re: #565 Gus

I think it involves far more than soda. There are issues of class, economics, education, earnings, family life, etc., that are involved here. A lot more than some feel good measure like limiting soda portion limits on the NYC population and its visitors. It’s not the diet as much as education and class stratification.

The ban won’t solve the obesity problem - but that’s the kind of standard I typically see from libertarians. It may help marginally to reduce caloric intake among groups that have high obesity rates.

Issues of class, economics, education, etc. will overlap with any attempt to address the obesity epidemic.

I don’t think the ban would have a large impact, but I am completely unconcerned about people having a harder time buying 32 oz sodas.
