The mayor of New York has been known for being healthy so he agrees with the ban of soda in large cups. What is the big deal about this? Well, many people don't like the idea of soda being ban in large cups. They say it is taking one step to far. They think they should be able to decide what they drink. One man says he thinks, "it is a choice that is being taken away."
Some studies show that people are emotionally attached to soda, so it is harder for them to give it up then for others. This is another reason why it is a big deal to ban soda. Over half of the people opposed the idea.
Through all of this controversy some people just think it will take time to get used to and it won't be such a big deal then. They will found out in March 2013, when the ban is going to be put in effect, what it will be like.

That is smart, but so crazy. Looks like I'm not moving to New York
ReplyDeleteI think that this ban on soda is crazy. Although this may help with people's health in so many ways I still think that it is ridiculous!!!
ReplyDeleteThe ban seems silly, but this is very good for the health of people in New York. No one needs all that extra sugar in their diet. My family stopped drinking any type of soda a couple years ago and we don't miss them at all. There are so many other healthier choices. I don't think it will be a big deal once they make the change.
ReplyDeleteThe ban to me seems crazy, but I see the point in it. I'm glad people are making an effort to help the people of New York's health.
ReplyDeleteThis is really smart, I'm glad that New York is making an effort to have better health.
ReplyDeleteIt's really amazing how little things like this causes so much controversy
