Last month, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg but a ban on extra-large sugary drinks. The ban was being placed in effort to reduce obesity in our country. Now, New York City is taking it one step further.

Mayor Bloomberg would also like to ban sugary and fatty foods in hospitals. This ban in hospital cafeterias would eliminate deep fryers, make salad options mandatory and allow only healthy snacks to be consumed.

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.”
