To be clear, this is a jab at the copious amount of sugar that companies throttle down our throats. It’s a critique of big companies.

    So, to be clear, you’d like all sugar banned from the USA? Because the muffin at the grocery store has a bunch of sugar in it too, but no one seems to care about that.

    I’m fine with banning sugar. I just want to know how you’re going to justify focusing on coke and not…. Basically ALL American food.

      Coke makes dozens of soft drinks. And perpetrates a large share of plastic waste, I wouldn’t mind an example being made of them.

      I’m not suggesting banning sugar in any way. I’m suggesting that some form of regulation could take place. A tax, a limitation beyond how much you can physically dissolve in the liquid, a warning label. Something.

        Don’t tax anything. Just don’t consume it. Done. No one has anyone by the throat forcing them to drink soft drinks.
