Sorry, but I think Bloomberg is on the correct side of that issue, even if he won't win in court. It's becoming increasingly clear that large quantities of sugar are a long-term poison. Since there's no practical use for soft drinks other than "They taste good" (which is a personal-happiness argument, but a particularly juvenile and narrow-minded one), large softdrinks should be banned. If arsenic salts tasted really good, and they were not already banned, would you oppose efforts to get restaurants to stop serving that? Just because a paternalistic state is usually bad doesn't mean that government shouldn't intervene in anything.
