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." View Quote 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." |

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. |

Yeah, because drinking soda is what makes people fat, not the 10 pound serving of ice cream and birthday cake they crammed down their fuck hole right before they drank it.

Kind of surprised that nobody has suggested banning the sale of energy drinks to people under 21.

It's funny until some cop chokes out a fat kid on the street for illegal soda drinking.

I can see it now. There will be a department of soda control and soda agents that will take kids around to shops where they will try to buy larger sodas without ID so they can bust the sellers. Think of all the new lawyers, cops and judges that will now be able to find gainful employment. |

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.
