8. the point is not the ban, but to think about what one is doing to their body

and NO someone driving 100 mph in a 55 mph zone cannot do what they want

48 ounce sodas are as wreckless as say voting for a third party candidate in a presidential election

imho feel free to disagree

the companies who want to overturn it in the courts, are the 1% who want to continue to sell junk
at what point does ones concern for the 1%/99% do you not realize that?

and saving $100000 on ones health care bill, buys alot of time
instead of frivioulous drinks

btw, drink diet soda
48 ounces is 6 x 130
so one is having 780 calories in a meal extra than not having it

stupid is wasting all those calories

I welcome a nanny state, because people can't control themselves

God Bless Mayor Mike-his mom lived to 102
the right living worked well for her
and she was alert and wonderful up to the end

you are what you eat after all
and we all live in the same universe

and the USA is the #1 most obese country in the world

going overseas, that is the first thing I noticed
