Better yet, just let Bloomy be the soda jerk ... no getting past that old evil eye. :)

Just don't get caught sipping a 20oz soda in the bike lane !

Premiums can be increased, just like they are for smokers.

Yes, that too. It's still a health risk.

Sumo wrestlers aside, Japan has fat people ?

... Exactly.

Kidding aside I'd imagine it would affect foreigners working over there more than the native population...

Yes they do. Popular excuse is "Western fast food", but that ain't the likely cause. They like passing all sorts of "obesity laws" over there despite their obesity rate (allegedly) being the second lowest on the planet.

You're not attacking the cause. It's the destruction of the family and subsidy of unhealthy food at the supermarket.

Something must be done about fatness.

And banning larger drink sizes isn't going to do it (one can still buy large drinks in the store and order refills at restaurants).

There is no solution to obesity. Human bodies and brains were simply not designed to live in the environment we now do. Only changing the environment can offer a solution, and perhaps that is Qnexa.

Because we all know that is the cause of every problem, right?

subsidy of unhealthy food at the supermarket.

Yes and no. Even if "healthier" food were to cost less, people would still buy junk because it simply tastes good.

You'd have to make "junk" food astronomically expensive to get people to stop buying it. Think of it like cigarettes...

I saw a guy walk into Del Taco last week with a mug that must have been 128 ounces. It looked insane, plus all he did was refill it and leave, which was probably theft.

Agreed. There should be a law restricting maximum beverage quantity based on skin pigmentation. They could install reference charts on the cups where you put your hand.

Yes, we've all figured it out long ago: Bloomberg always wanted NYC to be a better place... For him.

What's next? Is Bloomberg going to tell us that we can't eat fattening foods, or sugary sodas in our own homes? People can't seem to make their own decisions anymore, so let our nanny of a Mayor do that for them! Yeah, that'll help!

What a crock.

Exactly, sooner or later, everyone gets a permanent residence six feet under, or turned into ashes, so what drives Bloomberg to meddle in our everyday lives? Might as well move out of NYC, or wait until the next mayoral election! Oh, wait, maybe he'll buy yet another term in office...

On second thought, I don't see that happening. History can only repeat itself so many times.
