New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg's new ban on large sodas just might be hard to swallow.
If Hizzoner has his way, any soft drink over 16 ounces will be outlawed across the city by March 2013.
He believes that banning the bubbles will combat obesity, diabetes, and other health problems plaguing the people of the Big Apple.
'Obesity is a nationwide problem, and all over the United States, public health officials are wringing their hands saying, "Oh, this is terrible,"' Mayor Bloomberg said to the New York Times.
'New York City is not about wringing your hands; it?s about doing something.'
