In 2013, Mayor Bloomberg established the soda ban in New York City and it was restricted to 16 oz bottles. In the article “Three Cheers for the Nanny State” by Sarah Conly stated that the soda ban was needed to help people because we don’t always make the best decisions however, In “ Ban the Ban! By SidneyAnne stone she explains why we don’t need the government to restrict our options and control us in addition to “Soda’s a Problem but…” by Karin Klein she also states that the government should not be allowed to restrict our options on soda when there are far worst problems in the world the government needs to fix. Overall, Karin Klein's statement was much more reasonable saying that she believes that the government should not be able to control us and we believe that we can do things on our own but need options and they should not be able to strip our options away. Karin Klein believed it was unnecessary and stated herself “In restaurants and other establishments overseen by the city’s health inspectors, it would have been illegal to sell a serving of most sugary drinks that’s more than 16 oz. Then Klein later stated “A pizza restaurant would not be able to sell a 2-liter bottle of soda that would be shared among children at a birthday party.” This means it will make people spend double even …show more content…

bottle the government will soon or later try to take full control of what we can do or can’t do. Next reason was also stated by Stone “I have said it before and I'll say it again, once you allow the government to make choices on your behalf, it becomes a very slippery slope.” Klein is right, the government will always want control and they will slowly attempt to strip our rights and slowly take them

The New York State Court of Appeals ultimately made the right decision to block Bloomberg’s “soda ban”. There are some things that you can’t do, and there are some things that you aren’t allowed to do. The New York City Board of Health exceeded its regulatory authority by adopting the “Sugary Drinks Portion cap Rule”. “...The New York City Board of Health, in adopting

As the New York Mayor Michal Bloomberg is taking action against a soft drink industry. Mayor says that a ban is imposed on it because it has a big sugary drink.

One reason why I'm against the ban is the government shouldn't be the ones making decisions for us. For example, in "Ban the Ban" by SidneyAnne Stone, she stated that "People might think it is not important because it is just soda but it is so much more than that—it is about freedom and the

In my personal perspective, Henry Thoreau makes several valid points within his essay. The government gets its power from the people yet lately it goes above and beyond to control these same people. It invades our privacy, reading our emails and text messages, listening to our conversations, tracking our transactions, and placing cameras where they see fit. It taxes everything from their hard earned money to the property they own. It is even creating and manipulating laws solely for its own benefit.

Taxing Sugar Sweetened Beverages and the Resulting Effects on Obesity Margot Sanger-Katz’s article “Yes, Soda Taxes Seem to Cut Soda Drinking” in The New York Times is an interesting, albeit brief, cross-examination of different research on the effects that the implementation of taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) has on obesity and weight gain in the population. It provides brief examples assimilated together in an attempt to discuss a highly important current public health event that unfortunately comes across as a sloppy journalistic interpretation of significant scientific progress in the public health field. Though poorly executed, this article does start an important conversation: should public health policies exist that limit access to certain foods, especially if one of public health’s biggest issues is the lack of access to certain nutritious foods for low-income areas? Furthermore, does this “soda tax” actually decrease the amount of soda consumption? Although it appears that the author has missed the point, Sanger-Katz provides a link to an article in the New England Journal of Medicine that actually answers both of these questions magnificently and insists that though thirty-three

The soda ban, isn’t a voted decision, but more so a individually chosen decision that will not only affect the citizens of New York, but the businesses as well. Mayor Bloomberg runs the Board of Health; and who better to decide whether the ban is valid than the Board? As the Board makes the decision, it is also under the control of the Mayor. By obvious clues, Bloomberg executive makes his bias decision.

Secondly*, governments stress the importance of free will and self expression (such as the first amendment in the Constitution), yet* they are frequently the ones who take it away from citizens, resulting in negative government control. An example of this is shown in The Giver by Lois Lowry. The government, in the book, created “Sameness,” which made everything the same: color, climate, population, gender, houses, and so on. This took away self expression because the people weren’t allowed to make choices for themselves, but they had the choices made for them. For instance*, they could not wake up in the morning and choose between a blue shirt or a red shirt, because Sameness made every color the exact same.

¨Several critics questioned why the city was making proposal on sugary drinks a priority when some city schoolchildren have no physical education classes.¨ (Washington TImes) In New York, Mayor Bloomberg placed a law on the sizes of soda citizens are allowed to get. However, this caused a lot of controversy on whether the ban was good or bad. Despite the amount of people supporting the ban´s choice, the ban does have some downsides on it. It is not a good idea to limit the amount of a soda a person can purchase (or propose the ban) because it's not applying to all, it's taking rights away from people, and itś not a big deal.

The soda ban is a defective idea in itself because of the loopholes in the plan. As Karin Klien talks about the problem in her article “Sodas a Problem but…”, “Convenience stores such as 7-Eleven are overseen by State and would be exempt , but a Burger King across the street would be restricted” (Klien, 288). In addition, there isn’t a need for this soda ban because it makes no sense for a customer at a fast food restaurant (like Subway) to walk across the street and go to a 7-eleven, which is a state-ran store that has drinks that are over 16oz., and even over 64oz. People could even go to a grocery store and buy a 2-liter bottle of the sugary drink because it isn’t run by the city. Another way the soda ban contradicts itself is because of how you’d get the same amount of sugar if you were to drink a drink from a smoothie
