Big sodas today; bagels with a schmeer tomorrow?

NEW YORK (AP) - 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 begs super-sized questions about government's role in shaping and restricting individual choices. What's next, a Twinkie purge?

[[The sad part is that some people here supported the “War on Smoking”..]]

And htese same people are most likely against Romney on the grounds that ‘he’s for big government’ Yet they supported ‘big goverment’ stepping in and suing tobacco companies? (and I’ll now assume htese same people support NY banning ‘big gulp’ sodas too?)

The complain that ‘smokers raise the insurance rates for everyone’ Yet these same people say absolutely nothign about the REAL cause of rising insurance rates- Lousy rotton trial lawyers!
