And less healthy than the water our ancestors drank exclusively for millions of years before we domesticated animals (except for babies and their mothers' milk).
- w1ntermute 12y agoActually, before the advent of farming, the water our ancestors drank was probably pretty clean, since hunter-gatherer societies had fairly low population densities. And you can't directly compare something that causes acute disease (dirty water) with something that causes chronic disease (soda).
- Dewie 12y agoIndeed; how healthy something is is measured by how long we as a species have been doing it... /s
- w1ntermute 12y agoActually, soda sales have been tanking: http://time.com/44282/soda-sales-drop/ http://time.com/44282/soda-sales-drop/
- warfangle 12y agoIf you follow it through, even though sales have dropped 3% year over year, 8.9 billion cases were sold. Each case is 192 liquid ounces. Divided by 365, divided by 316.1 million, that's still 14.8 liquid ounces per person per day - on average, about 0.8 gallons of soda per person per week. I wasn't too far off ;)
