Good.
How many people have diabetes because of their Coca-Cola addiction? How many people are overweight and hate their bodies because of all of the non-nutritious sugars they have drank?
And they have the audacity to not only charge several dollars a pop for their sodas, but to also bottle water in the exact same plant and charge the exact same price for the water they have bottled that they do for their sodas.
Don't blame a soda company of you being fat and chugging 130 calories down 12 ounces at a time. Own up to your own shit. "This item tastes good. I blame it for ne being unhealthy because I won't stop eating/drinking too much of it"
In isolation that is true, but it's not a fair game. Own up to your own shit when They lobby against restrictions in schools to target children with their addictive substances. They have marketing budgets in the hundreds of millions to convince us one more won't hurt. They employ psychologists to come up with the most manipulative strategys.
It's not a level playing field.
