The soda companies are probably responsible for more obesity in this country than any other companies. I quit soda about 6 months ago and that alone reduced most of my fat.
That said, it is not the business of government if we want to kill ourselves.
I’ve cut way back to almost none and feel better. Maybe some fat has receded. It has been a couple of weeks.

To the Syphilitic Progressive mind everyone’s business is THEIR business!
Aspartame - the ingredient in many diet colas, tea & lemonade is actually a poison and is thought to be one of the many causes of diabetes. The rate of diabetes in 1950 was .78% of population, today it is 11%. I believe the biggest culprit in this growth are the synthetic sugars (like aspartame) and the genetically modified foods, in addition to the additives in our bread and cereal as mandated by congress. These additives actually makes one gain weight and are not easily digestible by the body. Forecasts for the growth of diabetes are absolutely alarming - soon we’ll be into Black Death territory - its already a pandemic, just no one’s calling it that.
I agree. I’m very sensitive to sugar yet I crave it. When I’m on my A game and avoiding it not only do I feel better overall, but the arthritis pain in my feet disappears. I’m also prone to candida and that issue disappears. The weight loss isn’t bad either. We’ve actually switched to what I call a clean diet, which eliminates processed foods and focuses on whole foods and ingredients. We eat full fat dairy, homemade whole grain breads, nuts and seeds, etc.
As with your statement, I think that people should eat what they want regardless of what Big Gov recommends. It’s ironic that Big Gov insists on the right of a woman to “choose” to murder her child, yet tells that same woman what and how much of something to eat or drink.
Maybe, it still is none of the governments business.
The governments subsidies of the sugar industry are causing it, because it made soda companies switch to corn syrup.
I quit about 10 months ago after being diagnosed with Type II. Now I drink water with an occasional unsweet/diet iced tea.
I look back on that diagnosis as a blessing. I've dropped 30 lbs, changed my diet (Fuhrman's Eat to Live), more exercise. About a month ago, I went on vacation with my 11 YO son (mom stayed home), and came back with so many great memories.
The best memory was a day of canyoneering in Water Canyon, UT, near Zion NP. Our hike in was 2 1/2 miles with an elevation gain of over 1000 feet...damn near killed me (lol). On our way back, we rappelled 5 times, ranging from 40-90 feet.
My son wants to do it again next year, so I better stay in training. I'll add a stair-stepper to the mix.
Without the drastic change in lifestyle, I never would have attempted that adventure.
Orange Juice has a high sugar content 20g per 8 oz.Drink two 8oz 2 glasses, this will equal 40g of sugar equal or above soda.Do the tax payers really need to spend $$$$$$$$$$$$ of dollars for Michelle Obama,to jet around the country explaing the power of water? How about Michelle Obama,explain to us how did it reached the point of people buying water from stores ?Also her school lunch programs are complete failure.
