Ideally, soda should be something enjoyed once in a while as a treat, not as something to quench your thirst. I love root beer, but I don't drink it every day, nor do I drink it in large quantities. If you "need" a diet alternative to something that should be an occasional indulgence, you're consuming way too much of it.

The cultural cachet of fizzy drinks has been ruined. Irreparably. And justifiably too. Because of how bad they are. But, they invoked that beautifully mid-century Americana image. For a while. Like, you can just imagine how good one of those little glass bottles of Coca-Cola tasted as you sipped while driving a big '50s car. Open-top, pink with tailfins. And your best gal is in the passenger seat. And your going to a drive-in movie theatre. That's what fizzy drinks used to MEAN. But now, the only image it invokes is a very fat person drinking from a 2lt like its tap water.

I was looking at old menus from the 1950s and even though fast food was blowing up then, the reason obesity wasn't blowing up to was because there were quality standards but also because you were encouraged just to buy a burger alone and not fries and a soda. Those were seen as side things.

People were also less than a generation removed from people whose diets weren't invented by literally the military industrial complex back then so a little "junk food" (which 1950s burgers weren't really anyway) wasn't a big deal

See it turns out humans actually can for the most part figure out a good and healthy pattern of eating left to their own devices but the united snakes of ameriKKKa made sure to fix that and nowadays eating a vegetable makes you a commie faggot and commie faggots get the rope.

HFCS is sugar but worse.
>>20008390
No, corn syrup is not HFCS. Corn syrup is just a starchy carbohydrate in liquid form, High-fructose corn syrup is like sugar but with more fructose which is what makes sugar sweet but also the bad part. Normal table sugar is 50:50 sucrose and fructose but hfcs is like 70:30 or something like that.
