Nanny Blomberg, failing to get legislation regulating suggary drinks got his Health Board to enact rules to limit drinks to less then 16 oz. That got challenged by a whole bevvy of liberal groups creating a situation where one almost wanted both sides to lose.
The stakes were a bit big though, and a consortium of groups consisting of grocers, teamsters, beverage distributers, and what not, threw a court challenge to this over stepping of the rule.
There is no doubt in my mind that consumption of large quantities of sodas will harm our health. That does not give any government the right to regulate it. If gangs of hoodlums were breaking into houses to get money to pay for it, I might feel a little diffrent.
The New York Court today handed Blomberg his ass. My only question is, "did they pull his head out of it first?"
