Disney announced strict nutritional standards for foods advertised on its TV channels, radio stations and websites as well as at its theme parks, and New York City proposed a ban on all sugar-sweetened beverages larger than 16 oz. at most retailers, including restaurants and sports arenas. Otherwise liberal critics like Jon Stewart blasted the latter in particular as a confusing government overreach.
