NY Mayor Bloomberg Wants To Ban Soft Drinks Over 16 Ounces. Smart or Fart?

What should be banned is another term for Mayor Bloomberg the billionaire bunghole! This man has billions of dollars to do whatever makes him happy but he has nothing better to do than tell us how much sodapop we can purchase per container?!?!? He wants to limit the size of sodas per container to 16 ounces in certain places of business. What a foolish man! Maybe I should tell Mayor Bloomberg that having wealth beyond 16 billion dollars is clearly not healthy for the interests of society! Let's see how he'd answer to that!

what a joke...

Just wrong

sucks

Yet somehow these carts stay in business. Tell me, where do they go to the bathroom and wash their hands? The gov't needs to keep their NOSE out of MY PRIVATE life.

I don't want to say Bloomberg is a Douchebag, but Bloomberg is a Douchebag.

What idiot thought this up? Oh, yea a democrat. Need I say more?

If he was serious about the citizens' health, he would do something about the air quality in the City. Have you ever seen empty taxis constantly cruising, looking for fares, unnecessarily polluting the air?

If someone wants to drink soda, let them. It is there health and the gas bag should stay out of it. He makes me sick, sick, sick!! I think he is totally off his rocker.

It's actually a pretty smart, money-making conservative corporatist's idea. Raise the price on the new Lg. drinks, and sell more because many people don't limit themselves to just one 16 ounce drink. Another hell with the people- corporations' profits are what counts.

like much of his lying and stealing ideas which are fronts for pure graft,he is one of the greediest politicians in nyc history and thats saying alot when richie valcich exposed him for the true thief that he is it should have been enough to put him in jail,but the political machine in nyc is ever protective of the powers that be the more corrupt the greater the protection!No mayor in nyc has been publically tried since jimmy walker and this guy makes him look like richie cunnigham1

How stupid is this. Transparent Government where ?

New York should ban Mayor Bloomberg for being a ass.

Is Bloomberg going to limit the number of 16 oz. drinks a person can buy at a time? Just wait until the government starts telling you how many hours you can watch TV (or limit the stations available and/or broadcast times) so you get up and exercise.

they'll track us with wii's to make sure we're doing our stretches. lol

Sad, but I can actually see that possibly happening in the future!

He needs to back the f*&^ off. leave people the hell alone.

This is what happens when we start accepting more and more of the nanny state-one small step at a time now, until we don't have any real personal rights left!

Americans are greedy and self indulgent ,they should teach folks in school about the need for a balanced diet.

how about banning the toxic crap ingredients in it instead

Fat tax 'em... don't ban 'em. Let business sell what they choose and allow people to gorge, at a price, if they so choose.

Mayor Bloomberg is someone who has no respect for the Constitution, and revels totalitarian rule. The man is one of the greatest enemies to the Second Amendment of the 21st Century, and tries to pass that off as "sensible". There is nothing sensible about his position on the Second Amendment, or on much else, and the former should inform everybody about the later. A lot of people think the Second Amendment is some sort of antiquated joke, and that could not be further from the truth. The way a person views an individual's right to defend himself/herself is directly corollary to how that person views individual freedom in general. Mayor Bloomberg is a threat to individual freedom in general, he is part of the political slime that thinks government knows best, and there is nothing, and I mean nothing more un-American than that.

it is not a philisophical thing with him it is stickly graft,money and power,the usual standbys.Folks in nyc know that thes fake haelth laws are for the most part unenfoefoceable they are stically shakedowns for inspectors commisioners licensing people code enforcement and the police,no business can operate in nyc if it had to be 1005 legal the only ones who get cited for violations are the ones who dont pay off wise up!

But it is also philosophical with Bloomberg also.
He IS a big government guy.

thats the big lie,he is strickly a money guy

Has he made lots of money?
Yup, he has indeed.
But he has used his money to run for office, and he got elected.

His record over the past ten years shows abundant evidence that he likes the government to have power over what people can and can not do, and that is Big Government. He will not be in power forever, but giving the government power over people's lives, that can last forever.

Clearly, Overlord Bloomberg's policies on guns to salt to soft drinks have little or nothing to do with money, and have everything to do with nanny state policies to keep people safe from themselves. That is totalitarian, and that is unAmerican.

you have to remember ny has always beem a great down for organized corruption,the police firemen transit workers garbage men code enforcement,social service and hospital personnel from commissioners doen to methodone treatment centers are ALL on the take it has always been that way in nyc always fixed bidding ,construction private sanitayion,the docks the unions etcercetcetc,i think to help you understand you should read about what agrear civul servant one of the few honest ines said about mayor bloomberg and just how simple itwas to defraude the nyc taxpayers out of tens of millions of dollars,his name is mr richard valcichformer nyc administrator,check it out the payrool scadal alone netting bloomberg millions,i think with all due respect that you are ababe in the woods when it comes to corruption nyc wrote the book.The new health laws reegarding soft drinks,salt and happy hours are nothing more then another shakedown,if you live in nyc ask local restaurant owners about tickects and payoffs,if not read up on richard valcich please,then and only then get back to me.HAVE ADAY OF CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD AROUND YOU AND REMEMBER MONET MAKES THE WORLD GO AROUND POWER IS A CLOSE SECOND PHILOSOPHY IS WAY UP THE TRACK!

You comment on how corrupt NYC is, an then block me?
Seriously?
LOL
I would have agreed with you.

Nanny Bloomberg is a psychotic control freak.

What a frickin idiot.

Will Kool-Aid still be okay?

Only for liberals!

Ban Mayor Bloomberg!

Bloomberg the billionaire is an elitist that believes he knows better than the rest of us. I'd like to see the businesses ignore the ban and take him to court. Prick.

The man is a Hitler.

lol That's ridicules

L'll drink to that! Make mine a 32oz.

A damn Rino at best!
