Take Another Hit Off the Bottle?

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg seems consumed a good deal more by his city's potables than its potholes.

The Mayor's most recent wagging finger has been directed at new NYC moms who would rather use formula than breast-feed. In order to try to steer them towards his preferred feeding plan, the Mayor wants hospitals to lock up the formula and dispense it only upon request -- and then only after a mandatory hectoring session arguing why the mothers are wrong. 

Rumors that the Mayor wants the same kind of size limitation on the container packaging that he wants for soft-drink packaging in restaurants and that he is seeking code enforcement volunteers to enforce those limits are, as yet, unfounded.
