SAY A BIG GOOD BYE TO BIG DRINKS

                               HEY NEW YORKERS, SAD OR HAPPY NEWS...

New York is banning 16 oz. soft drinks sold at stores, restaurants,  food carts, food stands at sporting events, and even theaters.They are doing this because most (two-thirds) of the U.S. are obese. The law also applies to sweetened teas, but not fruit juice, alcohol, or dairy drinks such as milk shakes.

You may think that all of this is bad news but think about it: 40% of the kids in elamentary or middle school in New York City are overweight.
