As to banning supersized sodas, my fellow capitalist Mayor Bloomberg may not make everyone happy. (e.g. Bloomberg Soda Ban Wins Few Fans, But Fat Tax May Fare Better).
And judging from a convenience store I found in Cle Elum, Washington, a lot of people don't care either about diabetes or a capitalist pricing system:
Being a market-oriented shopper of course I bought the 32 oz which went along well with the gourmet, spicy "WOWsabi Trail Mix."
Why the same price for twice as much product? I have no idea. The merchant saw me take photos — I was laughing aloud — and we chatted a moment. He said that "It makes everyone happy: kids, parents, me." I didn't say anything about Mayor Bloomberg and public health officials.
The only thing I can figure about the pricing is either:
• the cost of the materials for either size (soda syrup, soda water, cup, general overhead etc) is so close as to make it not worthy of consideration; (but why not at 44 oz?);
• the price is a loss leader to get people in the door to buy other stuff;
• or some mixture of both.
In any case I gained by a huge, genuine laugh at living in gluttony nation, which was only reinforced by a traffic jam as I entered I-90, 85 miles from Seattle in the middle of cow country — beautiful but with no one there.

Being a soda addict , I think you are right that what the Mayor have done may really affect how people see him especially when it comes to the things that they like so much. Traffic, really give you the chance to appreciate things in your environment.
