weighing the idea behind closed doors

Ooo, they made a funny!! "Weighing" when they are trying to control what and how people eat and drink, nyuk nyuk nyuk!

Seriously, switch to diet soft drinks if you can...I know how nasty some of those are though. When you get upset think about the Founding Fathers and what they went through (without the internet, imagine!) being taxed within an inch of their lives, and remember how they dealt with King George back then...stamps, soft drinks, things people really have to have being taxed...so the King could have money to blow on foolish things...you know none of this is going to end well, don't you? Personally, I think when TIIC ('the idiots in charge')put really high taxes on drinking water (tap, not just the bottled kind) there's going to someone in the white house and congress getting what for come election time!!

Diet soft drinks are ten times worse for you than than the regular ones. They severely tilt the pH balance of the body, causing your body to have to work harder and faster to clear the stuff out of your system and rebalance. Next time you are at the grocery store and see a morbidly obese person shopping (either leaning on their cart like a walker or sitting in one of those electric carts) - look in their basket. Nine times out of ten there will be a crate of diet soda in there.
