Drinks Being Banned






              
                                                                          
                                                    

New York has indeed created a new ban for its citizens. This ban might be a little strange to us and believe me it is to me, but the ban is that restaurants, cafes, and concession can not sell a sugary drink over the limit of sixteen ounces.  This drink ban has been in the paper work since the spring, and the mayor of New York, Michael Bloomburg, finally got the law passed Thursday. The belief of this ban is to help decrease obesity in New York. If this actually works then the drinks and restaurant companies will try to pass this all over the Untied States.

The selling of sixteen ounce drinks is now illegal in New York, but how long will it take to be illegal all over the United States? The answer, not long. If this works the companies will start to push the ban on to other states, and most states will probably take the offer. One last thing, I have a question for the citizens of the United States, does this take away some of our rights as citizens of the United States of America?
