A state judge on Monday stopped Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration from banning New York City restaurants and other venues from selling large sugary drinks, a major defeat for the mayor who has made public a health initiatives a cornerstone of his tenure at City Hall.

The city is "enjoined and permanently restrained from implementing or enforcing the new regulations," New York Supreme Court Judge Milton Tingling decided Monday.

The regulations are "fraught with arbitrary and capricious consequences," the judge wrote. "The simple reading of the rule leads to the earlier acknowledged uneven enforcement even within a particular city block, much less the city as a whole….the loopholes in this rule effectively defeat the state purpose of the rule."

Thanks LTC! Believe it or not, that made my day.

Bloomberg is a simple-minded idiot.

To hell with these azzhats who think they have the right to dictate our freedom to chose. I certainly don't believe you should be drinking lots of soda pop but it isn't for his royal majesty to decide.

Funny Thread!

Think I'll celebrate with a 1.5 liter.

How come when it comes to this subject, suddenly no one is worried about stigmatizing people?

Bloomberg is worth 25 Billion. He can buy a lot of Big Gulps and have a personal 7-11 in his mansions.

...Michael R. Bloomberg, the billionaire mayor of New York, is certainly no everyman, jetting around the world in his own private plane and giving away hundreds of millions in charity. And when it comes to real estate, his tastes run to the positively baronial, especially with two of his properties — a town house on East 79th Street and one in Cadogan Square in London — and, perhaps soon, a $20 million Georgian mansion in Southampton, a 35-acre estate known as Ballyshear.

Throughout his tenure, the mayor has taken pains to protect his private life, refusing to divulge his weekend whereabouts, blocking aviation Web sites from tracking the movements of his private planes and swearing reporters to secrecy before granting access to his homes. Yet examples of the grandeur in which he lives had, until Monday, been in plain sight on the Web site of his longtime decorator, Jamie Drake, who is known for exuberance and has overseen rooms for Madonna as well as restorations at Gracie Mansion and City Hall...snipped

...Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling wrote in his opinion that the rules are "arbitrary and capricious," applying to only certain beverages and only certain stores.


Nothing about imposing on our rights. If he tweaksit some, they'll let it happen.

We're headed towards Big Brother telling us when, where, what and how much we can eat!

:thud:

ADD: Maybe how much we MUST consume.

Bloomberg has hard time swallowing judge’s decision to nix large soda ban
The ban on sugary drinks over 16 ounces at city-regulated eateries was supposed to take effect Tuesday. Bloomberg: ‘It wasn’t a setback for me. It’s a setback for the people who are dying.’


A defiant Mayor Bloomberg toasted an East Side restaurant that complied with his ban on large sodas despite a judge’s decision to dump it.
“It wasn't a setback for me. It's was a setback for the people who are dying," Bloomberg told dozens of reporters Tuesday at a Lucky’s Cafe on First Ave. at E. 34th St. “We just think that the judge was totally wrong.”...snipped

A lot of restaurants had already ordered thousands of smaller glasses and cups, so what else can they do? Lots of places are complying by default because they had to make a decision, and they are stuck with that decision for a while now.
