http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20150827/st-george/war-on-big-sodas-relaunched-with-bill-ban-sale-minors





Staten Island Assemblyman Matthew Titone,
a Democrat, announced a package of bills on Wednesday that include the
ban on children younger than 18-years-old buying sodas bigger than 16
ounces.





"Why on earth would we want to give that to our child?" said Titone. "We
need to stop thinking about obscene quantities of sugary soft drinks as
a G rated movie but as an R rated movie."






"We want to educate you, we want to encourage you and we want to inspire you."

I'm really trying to take a fair, balanced approach to this, but we
could no longer ignore it," he said. "It really is time to get together
and start treating sugar for what it is, a highly addicting, unhealthy
ingredient."

It's just common sense drink regulation.

To be fair, soda probably kills more kids than weed has.... or even guns for that matter.

It's probably 1/2 hyperbole, but I've never known anyone to die from weed.



Can't say the same about diabetes.

I know people that have smoked or used tobacco their entire life and didn't have cancer when passing.
I know plenty of healthy people to include kids that enjoy a soda that do not have diabetes. Soda is not the only foodstuff that may trigger diabetes.
It's just fucked up, then also ban candy bars, twinkies, sugared cereal and or artificial foods in general.
But, comparing a simple soda to a mind altering drug is a bit over the top.

Liberals are obsessed with control. The more they have, the more they want. At some point you start getting laws like this, which shows they are running out of things to control, and are having to reach further and further into the private lives of their serfs for new ground. Places like New York and California will continue to get worse due to their supermajority liberal leadership.
