    Maybe I’m just an insensitive jerk, but I think a soda tax is a perfectly fine idea. The taxes on cigarettes in New York turned several of my smoking friends into non-smokers.

    The best law–hands down–in NYC is the one that requires the calorie count posted on the menus of chain restaurants. Can’t tell you the number of times this information has informed my dining choices.
