soda ban/food police

I have been watching this on the news the last few weeks and I find it ridiculous that some mayor in "the most liberal of cities in america" has the nerve to try to ban large soda drinks.  First it was tobacco they were targeting now its the soda industry.  Both of which helped make this nation what it is.  I am glad to hear that the Soda Industry will Sue to Stop a Sales Ban on Big Drinks.  Plenty of people showed up to the 

Million Big Gulp March to protest.  But do people really need to have to protest these absurd things?  Sad thing is it will probably get passed now that the health board is onboard with the ban.  

Just like the man said, it is an infringement on our rights. Our right to choose, and our right to face the consequences of our actions.  If it makes someone happy to have a large drink, fucking let them have it.  

Yes, soda is a sugary drink and if people do not exercise then most likely they will be over weight, but 

they hold the fork, spoon and cup.  

Hope the Mayor will realize he has bigger responsibilities then policing what people eat and drink.
