Gentile won’t swallow soda ban
Weight Watchers is on Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s side in the soda wars, but Councilman Vincent Gentile (D-Bay Ridge) said he’s still not ready to gulp down the idea.
Gentile sent the mayor a letter on Aug. 27 to state his opposition to the mayor’s plan to ban restaurants from selling sugary sodas larger than 16 ounces.
On Sept. 5, one day after Bloomberg was joined at a City Hall press conference by a Weight Watchers leader endorsing the super-size soda ban, Gentile distributed his letter again to the news media.
