Soda makes life worth living. No carbonation, forget it!!!

It seems that everything that people enjoy is somehow, magically, mysteriously BAD for you. OMG, the boogie man of "bad for you". I think control freaks are at the root of all this BS

Little noted that soda was first touted as a healthful alternative to alcoholic drinks in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. That is why, in old movies, we so often see 'soda fountains' located in pharmacies. It was purported to be a health elixir.

Also little noted that soda used to be made with cane sugar, but was replace with high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) due to price controls on sugar imposed by the US Congress, at the behest of the sugar industry.

Writer Tim Carney in his book The Big Ripoff notes that the one time President Clinton sent Monica out of the room was when taking a call from one of the Fanjul brothers (FL sugar moguls). Clinton would take calls from congress critters and world leaders while Monica remained in the room, doing her thing.

French fries and soda much worse than smoking cigarettes. Can we ban these or at least raise the age for eating fries and drinking soda to 21?

Some mechanics use COKE to clean corroded batteries....just sayin'...

Pour a small amount of Coca Cola over any corroded areas slowly. Add more Coke later if you need to increase the corrosion power. Wait for the Coke to bubble and eat away at the rust and corrosion. ... Pour some Coke over the battery connectors themselves if there is any corrosion present on them.

This myth that actual food is more expensive than junk food is actually part of the junk food conspiracy.

Whole foods are BY FAR much cheaper than junk (processed) food, both short term and long term, and not just in terms of purchase price.

The smell of french fries makes me nauseous and I'm quite tired of catching a wiff of that stench almost everywhere I go. I don’t think it's fair that I should be exposed to it. Something needs to be done. And I'm quite sure that the fumes are causing damage to my body.

IF what you eating is low calorie, you aren't really feeding yourself, you are just practicing digestion. Overwhelmingly, the reason we eat is to gain energy, i.e. Calories. EVERYTHING else is just a trifle. We eat for Calories. Without them, we flicker and die.

Quit spreading lies.
