Marc Scheineson was quoted in a Thomson Reuters News & Insight article discussing New York Mayor Bloomberg’s proposal to ban drink cups bigger than 16 ounces.
According to the article, beverage companies say consumers should have choices and analysts see the move as a potential hindrance to growth.
“Beverage companies have several arguments on which to base possible legal challenges, including that the ban would affect interstate commerce by impacting supplies such as soda syrup and cups,” Scheineson said.
“That argument could be outweighed by the city’s interest in public health,” he said.
