My God all he did was put a limit on excess..........you can't get 32 oz containers of soda. However, you still can get two 16 oz containers. How is that serious regulation? Like I told SilentZ, if nothing is too small for government to micromanage, you might as well get used to a flood of new regulations that will dictate more and more aspects of your everyday life. It wasn't long ago, by the way, that the city of New York tried to ban salty foods. That would KILL all of the Asian restaurants in the whole area. Ever see the movie "Demolition Man"? Ever see Red Dawn? That didn't happen either.

>It wasn't long ago, by the way, that the city of New York tried to ban salty foods. That would KILL all of the Asian restaurants in the whole area. It did not do anything of the sort. One dumbass assemblyman wanted to. He had no support. Bloomberg's administration did issue voluntary sodium reduction guidelines, and they were exactly that. Guidelines. Plenty of restaurants decided that it was good for business to pursue them. >Ever see the movie "Demolition Man"? It was a pretty entertaining movie, but it was just a movie. -Z
