Keep Food Legal Rips NYC Soda Ban in Bloggingheads Appearance

In a recent appearance on the popular social-media debate site Bloggingheads, Keep Food Legal executive director Baylen Linnekin was critical of New York City's soda ban. The Bloggingheads video aired just hours before the city's unelected health department rubber stamped (in an 8-0 vote) Mayor Michael Bloomberg's ban on the sale of most sodas larger than 16 ounces in the city.

Watch Linnekin argue why the Ninth Amendment "presumption of liberty" (along with other portions of the Bill of Rights) affords equal protection to your right to eat a Big Mac, drink a giant soda, or eat a leafy green salad.
