“ Its high time NYC'ers grow some and March on city hall to let Mayor Duneberg know he has overstepped his boundaries!! WE THE PEOPLE and not THE GOVT.

Enough is enough!!!! ”

“ I know most of us feel the mayor has no right to meddle with our food and beverage choices. We are adults, right? But we do make poor choices, especially about drinks. Sodas, particularly diet ones, don't properly hydrate the body. They induce weight gain - yes, even the diet ones! We don't drink enough water, Yidden. Do yourself and your children a favor. Google these two words: dehydration and depression. We all need water - just water. Not the water in soda nor in coffee or even juices. How much water do you need daily? Divide your weight by two. The answer is the number of ounces in just water your body needs daily. So a 140 lb person needs 70 ounces of water a day. A 200 lb person needs 100 oz/day. The mayor has some chochmah. Let's find the good in it. ”

“ Your water numbers are very high, and may harm. There have been deaths due to overdosing on water. You say a 200 lb man needs 100 ounces of water. That is over 12 glasses. Some articles recently have said that even the oft-recommended 8 glasses is too much.

When you are thirsty, drink water. If not, don't. Let your body be the guide. ”

“ Bloomberg will also implement fares for buses and subways that will be based on weight. The logic is that if it takes more fuel to transport a heavier person, that expense should be passed on to the consumer. Conversely, people who properly diet and exercise and therefore weigh less should pay less. ”
