No law is ever made or passed without someone looking to make money.
So who looks to profit from this new law?

Everything is low fat because everyone assumes fat makes you fatter.
It's true if you're taking in a lot of carbs, the fat is stored and the carbs are used for an instant energy hit, unless you have too many of those, then they're also converted to fat.
If you cut down to next to no carbs, ketosis is triggered and your body starts to digest fat for energy, both stored and consumed fat.
- Meaning, eat as much fat as you want, cut sugars out all together.kalkal
- Cutting out carbs AND sugar is basically impossible in an urban environment or if you want to enjoy your lifebiusness
- I never said you'd enjoy it. It isn't impossible but it is very hard. You have to go out of your way to burn those carbs if you have any at all.kalkal
- have any at all, like, walk it off.kalkal
- Are we talking.....Exercise...
NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo...biusness

everytime someone say we should ban fast food/soft drink/ alcohol/ drugs/ etc
they should get the chance to experience it- I smoked for 15 years. My dad died of lung cancer. Ban that shit. How's that?TheBlueOne
- And ban these giant super drinks as well. No problem with it.TheBlueOne

Why do people call pop "soft drinks" or "soda"?
- I think there's only a few cities where it's called "pop" to be fair..Miguex
- it's regional

soft drinks are not hard liquor but refreshing mixes of ingredients (water, sweetener, flavor)
soda is from the soda water / carbonated water that is used as the main ingredient.

Soda vs. Pop by county
- that graph doesnt make any sense..
matboyslim - it doesalbums
- if in some areas 30-50% of people call it something other than the label it is under, that means that it its more popular in those areas to call it 'something else' - other than what it is labeled as. such as lighter yellow areas of arizona. why dont they make it a different color, or add a new color for what people call it there.. but whatever, right? who cares..matboyslim
- those areas to call it something else. such as the lighter yellow areas of arizona. that means that 'the most popular term used' is not actually the most popular term.. why dont they list what people actually call it there, or add a new color.. but who really cares, right..?matboyslim
- used' is not actually the most popular term.. why dont they list what people actually call it there, or add a new color.. but who really cares, right..?matboyslim
- who really cares, right..?matboyslim
- i will check for your rebuttal later..matboyslim
- Only liberals call it Soda?********
- People in the south call all soda COKE?********
- Liberal states are smarter.
Soda is correct. Soda refers to the carbonation. Coke is a fuckin brand you dumb hicks.randommail - and Pop? Is your state stuck in the 1950s?randommail
- i agree with the two previous notes.CanHasQBN
- that graph doesnt make any sense..

Why not just tax sugar instead of regulating size? Cigarettes, alcohol and gasoline become addictions/necessities to those who use them regularly and they are just taxed differently than other purchases....
Items with Xgrams of sugar are subject to X% sugar tax. And then they can adjust the tax slowly over time till we're all skinny or broke from the need for Pepsi and Lucky Charms.
- Would never happen. American corn farms (big industry) depend on those sugar sales.********

how about we just stop outlawing stupidity and make people smarter instead?
put that money into teaching kids how to eat properly and how to defend themselves against marketing tactics.
how about that?
- Teach people to defend themselves against marketing? Goodbye economy!********
- people will continue to buy things, they'll simply buy smarter. then people who sell things will produce smarter.scarabin
