[QUOTE="texan, post: 978538, member: 38206"] [B]Is Bloomberg’s proposed ban on big sodas the carbonated camel’s nose under the tent? NEW YORK — Just how far would a government go to protect us from ourselves?In New York City — which already bans smoking in public parks in the name of public health and bars artificial trans fats from food served in restaurants — Mayor Michael Bloomberg now wants to stop sales of large sodas and other sugary drinks, in a bid to battle obesity. But in a country where fries have been equated with freedom, Bloomberg’s proposal raises super-sized questions about governm nt’s role in shaping and restricting individual choices. What’s next, a Twinkie purge? Is Bloomberg's proposed ban on big sodas the carbonated camel’s nose under the tent? - The Washington Post[/B] [/QUOTE]
