Just wait until the sodas and junk food is removed from SNAP. Headlines will be disaster for junk food industry. NOT! As kids we collected pop bottles for our candy money a nickle a bottle. Served 3 purposes, got them off the street and provided poor kids with a candy bar for which the store made a profit.
I don’t drink sodas, they damage your GI tract and cause diabetes with all that sugar and other chemicals.
I don’t drink sugar drinks either. My tea and coffee is straight black and strong.
If I want cookies I bake them from scratch. Less chems in them. Get about 3 dozen vs 12 cookies. And dough can be froze for later use if you don’t want that many.
Buggy whips went out of production when cars were invented.
I gave up drinking soda five years ago for health reasons.
I feel it was the right decision. As a nation we drink WAY too much of it. Start adding up the calories and sugar and it’s a real eye-opener.
I am not a fan of the nanny state FORCING people to do this however.
