Judge Strikes Down NYC Soda ban

I am sorry, but since I do not believe that there is some sort of fundamental right to sell or consume fattening amounts of soda, I think that the judge's analysis is wrong.  Under the rational basis test, the question is not the overbreadth or underbreadth of the law, it is whether the governing body could possibly and rationally find that this regulation might help the health, safety or morals of the public.

Might it help the public if I make it harder to drink 1,200 calories of soda from one container?  Yes.  End of inquiry.
