New York Soda Drinkers, REJOICE!
A judge has blocked that stupid large soda ban, you may now get your Big Gulps if you are in NYC.

There are SO many people who claim to have "tried everything", but never made a true effort to change themselves for the better. The negative perception of people who are obese is driven mostly (at least in my case) by a judgement of their personality. If you're fat and happy, then good for you, but I don't want to hear you whine about it if you're not making a concerted effort to do something about it. |

Likewise, I am 100% opposed to the soda ban. Too much of a slippery slope for my tastes, no pun intended. |

Congrats on your slow & steady progress getting back in shape. I understand what you are dealing with. I sit at a desk all damn day and I gain weight like nobody's business when I get lazy with exercise & diet. |

Not saying soda is a health elixir, but ANY food or drink in excess is not good. My God, could these elected pricks find something more beneficial to work on? What a waste of time and resources to enforce this crap. Health savings? Bullshit. Any cost savings are offset by the government waste to enforce the regulations. I want to make my own decisions, not let reeruned politicians make them for me. Politicians are at the same intellectual level as actors. One of the best feelings you have is when you can resist the temptation of a food you know is bad for you because YOU decided it was healthier not to eat/drink it. I want to have the freedom to make that choice and feel good about myself, not live in some Gulag/1984 society where some asshat limits my choices. How can you be happy when choices are made for you? Do you sheep love being controlled so much? People used to abhor "the man" interfering in their lives. Now they welcome it.

Why are there so many ridiculously fat people walking around eating shit, drinking soda, smoking cigarettes, etc? What is going on that makes so many people completely neglect themselves? |

Short term pleasure overrides rational thought about long term helath benefits. Until the pain of being obese becomes severe enough, it is not enough to get them to stop the bad behavior. Point is, this should be an individual choice, not the government. And all of the BS about health costs, don't be so easily swayed by government statistics. They have an agenda too. These are the same people that told us the world would end by cutting 2.5% from the budget.

It's not government statistics. The government isn't the sole source of statistics and information about rising health costs. That can be found from any independent source. And it's an overwhelmingly agreed fact that healthcare costs are drastically rising and will continue to do so until serious changes are made.
