I rarely drink soda at all anymore but someone recently told me you can buy Mexican made Coke at Costco and it tastes better because it's made they way original Coke was made.
You assume a lot, you must not get out much and just talk to random people.
Really, you think so, eh?

Yes, I do see many thin and fit people around, now that you mention it. Overweight people, too, of course, but they still aren't the majority.
Most people, by the time they reach adulthood, have heard, from parents, in school, from reading, from watching media that sugar is bad for you. And if they didn't, and they can read, they will find out as adults that soda is bad for you because it contains sugar. It doesn't mean they'll stop drinking it. No one thinks drinking soda is healthy, even if that is their habit.

Of course they did. Fifty years ago was 1969. The Surgeon General warning on the side of every pack dates from 1964. That made it OFFICIAL, but it doesn't mean people didn't know smoking was bad for you before that. Some people didn't smoke because they figured it out just by watching what happened to the ones who did.

Might be news to some people. I don’t think we should be judging what threads are useful and which are not unless you can speak for the entire forum.
That's fine, and what do those people have to do with what I choose to do with my life?
