Besides the soda being bad aspect, how is this hurting the poor? They can return the bottle for money, the system is working as intended.
- nroets 4y agoExcept the price excluding the deposit in Slovakia is higher than the price in Hungary. That's how the retailer pays for the machine. I disagree that sugar free soda is unhealthy. Nutritionally it's almost identical to water, which has many health benefits. We can discuss this endlessly. Or we can go look for some peer reviewed research.

Heavy water is exactly nutritionally identical to water, and yet drinking it exclusively for multiple days will kill you. "Your body extracts the same amount of nutrients from A as it does B therefore A is as healthy as B" is, needless to say, a deeply flawed argument.
