Many Americans have something of a love affair with fizzy drinks - soda. But fizzy drinks can make you fat - we're told - and America has an obesity problem. In New York they've been trying to bring in a law restricting the sale of soda. It was due to come in on Tuesday and stipulated that no restaurant would be allowed to sell drinks larger than 16 ounces - that's more than three quarters of a pint. But it's not going to happen. A judge has thrown it out. Caroline Levy is a beverage analyst at Credit Agricole in New York and I put it to her that the drinks industry was not taking this attempted control lying down.
Oh my gosh. The drinks industry is fighting tooth and nail for their rights. And it is, in fairness, unusual that any one food or beverage type would be singled out 'cause there're lots of foods and beverages that have sugar in them. I guess what Bloomberg was targeting was some of these supersized drinks that go hand in hand with so-called value meals and so on.
Who on earth drinks more than 16 ounces in one go of a sugary drink?
Well, fair to say, people do. You know, we joke that you need a supermarket cart just to go to the movies because you got to put your giant popcorn and your giant soda in there.很多美国人格外偏爱嘶嘶冒泡的饮品——碳酸饮料。但是我们都知道碳酸饮料容易使人发胖，而且美国的肥胖问题很严重。所以纽约一直努力要立法限制碳酸饮料的销售。本来周二相关法规就可以生效了，其中明文规定了禁止任何餐馆销售大于16盎司包装的碳酸饮料，这比3/4品脱都要多，可最终还是被某法官驳回。卡罗琳·利维是法国农业信贷银行纽约支行的饮料市场分析员。我向她说起饮料行业是不会因为这次差点立法成功就倒下认输的。
哦天哪。饮料行业简直是拼了命也要捍卫他们的权利。某些食品或饮料因为含糖就要被差别对待，公平来讲这很不正常，因为含糖的食品和饮料多了去了。我猜纽约市长布隆伯格是想把目标指向那些所谓超值套餐之类里的超大杯饮料。
谁会一次喝掉超过16盎司软饮料啊？
你还别说，真有人能喝这么多。你要知道，我们会开玩笑说看电影都要拿个超市购物车才装得下你的超大号爆米花和超大号碳酸饮料。 |
