They are fat for sure.

The worst people are the ones that think diet soda will kill you but the regular stuff is okay

It's always fun when the people who are 70 lbs overweight tell you that putting a couple packets of splenda in your coffee is going to give you cancer and kill you while gorging down their half donut since they had one earlier already they won't eat a full one because they just started their new diet today. The one last week didn't last too long, almost as long as the one the week before that.

How about the people that order "super sized" value meals from McDonald's with a diet coke, thinking a diet coke will offset it?

That's a stupid argument.

It doesn't offset it. It's still better than a real coke.

Not drinking 300 calories of pure corn syrup is always better than drinking 300 calories of pure corn syrup. (I'm assuming they get a refill)

My point being, it makes little difference. It's like saying one person is in worst health smoking 2 packs a day vs a pack a day. That's true, but does it really matter? Smoking a pack a day is still going to fucking kill you.

Yeah. If they get a 1000 calorie meal....vs a 1300 calorie meal with a ton of sugar..... one is better than the other.


If you get a 500 calorie meal, vs an 800 calorie meal with a ton of sugar....it's the same fucking thing.

The healthiness of the meal is irrelevant to the soda.



If I eat one shitty meal today should I just give the fuck up and chow down 2 pizzas later?

Coke raising prices bad

Seattle taxing the shit out of Coke good

Now that I have a minute. I'm not a big sin tax guy. Be it tobacco, alcohol, or pop (ILTCIPIWILTD). They overwhelmingly tax the poor. I'm more of a gluttony tax guy. Tax the yatchs, Porsches and prostitutes.

Tobacco, alcohol, and pop create a net financial negative. People that consume this shit eat into health insurance costs and disability down the road. Taxing it helps offset some of these costs. When was the last time somebody went on disability because they bought a yacht or a Porsche?

When was the last time someone didn't smoke a cigarette, drink some tequila, or drink a pop cause the tax? Never.

Way to miss the point as usual
