| Mayor Bloomberg of NYC |
In
an attempt to make New York City healthier Mayor Bloomberg has decided
to ban the selling of any soft drink over 16 ounces. However, many
believe that regardless of the size ban many will instead purchase two
16 ounce drinks instead of their usual 20 ounce.
According to reports, "
The ban, which could take effect as soon as March, wouldn't apply to
diet sodas, fruit juices, dairy-based drinks or alcoholic beverages.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Wednesday that he "thinks it's what the
public wants the mayor to do."
So is this fair? Does this mean
there will be other regulations in the future on the size of pizza
slices for New Yorkers? Despite the push and desirability to be healthy
by Mayor Bloomberg the idea of government control over size and
portions is a bit tough for some Americans to swallow. It is very
likely that in the coming days there will be a number of ethical debates
about the mayors current decision on tewnty-four-hour news programs
such as C.N.N. and FOX NEWS.
