The mayor said via Twitter that this plan ‘is the single biggest step any’ government has taken to attack obesity. The new regulation — which goes into effect in March — puts a 16-ounce limit on non-diet soda and sweetened teas ‘in fast-food joints, movie houses and Broadway theaters, workplace cafeterias and most other places selling prepared food.’ The mayor is set to announce a deal, later today, with managers of the new Barclays Center, who will adhere to the big-drink ban immediately, months ahead of the March enforcement.”
