NYC to ban the Big Gulp

You have got to be kidding me.  Is this the will of the people of NYC?  Really?  I can't imagine it is.  What the hell is wrong with these people?

The proposed ban would affect virtually the entire menu of popular sugary drinks found in delis, fast-food franchises and even sports arenas, from energy drinks to pre-sweetened iced teas. The sale of any cup or bottle of sweetened drink larger than 16 fluid ounces — about the size of a medium coffee, and smaller than a common soda bottle — would be prohibited under the first-in-the-nation plan, which could take effect as soon as next March.

They even made this handy chart...

Well...That's how they roll in NYC.  Out here in the Midwest, we don't cotton to that commie crap.
