Mayor Bloomberg wants to ban sodas bigger than 16 ounces from being sold in New York City (with a few exceptions), and as the AP points out, he's likely to get his way considering he appoints everyone on the city's Board of Health. A sampling of reaction:
- Jim Treacher, Daily Caller: Just more nanny state nonsense, he writes. "What’s the point of being mayor if he can't exert his will on your personal choices arbitrarily? Face it, Bloomberg can run your life better than you can. And if you don’t like it, you can just move somewhere else."
