They've already decided that "they know what's best for you."

No, Bloomberg is proposing restricting the size of soda beverage a company may sell. There is no restriction on how much soda a person may drink, only that they may have to make the decision to go back for seconds, thirds, fourths.

Yeah - they are restricting the size of the soda to be sold, so that you as a consumer do not have the option of selecting a larger size.

It does matter for the "on the go purchase". If you wanted a nice big soda for a long car ride, to fit in one cupholder, to have one large amount of ice to keep it cold, and even carry it to your car with one hand, you don't have that option.
