NYC Health Board Bans Large Sodas

New York City's health board has decided to go ahead with Mayor Bloomberg's soda ban.

The new law bans sodas and sweetened teas larger than sixteen ounces.

Fast food, restaurants, movie and stage theaters, work and school cafeterias, and concessions will all be effected by the ban.


Grocery stores and convenience stores are not held under the ban.



Officials say that the ban is necessary to fight the growing number of people that are obese.

Opponents state that is just another form of government growing too large for it's own good and that it is a violation of people's right to choose for themselves.
