A state judge on Monday stopped Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration from banning the sale of large sugary drinks at New York City restaurants and other venues, a major defeat for a mayor who has made public-health initiatives a cornerstone of his tenure.
The city is "enjoined and permanently restrained from implementing or enforcing the new regulations," New York Supreme Court Judge Milton Tingling decided Monday.
The regulations are "fraught with arbitrary and capricious consequences," the judge wrote. "The simple reading of the rule leads to the earlier acknowledged uneven enforcement even within a particular city block, much less the city as a whole….the loopholes in this rule effectively defeat the state purpose of the rule."
In his ruling, Judge Tingling found the Board of Health's mission is to protect New Yorkers by providing regulations that prevent and protect against diseases. Those powers, he argued, don't include the authority to "limit or ban a legal item under the guise of 'controlling chronic disease.' "

Didn't someone complain that this ban discriminated against minorities, because they couldn't sell big sodas in the hood, to make a living, in their convenience stores and carts?
My favorite as a kids was a gas station that used to sell 44-oz fountain drinks for a quarter. I used to alway wonder how they could sell that much soda that cheap. Now, having seen a retail operation from the inside, I get it: The soda syrup was about to expire.
