NYC Big Soda Ban

NYC big soda ban proposed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the Health Dept. wants to decide what and how much New Yorkers drink.

If Bloomberg has his way, sugary drinks at restaurants, street carts and theaters will be outlawed. The sale of any sweetened drink larger than 16 fluid ounces would be prohibited at deli’s, fast-food chains and sports arenas.

Beverages sold in grocery or convenience stores would be exempt and the measure would not apply to alcohol, diet sodas, fruit juices and milkshakes.

Diet sodas and drinks usually contain aspartame, a substance far more dangerous than sugar and even high fructose corn syrup.

Studies prove aspartame in diet sodas cause severe neurologic, gastrointestinal and psychological problems.

But you don’t see Bloomberg ordering his Health Department to ban aspartame’s use, now do you?

 

 

Titanoboa Monster Snake Uncoiled

Titanoboa monster snake uncoiled in New York on March 22. Grand Central Station shocked New York City commuters with a monster 48 foot, 1.25 ton titanoboa snake.

The full scale replica of the world’s largest snake, Titan o Boa discovered in northern Colombia, was uncoiled to scare the daylights out of New Yorkers, ahead of the Smithsonian exhibition.

Start spreading the news, New York New York.

When alive, the titanoboa monster snake would be longer than a bus and weigh 2500 pounds.

The warmer the temperature of where the titanoboa lived, the larger the snake would grow to.

After the demise of the dinosaur 65 million years ago, the titanoboa may at one time have been the largest reptile roaming Earth.

It’s up to you, New York New York.
