no size limit on soft drinks in New York

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City's crackdown on big, sugary sodas is staying on ice.
An appeals court ruled Tuesday that New York City's Board of Health exceeded its legal authority and acted unconstitutionally when it tried to put a size limit on soft drinks served in city restaurants.
The state Supreme Court Appellate Division panel upheld a lower court decision that had delayed the measure before it took effect in March.
The rule would stop many eateries from selling non-diet soda and other sugar-laden beverages in containers bigger than 16 ounces.
The beverage industry and other opponents say the measure is riddled with exceptions, unfair and ineffective.
The city's law department has promised an appeal.

You're right Butch...and that includes drugs. It is absolutely NOT the government's business, as you say. All our rights spring from the old British common law, and the main thrust of that are 1. Do what you say you'll do. And 2. Don't trespass on other people. When the people AND the government live by those rules, society prospers. When they don't society fails.
