This New York Times opinion agrees with the way Dave Granlund is trying to show his message, this article considers how the ban on soda would not have impact on the decisions of individuals. "customers can get around the ban by purchasing two drinks. " The author of the article wants to make understand that this regulation would be a bit absurd. "But too much nannying with a ban might well cause people to tune out." On the other hand in the cartoon we see that Dave Granlund project is humor, showing how the prohibition of soda, would not make any difference in the obesity crisis, people would buy a large soda instead of two, which would be equivalent to the largest .…
According to a this term life infographic, drinking soda can cause asthma from the sodium benzoate, heart disease from the high fructose levels, and kidney issues from phosphoric acid. It can also cause obesity, and “70% of cardiovascular disease is related to obesity. 30% of gallbladder disease is related to obesity.” It is clear that soda is leading to obesity, but strictly limiting soda will not end the obesity problem, because there are other drinks that are responsible. Passing the soda ban would be inconsequential, because a majority of the people that drink large amounts of soda are aware that it is unhealthy.…
Looking at the truthful studies, it’s sufficiently coherent that sugary drinks pose a threatening risk on the consumers health. “The scientific consensus today is that consuming too much sugar causes high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, heart disease, and obesity.” (Smith) Soda enterprises have tried to hide these consequences by blaming the entire weight of these health concerns like obesity and high blood pressure on fat filled foods. There is of course truth in fat heavy diets being a unhealthy decision but it doesn’t make soft drinks any more healthy. Due to the acknowledgement of raising health apprehension several regions have been trying to make the utilization of soda less appealing.…
The so called “soda ban” isn’t really a ban on soda, people can still easily and legally buy it. For those that don’t mind the health effects or really enjoy soda, they can still buy more, smaller sized beverages. But for most people, it would cause them to make healthier choices in life. Revisiting the article of Sarah Conly, it is written, “Giving up a little liberty is something we agree to when we agree to live in a democratic society that is governed by laws. The freedom to buy a really large soda, all in one cup, is something we stand to lose here.…
To start with, limiting how much soda a person can consume, enforces restrictions that violate a person’s daily life. According to Sidney Anne Stone, the author of the text ‘’Ban the Ban!’’ she says,’’ when you take away the option to order a soda over a certain size, you have now removed my options.’’ ( Stone, 287) To further explain, Stone shows that by constricting how much soda someone can have, it eliminates a person’s ability to control their life.…

If we don’t start making efforts to improve health in public schools, and the kids of today keep consuming the excessive amounts of soda and other garbage at the rate they do now, they’re going to pass down their unhealthy dieting habits to their children, just like the Baby Boomers and Generation X did to the current two generations to a lesser extent. We don’t want to ruin the health of future generations too, do we? At this rate, they’re already doomed. The final point I need to bring up is the fact that the idea of a soda machine in a school is entirely contradictory to the purpose of school to begin with.…
In conclusion sodas shouldn’t be allowed at school. Not in elementary school, middle school or high school, but mabe in college.

Should pop/soda be sold at school? Of course not, you may think otherwise but I stand up for my opinion. There are so many reasons why, you've probably heard most of the obvious effects such as risks of heart attacks, asthma and tooth decay. But there are worst effects that can cause death of a innocent baby such as the effect it can cause in your reproductive system. Soda can even develop depression !…

In the articles “Three Cheers for the Nanny State,” “Ban the Ban!,” and “Soda’s a Problem but…”, all three authors present their arguments with facts, opinions, and counterclaims. However, one article presents itself better than the rest. I believe that the article “Soda’s a Problem, but...” was the most convincing article. Sarah Conly- the author who wrote “Three Cheers for the Nanny State”- argues that the soda restriction is a good idea because people would be stopped from making foolish decisions that they’ll pretty definitely regret.…
The effects of diet soda and its contents are not something to take lightly. Addiction to diet soda can lead to extreme bone loss and many other life-threatening health conditions. It is vital to consume an appropriate amount of calcium and phosphorus every day in order to maintain a healthy bone structure and prevent bone loss. The ignorant idea that diet sodas are a health alternative to the regular soda is completely and utterly false. Instead of harming your body and its structure, take care of it by drinking water, the healthiest alternative…
The reason large soda cups should be banned is due to the fact that it is a very sugary drink, which is one reason for obesity. A 32oz cup of soda has about 104 grams of sugar, as mention by Casey Neistat in “Casey Neistat soda ban.” “Casey Neistat Soda Ban” is a video made by Neistat himself, which explains the amount of sugar, a certain size of cup has, and how many places are not affected by the soda ban. The large number of soda consumed may bring satisfaction for a short period of time, but in the long run, it leaves people suffering with health problems, such as diabetes, and…
The New York Soda Ban Obesity has become a serious issue and danger for our society’s health. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases’ National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 2009-2010, more than two in three adults are considered to be overweight or obese. But is this caused solely by the fact that we have become incontrollable consumers of everything or can there be a more complex reason? As the world develops, it is becoming faster, richer in choice of products, but at the same time poorer in terms of time.…
