hour period (kidding)
