Banning of Sugary Drinks

Obesity has become a national problem in recent years. Because of obesity, the lifespan of American children of this generation may be shorter than their parents. Children learn about acceptable behavior by observing and copying their parents. In that case, they are healthy eating habits. Existing factors indicate that the main change is a sweet drink that caused a dramatic change in our health. For example, soda is particularly cheap, especially when purchasing them at time of sale. This is one of the reasons why the obesity rate is high and the possibility that low-income households will consume is high. Candied drinks mainly contain caffeine and chemical substances, which are harmful to the body. For this reason, the government can encourage them to limit their consumption - but does a candied drink really cause this problem? - Does the government have to take extreme actions to ban cups of beverages? Or - Is there a right to drink in the place you want? According to "New York Soft Drink Size Limit", the recent New York City 16 ounce Sugar Drink Act was passed. As of 12th March 2013, the eight members of the New York City Council approved a law prohibiting more than 16 ounces per drink. Mayor Michael Bloomberg supports this ban on bulk drinks. According to the law, selling sugar drinks at fast food restaurants, cinemas, stadiums and gas stations is prohibited.

In 2013, when Michael Bloomberg mayor in New York City tried (and failed) to ban large sugar drinks, he was still in the office in 2013. At about the same time, Berkeley California taxed sugar-coated beverages. San Francisco recently issued a warning label on sugar-added beverages. A total of 33 states taxed candied drinks. Obesity prevention advocacy group quickly compared the organization of the tobacco and drinking industry, said the American Beverage Association created its own science, and erroneously conveyed products that reminiscent of Big Tobacco's past efforts. Currently these supporters are trying to use a similar strategy to dramatically reduce the use of tobacco so that you can do the same in sugar.

The government has just proposed to change the American diet, which may confuse the industry as a whole.

Today should be the beginning of the ban on large sweet drinks in New York City. That rule is the idea of ​​Mayor Bloomberg and requests food service companies regulated by the New York City Health Department to stop selling over 16 ounces of sweet drinks. I created a previous blog post and voted for you to see your thoughts and I am very excited when I heard that the rules are passed and will come into effect today. There is a sense that people should be allowed to eat whatever they want. I heard that some people believe that government intervention and diet regulations infringe people 's freedom and privacy. What is missing from the discussion about sugar control is how individuals (parent - child - family - community) and economy (medical expenses, insurance) how the overdose of sugar foods affects the lives of others on an individual level .

New York City recently approved a ban on using more than 16 ounces of sugar drink at all restaurants, cinemas and stadiums to fight obesity. Some people praised the mayor of the city to solve important public health problems, as he ban smoking in restaurants in all cities. Others believe that the mayor restricts consumer choices and turns New York City into a "nanny nation". As long as it is not blocked by a judge, the prohibition on selling a number of candied drinks in containers over 16 ounces will be enforced on 12th March. Although the Health Committee's vote is the only regulatory approval needed to obtain a ban, the US soft drink industry strongly disagrees with this bill and this week will probably fight it in the court in another way I swear it.
