New York became the first city in the US to ban the sale of large sodas and sugary beverages in restaurants, a move that Mayor Michael Bloomberg said will help combat the "obesity epidemic" that kills 6,000 New Yorkers every year and is destroying the health of Americans.

A step in the right direction or an infringement by government on personal rights to make individual choices?

Or buy two smaller ones. Lol. There are a lot of eyes on this and it will be interesting to see what kind of results the ban has. Safe to say the soft drink manufacturers will be watching closely.

People will always do what they want. I think it should be people choice...just like it was my choice to have surgery and never have soda again.

Silly government control freaks think by banning large sodas they will change human nature. People who believe we are all sheep who need to be herded. If only obesity could be solved by banning certain foods or food sizes??? What about those of us who've been obese since childhood and way before super sized drinks? ? This is an over simplified response to a complicated problem.

Absolutely ridiculous, I have not had a soda in eight years or do I plan to, but what is next, limiting our red meat, limiting ice cream for kids, candy. How can they even realistically keep tabs on this?!? What happened to home of the free?!? This is not going to stopor even help people from making poor choices or being overweight, obese etc... Why don't they invest in educating people instead of this ridiculous attempt to control people!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
