“Soda makers, restaurateurs and other businesses sued Friday to try to block the city’s unprecedented move to restrict sales of super-sized, sugary drinks, an effort the city called a coup for public health but the businesses view as wrong-minded meddling. A spokesman for Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the regulation’s chief champion, called the lawsuit a groundless effort to stop a groundbreaking policy, noting that the city also won fights over outlawing smoking in bars and offices and forcing fast-food restaurants to list calorie counts on their menus.”
