New York City is once again working on its campaign against soda.
As the country’s most populous city, New York has put itself at the forefront of a public health campaign to make its residents more aware of the ramifications of their food and soda consumption, from a regulation last year that forced chain restaurants to list calorie counts on their menus to banning trans fats in restaurant cooking. Now, the city wants New Yorkers to know that drinking a cold soda each day for a year “can make you ten pounds fatter,” leading to obesity and other health problems.
