No Way

There is just no way that people would find a way to circumvent Heir Bloomberg and his larger than 16 oz soda ban in a way such that not only do they get around his ridiculously stupid large soda ban, but in such a way that exacerbates the reason he supposedly instituted such a ban. The Daily Mail:

Mayor Michael Bloomberg has more than just a legal fight against his soda ban now because a new study reports that Americans tend to drink even more soda when they are forced to buy smaller sizes.

The thinking behind the proposed ban in New York asserts that by limiting the size of fountain soda cups, people will drink less of the sugary substances, and maintain a healthier lifestyle in doing so.

A new study published by the Public Library of Science refutes that, however, saying that by restrictions on large servings caused consumers to buy more of the smaller options.

I’ve long argued that Bloomberg’s ban on large sodas has nothing to do with the health of the residents and visitors of New York City, but to force people to buy more, smaller sized drinks as a means to extort more tax revenue.
