Athletes have had to follow their supervisor’s (coach) orders all their life, so wouldn’t it make sense that they follow the commands of their work supervisor? Steve Reinemund, former CEO of Pepsico, said that in his “30 years in the business world” he has discovered that “what an…

candy and junk food intakes. This law will do nothing but annoy the citizens of New York. Taking away large drinks from restaurants will majorly hurt restaurants and businesses that are known for their large, hard to hold drinks. Mc. Donalds, PepsiCo, and Coca-cola all see it as a discriminatory ban. That it will lower their businesses and build up others.
