They are only protecting their self interest from the ever increasing scrutiny of the leviathan state that wants to regulate everything.
Besides, they sell as much 1 and 0 calorie products as they do sugar sweetened beverages. As a matter of fact they sell almost no sugar sweetened drinks in America as our ridiculous sugar import tariff drives the price of sugar to the point that they use only corn syrup in their beverages. And it tastes like crap. Gives your mouth a nasty aftertaste and strange coating.
BRING BACK REAL CANE SUGAR IN OUR DRINKS!
The difference in taste is astounding.
