People make their own choices and whatever choices they make they must live with. This article examined people’s choices and looked at if the government should be able to make laws on thing like the size of soda being sold in New York. If the government is putting a ban on a certain size of soda what are they preventing? A person can still buy the same amount of soda to drink they just have to buy more containers. People have control over themselves, but laws are written for the greater good. If did we did not write laws that affect the greater part of the population, there would be no base line for societal norms. People fussed about this law in New York because they were afraid what little laws like that could be put in place to further limit their freedom.
However there is the tendency in Human nature that we sometime don’t make the best choices for our benefit. Sometimes someone will be thirsty and if they have an option they may go for the bigger cup because they want to drink more. If you are to put a limit on the size that can be sold people cannot get as much soda which isn’t the best option for their health and that may cause them to either go smaller or drink something else such as water. These laws are in place to help people guide their common sense to make better choices. Some people may be upset about it but in the end you can still get just as much soda.
