NEW YORK, March 11 (Reuters) – New York City said on Monday

it would appeal a state judge’s ruling that overturned a planned

ban on large sugary drinks one day before it had been scheduled

to take effect.

“We plan to appeal the decision as soon as possible, and we

are confident the Board of Health’s decision will ultimately be

upheld,” Michael Cardozo, lawyer with the city’s Corporation

Counsel, said in a statement.
