    I read that "sitting is the new smoking."

    Sugar is not evil. This is one of the dumbest threads I have ever seen. Seriously!!!!! I usually don't go off on these things. So, I apologize if you are offended.

    Any time Fed Up is mentioned, I'm going to eat a bag of Cheetos and down a Coke.

    Anyway,

    I doubt it. If I drink a soda, I am not impacting anyone else. if i decided to smoke, the secondhand smoke impacts people around me. I think more and more people will jump on the stupid bandwagons, because documentaries that are fear mongering, but I doubt they will ever be banned.

    Agree, nothing is Evil (Fat, Sugar) as long as it is consumed in moderation.

    For the record:

    I drink soda, have processed food, and eat full-fat, full sugar foods including deserts regularly (and am successfully losing weight, thank you!)... I do NOT buy into this demonization of any food.

    I don't see it (soda) as being "banned" completely.. but I do see it being put into disfavor by policymakers... which means it will become like alcohol and tobacco - taxed, regulated and controlled.

    I don't think it's RIGHT, or that it should happen, but it is already beginning (see references above).

    Never said people should STOP eating sugar, but you cannot argue that it is anything but bad for you.

    I eat sugar everyday. I also occasionally have a smoke. Does that mean they are some how magically good for me? NO!

    Poor sensitive people...I'm taking away your cheetos.
