Yep, and all our pop now tastes like ass with the vile sweeteners so fewer people drink it.

Drink water.

The choice between sugar and aspartame is the choice between diabetes and cancer.

Just give it up. Pop ain’t worth it.

Fuck this, people should be able to drink soda if they want to. We’re on a dying planet, this just penalizes poor people and takes away their choices. Let people have a moment of pleasure. You can drink soda and drink water.

You argue as if water was more expensive than soda.
You’re not understanding the argument.
