From my blog at\u00a0 National Catholic Reporter<\/a> \u00a0 last week:<\/p>\n

And by this I mean to the movies. From Mayor Michael Bloomberg<\/a>\u2018s announcement about banning large-sized sodas from New York City last week, it seems he has not seen one since Morgan Spurlock\u2019s 2004 documentary \u201cSuper Size Me.\u201d In this film, Spurlock lived for a month on McDonald\u2019s fast food and took the super-size option whenever it was offered. It took him 14 months after the experiment to return to his former weight and cholesterol levels. (McDonald\u2019s later discontinued its \u201csuper-size\u201d program.)
\nMayor Bloomberg\u2019s idea is to regulate the size of sugary drinks as a way to fight obesity. The Internet is on fire with people outraged about government intrusion into their lives! On June 1, Matt Lauer, host of \u201cThe Today Show,\u201d seemed incredulous that the mayor would ban sodas and celebrate National Doughnut Day. The mayor stands for balance in food choices, one doughnut at a time.
\nBut these folks miss the point. If you are worried about government intrusion into your food and drink choices, you are too late. By lack of regulation, the government has chosen what you (and kids in school lunch programs) can eat anywhere in the country and called it all healthy. And sometimes, the government defines and approves what it calls food, but when citizens become aware of what \u201cit\u201d really is, they ask questions and work for \u2014 demand \u2014 change.
\nHere\u2019s the deal. If Mayor Bloomberg really wanted to fight the obesity epidemic, he needs to work to ban sugar, cane or high fructose corn syrup under any name from the entire food supply. This would be a good start. As my sister the nurse says, there is no research that proves or even demonstrates that sugar is essential to the human diet. (She says the same for wheat and soy.)<\/p>\n
