I voted no on the same bill, maybe you didn't read my post...

This is a consequence of your nanny state bullshit values.

Enjoy!

You are a bizarrely angry little monkey, aren't you?

Am I?

Read your original comment.

I'm mad about the stupid grocery bill and I'm mad that you think it's your place to try and influence what I choose to consume.

I'm just as mad as you but I'm also mad at you. You and those who share your sympathies are the reason this is coming to pass.

Isn't this all a result of folks, far and wide, now recognizing that for over a hundred years, we've consuming a pleasurable beverage with negative effects that far outweigh it's positives?

Big Soda is scared and is just buying time.

In short, yeah. But only since about the 1980's. (Remember Fruitopia?)

Soda didn't really come into its own until the '80s because of the massive grain surpluses of the '70s due to hedgerow-to-hedgerow agricultural policy. Fundamentally, our agricultural system was designed to win the Cold War and the Cold War been won. Everything you're seeing now is an attempt deal with the imbalance.
