Brock praises Mayor Bloomberg on large soda bans in NYC… *two thumbs up*

8 Comments

So Mayor Bloomberg made the surprising announcement that he is planning to put a ban on soft drinks that are more than 16 ounces, just in NYC only. They’re putting a ban on that in restaurants, fast food joints, movie theaters, stadiums and arenas. Do I think it’s a good move? Absafuckinglutely!

Soda is evil. It’s not good for ya, and whether you like it or not, it is part of why obesity is a huge problem in America. Before I got into fitness & bodybuilding, I was pretty addicted to soda. Drank so much of it, and it does indeed make you fat. I had to give up soda completely. I haven’t touched any soda at all ever since I started bodybuilding.

Then of course, people on the internet are mad about this. They’re in facebook right now going, “Oh no, the gov’t is taking away our freedoms and rights. We should be able to drink all the soda we want to”. Boo Hoo… you know what? Mayor Bloomberg probably already knew that this move was going to upset a lot of people. Maybe that’s the whole point? It’ll teach people a lesson. Get them thinking first before drinking bad beverages or eating bad food, that they shouldn’t consume. Soda made me fat before I started bodybuilding.

Now that I gave up soda and most junk food, look at the change it got me. I am now more fit than ever before. I have muscle and decent visible abs. This is the goal that Mayor Bloomberg wants for everyone. He wants everyone to get healthy. Stop the junk food addiction and get fit, just like I did. Soda should be banned everywhere, not just NYC. Soda is poison.

Report: Gov. Paterson and Mayor Bloomberg wants the U.S. to take soda off of food stamps, it’s a good idea too!!!

In NYC, people with food stamps would not be able to buy soda, they must pay with regular cash for two years. Gov. David Paterson and Mayor Bloomberg are on a mission, that they want soda taken off of food stamps all over the U.S. They want the U.S. Department of Agriculture to take soda and sports drinks (that includes energy drinks too, I believe), excluded from eligibility of food stamps all across the U.S.

I’m no big fan of David Paterson, I hate that guy as well, but what he’s doing here is actually good. I agree with it too. Soda is part of responsibility with obesity. Before I started bodybuilding and fitness, I was a big time sodaholic. I used to drink soda every day. So I had to cut it out, stop eating and drinking so much crap, get into fitness and get healthy.

Gov. Paterson gets my respect for this one time. If he keeps doing good things such as this instead of being an asshole, maybe he’ll get my full support.

Not only they should take soda off of food stamps, they need to raise the prices. I don’t like soda anymore. Haven’t touched a soda in way over a year, and I’m proud of myself. Soda is poison.
