    After soda ban proposal, NYC officials set sights on popcorn and milkshakes

    Welcome to New York...The nanny state that understands you are too stupid to take care of yourself.

    Watch out, moviegoers -- Nanny York City is taking aim at yet another of life's gluttonous pleasures.

    On the heels of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's call for a ban on jumbo-sized sodas and other sugary drinks, city officials are now considering restrictions on treats ranging from popcorn to milkshakes.

    At a meeting Tuesday, members of the New York City Board of Health expressed support for Bloomberg's proposal. They then started brainstorming other ways to cut the fat, according to MyFoxNY.com.

    Member Bruce Vladeck proposed limiting movie-theater popcorn containers.
    "The popcorn isn't a whole lot better than the soda," he said.

    Another member suggested limits for milkshakes and "milk-coffee beverages."

    The board, whose members were appointed by Bloomberg, will vote on the mayor's drink proposal -- but agreed to a six-week, public-comment period before taking a vote, according to MyFoxNY.com.
