Mayor Bloomberg go fuck yourself



Quote:
A judge Monday overturned Mayor Bloomberg's controversial ban on large sugary soda, one day before the regulation was to take effect.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling Jr. declared the ban ?arbitrary and capricious,? agreeing with several soda and business groups that had challenged the prohibition in court.

The ruling was a stinging setback for the mayor, whose administration enacted the regulation in the face of criticism that he was turning the city into a ?nanny state.?

The Bloomberg-backed city Board of Health approved the regulation last year, calling it a crucial tool to attack obesity. The rule forbid restaurants and certain other businesses from serving sugary sodas larger than 16 ounces.

In striking down the regulation, Tingling noted that the rule would have applied to all food-serving businesses regulated by the city, such as restaurants and movie theaters ? but not to state-regulated establishments, like 7-11 convenience stories.

?The loopholes in this rule effectively defeat the stated purpose of the rule. It is arbitrary and capricious because it applies to some but not all food establishments in the city? and because it applies to some sugary drinks but exempts others, the judge said.
