New York City passed the first U.S. ban of oversized sugary drinks on Thursday in its latest controversial step to reduce obesity and its deadly complications in a nation with a weight problem. (Reuters)

Seems a bit 1984 to me? Is this really going to reduce obesity? If the ultimate goal is to reduce the burden on our healthcare system, wouldn't education and support help people more.  In November, we will be launching our iCAN program at Northfield. Our goal is to educate and motivate people within our community to adopt a healthier, more active lifestyle. Temptations will always be around us. The goal is to try to make better choices.. most of the time.
