New York Bans Sales of 32 Oz Big Gulps

Mayor Bloomberg has decided that New Yorkers - who are comprised of people who have immigrated from practically every other country there is - are too fat.

Too combat this, he's going to ban the sale of 32 oz cups of pop.

Which will enrich the city's coffers because folks who want to drink 32 oz cups of pop at one sitting are still going to do so - they'll just buy two 16 oz cups.

It may well be a stupid thing for someone to drink 32 oz of pop at a time - and I'd be willing to bet that it's mostly guys who do it! - but does the government really have the right to ban their sale?

Alcohol has calories too, you know! I hope they ban the sale of those gigantic beer and wine bottles.

Yes - everything in moderation is the key to weight loss, but should that moderation be forced on people?
