hello
I need help with answering this qustion Can healthy choices be legislated? Public health authorities would like to influence health behaviors by banning or taxing unhealthy foods or ingredients. However, industries and many concerned citizens oppose the expanding reach of the government. This struggle gained national attention in the summer of 2014. Mounting evidence for the link between consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and obesity had prompted the proposal of a ban on the sale of sugary drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces in some establishments. With the backing of then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg, this ban was approved by the New York City Board of Health and would have taken effect in 2013. However, the beverage industry staunchly opposed the ban and the New York Supreme Court invalidated the law. In June 2014, the New York Court of Appeals ruled that this ban over-reached the health departments regulatory authority. (Wardlaw, Smith, Collene, 2016)
