YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

"New York City's attempt to keep people from fattening up on sugary soft drinks, by banning some of them, would disproportionately hurt small, minority-owned businesses, according to the NAACP and the Hispanic Federation.

The two groups have filed a joint brief supporting a lawsuit by the American Beverage Association in which they say New York's unelected Board of Health overstepped its power in approving the ban the sale of sugary drinks bigger than 16 ounces in certain city venues."*

The NYC soda ban was designed to improve public health, but now minority business groups say they'll be the ones losing on the plan. John Iadarola (TYT University), Desi Doyen (The Green News Report) and Lissette Padilla (TheLip.TV) discuss.
