     Mayor Bloomberg of New York City, issued a ban on all sugary sweet drinks being over 16 ounces. This ban includes drinks given in movie theaters, restaurants, side food stands, fast food joints, and game stadium/ auditoriums. However, the ban does not go in to grocery stores, so you can still be able to buy a two liter if wanted. Mayor Bloomberg is very certain that this ban will in an estimate 6 months prove to be abolishing obesity in NY's people; "it will save lives!" I think this ban will prove to be pretty useless in the long run, but it is a good idea. People will probably through fits and make scenes all because they want a bigger drink for their money, it didn't say anything about lowering the prices. So, its a good idea, but there are too many ways around it.
