First Lady Applauds NYC Plan To Ban Sugary Drinks

First lady Michelle Obama says banning big servings of sugary drinks isn�t anything she�d want to do at the federal level but she applauded New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Tuesday for proposing to do just that at city eateries.

It was a telling example of the fine line the first lady walks as she tries to improve America�s health and eating habits without provoking complaints that she�s telling people how to eat or raise their children.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Mrs. Obama said there�s no �one-size-fits-all� solution for the country�s health challenges. But she said she �applauds anyone who�s stepping up to think about what changes work in their communities,� and she�s citing New York as one example.
