New York Soda Size Ruling - Politics Win Over Sound Health Policy
>> Sunday, April 7, 2013
In the midnight hour (literally), a restriction on sugary drink size that was about to go into effect in New York was struck down by a judge. Health care providers across the continent heaved a sigh of disappointment and sadness, as this move was widely viewed as a leadership step in making some important societal changes to help manage the obesity endemic.
The New England Journal of Medicine published an excellent editorial discussing the decision.
