Question

ban the ban: sodas a problem but... (with three cheers for the nanny state)
the author of \ban the ban\ claims that implementing the ban on large sodas is the beginning of a \very slippery slope.\ according to the author, where will this slippery slope lead?
○ new york will become a boring place to live.
○ obesity will become unmanageable in the united states.
○ people will be forced to eat unsalted and unbuttered popcorn at the movies.
○ the government will take away peoples freedoms, including freedom of speech.

Explanation:

The "slippery slope" argument here refers to the idea that a small initial restriction (banning large sodas) will lead to increasingly severe, overreaching restrictions. Among the options, the government expanding control to take away core freedoms like speech is the clearest example of this extreme, expanded overreach that the slippery slope warning implies.

Answer:

D. The government will take away people's freedoms, including freedom of speech.
