It was just overturned by a state supreme court judge. Get your facts straight before you inevitably get in a fight about it at a dinner party.
Today a NY State Supreme Court judge overturned NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg's proposed limit on selling large, sugary sodas.
The judge's name is MILTON TINGLING, in case you were wondering.

NYC plans to appeal the state judge's decision as soon as possible.
According to a statement today from the NYC Law Department.
In May 2012, Bloomberg proposed a 16-oz limit on the size of sugary beverages sold in food service establishments in an effort to curb obesity.
The department of health calls it a "portion cap" the media calls it a "soda ban." No other cities have anything like this.
