What next???

I think it all boils down to personal choices. People have the ability to choose what and how much they eat or drink. Moderation is the key. JMO.

Catmom,

I've been trying to save you from yourself since I met you. I've finally come to realize that you just don't mess with perfection!!!

Personal choices and personal responsibility. It's not anyone else's fault but my own for eating fast food or going back for free refills. Placing the blame on the government or food industry is outrageous. On the same hand, the government shouldn't be responsible for putting restrictions or bans on my personal choices. Even if it's my "best interest", that is my decision to make. Too many people lack responsibility, though, and want to place blame elsewhere. That behavior disgusts me. If we, as a country, started making ourselves accountable for our own actions... We'd all be better off. I personally don't need the government or anyone else to tell me drinking sugary drinks is bad for me, but I guess some people do.

This reminds me of when certain cities banned/tried to ban happy meals from fast food industries to help the problem with childhood obesity.

Yes, I think the mayor has good intentions, but he is going about it the wrong way. Banning these large portion drinks is taking away New York City citizens the freedom to choose. And isn't that what America is about? Freedom?
