Big Gulp

There's a move afoot in New York City to ban the sale of soft drinks over 16 ounces.

Are you kidding me?  Is this the most important thing the people in NYC have to worry about?

Admittedly, all that sugar isn't good for you.  I drink diet, and it's filled with chemicals.  They can't be good, either.

Have we stopped people from buying cigarettes by the carton?  Have we stopped people from buying beer by the case?  It can be argued tobacco and alcohol have done more damage to the health of Americans than a visit to the corner mini mart for a cold soda.

If you've ever grabbed a big soda from a fast food restaurant, it's mostly ice, anyway.

There's no other way you can spin this.  It's just plain silly, and the whole idea was concocted by people with far too much time on their hands.

Have a cold drink, relax, and mind your own business.
