This issue is telling with regard to the hypocrisy of the right.
On this very forum, for example, post after post, rightists whine and bemoan the excess and overreach of the Federal government and its failure to respect the wishes of local communities, that jurisdictions should be allowed to enact laws and policies that reflect their local values.
It would seem conservatives dont believe in affording that privilege to the people of New York; local communities should be allowed to enact laws and policies only when conservative values are at issue.

The Soviets didn't have enough commodities to 'ban' items in any case. The lack of knowledge of even 20th century history by the hate brigade is astounding.

Actually conservative ignorance of most things is not at all surprising.
Otherwise rightists maintain the double-standard: conservatives are allowed to codify ‘local values,’ liberals, not.
Nanny Bloomberg banning large sodas in New York. This is so over the top, it reminds me of what we thought of Soviet Union in the 60's

At Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s press conference touting his efforts to stop the sale of large soft drinks in restaurants, one reporter in attendance brought up the interesting fact that his administration also supporting “National Donut Day” Friday and inquired as to whether that muddled the mayor’s message on the issue.
Indeed, at 9:30 a.m. Friday morning, Entenmann’s will be unveiling “Custom-made Entenmann’s large donuts, 1-foot in diameter” at Madison Square Park at the same time they unveil a “Proclamation Letter by Mayor Michael Bloomberg.”

If Coke and Pepsi had any balls they'd team up, pull all of their product out of Nanny You City together, and wait...
It wouldn't take long for minds to change.
Are bacon-cheeseburgers next? As a practical matter, no. Sodas are an easy target because there is nothing, nothing, nutritionally redeeming about them. But might there come a day when the New York City Department of Health mandates that burgers be limited to, say, four ounces? Indeed there might. And why not? Eight- and ten-ounce burgers are sick things.

I'm afraid this is just the beginning. Soon there will be a restriction on weight of cream cheese on your bagel. The nanny state will be in full bloom by the next generation.
