soda tax

     Recently mayor Bloomberg, the mayor of New York City proposed a ban on the sale of soda cups larger than 12 oz. to combat the obesity epidemic. While I think it is admirable that mayor Bloomberg is concerned with the obesity epidemic, I am not sure that his limiting portion sizes At movie theaters or imposing a per ounce soda tax will help peel off the pounds. The desire to be thin must come from within. It can't really be federally mandated.
