Soda served in 6-8 oz portions for the same approximate price as wine or beer is ok (how it’s served in Germany). None of those things are good for you, but one or two on occasion won’t kill you.
Soda served in 20 oz bottles that are treated as single servings or as bottomless refills is horrifying. Watching my relatives constantly having a soda in hand is hard; watching my 6 year old nephew get given a medium-sized fast food cup of soda to go with his hamburger just about every day is soul-crushing, as is watching my little pre-verbal niece who is eager to eat blueberries and raw spinach leaves instead be fed the same crap her picky brother is willing to eat until she stops asking for more.

I've family friend's who've completely acquiesced to the demands of their children for fast food, or heavily processed ready meals, soda and unfettered access to junk digital entertainment. It's an utter tragedy to witness knowing the cost it will bear on them in many regards as they grow up.
