Officials push New York sugary drink limit at hearing
New York City health officials and medical experts urged a 16 ounce cap on soft drink servings, arguing it shields public health and childhood obesity. Opponents derided the plan as government overreach and questioned scientific support while trade groups warned of impacts on small businesses. The Board of Health will vote on September 13, with possible lawsuits or legislative action to block the measure.
