On March 11, a judge blocked the Big Apple's proposed ban on sales of supersized soda. Even if the city's appeal fails, Mayor Bloomberg can take this stat as consolation: Only 13 cities have less of a problem with pop than NYC does, according to data we gathered on soda consumption and its consequences. If any town needs a soda cap, it's last-place Laredo, though that may be a tougher sell. "Texans tend to oppose government limits on what they can buy and consume," says Tracey Ledoux, Ph.D., R.D., an assistant professor at the University of Houston's Texas Obesity Research Center.
