Z, let's go back to Demolition Man, because apparently you didn't get the reference. There was a moment in the movie where Stallone's character was eating dinner, and he wanted to sprinkle some salt on his food. Sandra Bullock's character responded, "Salt is not good for you, hence it is illegal." It's meant to be absurd because the whole portrayal of the "Brave New World" future in the movie is supposed to be that way. But now we have NYC councilmen proposing that salt should be banned. That of course didn't get far, but the next best thing did, which is a ban on large sodas. Because you know, large sodas are not good for you, hence they are illegal. Tenchusatsu
