In favor of ban

I would like to applaud the Board of Health voting to ban sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces.

We are rapidly becoming a nation of fat, unfit and unhealthy people. Our mayor has called for this action and that, I feel, is a good thing. Mayor Michael Bloomberg cares enough for us to change that and for that I say, “Kudos Mike!”
