Imagine 50 years ago they had passed a law to ban any advertising of products that are not low-fat or non-fat. That research turned out to be wrong and eating fat is good. The problem with this has nothing to do with the freedoms of sugary drink companies, but rather with thinking that controlling EVERYBODY will solve the problem. You can ban all the ads, fat people will still find their soda fix somehow. Protecting children is one thing, but banning them across everything is really more of an exercise of authority, rather than a useful policy.
