How BIG our drinks have gotten! Courtesy, Mother Jones
Hooray! Seriously. This is a BIG step in the right direction. So they banned the sale of sugary drinks over 16oz, this includes pop, iced-tea and other calorie packed beverages. I mean lets be honest, 16oz is already a big enough drink. Now it has gotten right out of hand in the past few decades in the US (and to a less extend here in Canada) with drink portion sizes – some drinks you can buy are just humongous, so much so they won’t even fit in most cupholders! You just don’t need that much soda. You don’t. If you are that thirsty water is a better thirst quencher anyways (buy bottled water if need but, but a better option is a reusable water bottle ;-)
