Maspeth, NY 718-416-1656
New York City’s Board of Health has put a ban on the sale of large sugary drinks in restaurants and other venues around the city. Since this
new ban has been placed, it has stirred up much controversy.
The ban is being placed on regular soda, sweetened teas and
other sugary drinks. These types of drinks will be sold, however, not in a
container larger than 16 ounces.
The Board of Health and NYC made this decision as an effort
to help cut down on the obesity epidemic in our country. Mayor Bloomberg
commented on the ban saying, “This is the biggest step a city has taken to curb
obesity.”
