Drudge's headlines took me to an NYT article about Mayor Bloomberg banning soda's over 16 ounces. No ban on juice or lattes. Here are the facts:16 oz Coca Cola - 187 calories - BANNED!
16 oz cup, Coca Cola with 50% ice - 95 calories - BANNED!
16 oz Orange Juice - 180 calories - Allowed
16 oz Latte (2% milk) - 190 calories - Allowed
Two 8 oz Coca Cola's - 187 calories - Allowed

Explain how this makes sense if the purported reason for this Nanny State intervention is to combat obesity. The lowest calorie drink in the line up is banned.
