Big sodas can stay on the menu in the Big Apple after New York state’s highest court refused Thursday to reinstate the city’s first-of-its-kind size limit on sugary drinks.

from the curator:  It’s a sad situation when we’re more concerned with fixing symptoms instead of drafting solutions for true problems.  So, whether someone wants to pound a 64oz. Mountain Dew, or double-fist 32oz “smalls” – does it really matter?  And what problem is this fixing? The problem is actually the refined sugar causing unprecedented damage as it’s mainlined through our systems.  Damage that no one wants to tackle because of the underlying pressure that can and will quickly spill over causing a sticky mess for many “decision makers” involved.  Instead of focusing on a solution for change, we instead try to federate volume of consumption in a “single serving” without being concerned with regulating of how many servings a consumer can consume. As this foolish dance continues, the only true solution with this HFC problem, and so many more food consumption issues is accountability for one’s actions as an eater, and a regulator.  That is a big gulp no one seems to want to swallow…
