Surely smaller is better ?
I can already hear an outcry from a lot of men. Men who value themselves around the size of their cup ! But, rest assured men, its not that cup I am referring too...
From an outsider's point of view, this debate going on about how big the cup-size of soft drink served in a Restaurant is allowed to be, is slightly baffling.
Who can even drink such big portions of soft drink in one sitting ? If it's ice cold ( as it should be ) don't you then suffer from brain freeze ? Most importantly, where do you still find space for the foods that you ordered with it ? Oh, the mind baffles.
A limit to the size of cup sold is surely not an insurmountable problem. Should you want more, just order two cups. Easy.
By now, the health hazard of too much ( added ) sugar in our diet is not just some " health-nut's " far out claim. Most medical professionals are agreeing. Too much of it is bad for your health. Moderation is the key, as to all things in life.
This proposed ban on bigger sizes of soft drink being served in New York's Restaurants and eating places, is stirring up a lot of controversy. Yes, hardly anyone likes being told what to do and certainly not by law.
But if, as a society you have to share the burden of health care costs, wouldn't you want those costs to be minimized ?
If this ban doesn't go through I can just imagine, that in the future someone will sue the State for allowing those bigger size cups to be sold in the first place. Cries of: " We did not know any better and you should have made us aware of it ", will make the rounds.
What is that old saying....It is hard to please everyone !
