Soda on the other hand can be easily overconsumed and delivers empty calories that aren't balanced at the next meal. Soda is in the group of foods, usually ultra-processed, that are responsible for the obesity epidemic. And it's being advertised to children mostly, who don't have much self control, with obesity and diabetes rates in children climbing year after year. Don't get me wrong, I don't think soda is toxic or evil or that it should be taxed or banned. But in the context of a worldwide obesity trend, I would ban the commercials for it, or at least the ones targeting children. I understand that buying soda keeps people employed. But it's also the perfect example of what's wrong in the current society. Maybe we can find more worthwhile pursuits than selling sugared water.
