New York City plans to enact a far-reaching ban on the sale of large sodas and other sugary drinks at restaurants, movie theaters and street carts, in the most ambitious effort yet by the Bloomberg administration to combat rising obesity.
Soda is awesome at about mile 40 of a a 50-mile race. It replenishes everything an athlete has been using after 5-6hours of activity. Whenever I see someone buying soda I think 'good luck on your endurance event'.
i don't get it. if i want more than 16 oz of sugared soda, can't i just buy 2 of them? Am I missing something here? seems like New York is addressing the wrong issue here...kinda like asics and nike manufacturing thick shoes to provide more cushioning instead of teaching people to run properly. :)
