Indeed. Will we see 'Soda Wars' and Speak Easies for Soda, as I am sure there are 'Grease Easies' right now for banned Trans Fats in NYC?
When will the madness ever end?
I don't know, The T. People change over time. Giuliani halted crime in NYC on his watch and did some budget control to help pay salaries of city employees, but by the end of his term, his family life was wrecked, but problematic murders on the street were down over 70%, the pressure must be tremendous to someone who takes balancing the books and justice in society seriously.
Soda is another story. If people drink a lot of it, they run a risk of cancer, because carbonated water flushes out potassium, and if everyone replaced their potassium levels with a banana every time a soda pop took K out, they wouldn't be able to make it through the door. Maybe if they told people "Hey, too much pop will give ya a stint instead of a butt," people would choose to cut down on the pop independently.
Make it a law, and it will go over like prohibition. Education is the key to getting people to take better care of themselves, not footshoot laws.
