NYC Sugar Drinks Ban

NYC Sugary Drinks Ban

If the government puts a band on the huge sugary drinks you can get at fast food restaurants, will America's obesity problem become less of an epidemic!? 

During this presentation, the class had the opportunity to debate regarding the sugary drink epidemic.  One side supported the band and thought it would greatly reduce the rate of obesity in our country.  The other side argued that regardless of the band or not, the large sugary drinks will find a way to the person if they want it.  The teachers used the O.R.E.O system.

Overall, the topic is extremely interesting.  Obesity is a HUGE problem in the United States. We have some of the worst issues regarding this topic and there are many questions debating what the right solution is.  Personally, I don't know how much this 'solution' will help the obesity problem we are facing.  Although it may help, I think if someone wants to consume a tremendous amount of soda, they will make it happen regardless of this annoyance that gets in their way.  Also, this is not the only concern when it comes to the obesity problem.  The government will have to do a lot more to help America and this issue.  

Very interesting debate!
