June 13, 2012 - The board hand-picked by Mayor Michael Bloomberg [of New York City] that must approve his ban of selling large sugar-filled drinks at restaurants might be looking at other targets.
The New York City Board of Health showed support for limiting sizes of sugary drinks at a Tuesday meeting in Queens. They agreed to start the process to formalize the large-drink ban by agreeing to start a six-week public comment period.
At the meeting, some of the members of board said they should be considering other limits on high-calorie foods.
One member, Bruce Vladeck, thinks limiting the sizes for movie theater popcorn should be considered.
"The popcorn isn't a whole lot better than the soda," Vladeck said.
Another board member thinks milk drinks should fall under the size limits.

I plan on taking my wife to lone star eating a big juicy new york strip. Followed by a movie with big drinks, and pop corn. Then top it off with ice cream on way home. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
That sounds like a great idea to me, Dale! Better do it while you still can! ;)
