He must have since he's now trying to ban sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces. What a figgin joke on so many levels. 1. What's to stop someone from just buying multiples? 2. Are sugary drinks really the only cause of weight gain? 3. Why not donuts? 4. The ultimate in hypocrisy. I guess having the right to control your own body is only acceptable when it comes to a fetus. After that, the government should have full control over what you ingest.
The messed up thing is if you bought a 16+oz drink, it always contains 10-12oz of ice, but you can still buy a 2 liter bottle of whatever and pound it down. Nanny state gone wild.
It has to be challenged as a discrimination case. There is no way a 66 inch tall mayor should be allowed to consume (or purchase) the same size drink as a 76 inch linebacker. Going by height-weight figures provided by a website, the 66 inch mayor should weigh 140 pounds and the 76 inch linebacker should weigh 190 pounds (ooh, that's a scary linebacker, no?) so the linebacker should get a 35% bigger drink than the mayor. Apply the same chart to the linebacker vs my 63 inch girlfriend, and say the 16 ounce drink is good for the linebacker, well, my thirsty girlfriend only gets a 10 ounce drink. And the mayor? A 12 ounce is too generous for his ideal weight, according to the chart.
Be careful, you're giving the regulators ideas. Now a weight scale and a height measure will be required in every establishment, and of course those will have to be inspected periodically to make sure that they're accurate...
