Ask Mike Bloomberg.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/...-overreach


Quote: New York lost its bid to ban oversize sodas in a ruling by the state’s highest court, ending for now the city’s efforts to revive a regulation struck down in legal attacks by beverage industry trade groups whose members include Coca-Cola Co.

New York’s Court of Appeals said in a 4-2 decision today that the city’s health board lacked authority to impose the ban, proposed by Michael Bloomberg when he was mayor, saying such policymaking is reserved for legislative bodies -- in this case, the New York City Council.
