Oh you government of USA. Whatever you're on, I want it too so I can be as delusional as you guys you should stop taking it so you can actually focus on things like our national security and the rising crime and unemployment rates.

To Canada!

American Dream -> Going to Canada!

Funny because today I saw "Bowling for Columbine". All americans know what I'm talking about... America is such a weird place! xD

Home of the Big Mac and so many flavors of Rice-a-Roni.

Where the American dream remains but a dream, since you would have to be asleep to believe it.

If you establish a drinking age for soda, you have to restrict all the other products as well, fucking over the entire candy industry.

Why?

BECAUSE CHILDREN LOVE SUGAR, DUMBASS GOVERNMENT.

And for the record, having soda builds immunity to caffiene, which is kinda important in this day and age. <_<;

Sweet, now we have a sugar restriction...

Not sure whether to laugh, facepalm or put a bullet through their heads.

How about all of the above?

It's not like people follow the drinking age for alcohol anyway >___>
Same would go for soda, if ever .__.

My response:

*blink blink*
*opens bottle of pop to my right*
*drinks*
BURP!

Jesus, what's with the American government being stupid. I need to start learning Swedish...

the maingag of this post is eluding those that arent versed in german language

Quote :

According to UC San Francisco pediatric endocrinologist Robert Lustig, the answer is emphatically yes.

Lustig is the german word for " funny "

how fitting a name for a man making those claims

and it gets even better than this, he is saying that fructose is one of the main issues, given he is saying what everyone knows allready, that it should only be consumed in controlled amounts.
However, fructose is a natural substance found in sweet fruits .... knowing the americans for their ridiculous laws you can guess what this would lead to in the end.

a very funny man indeed.

I see what you did there...


Still, taking as legal a concern for excessive sugar doesn't seem that bad to me. Think about the ones who get diabetes in the end.

Edit: And prohibiting fruits would be truly ridiculous. Sintetized fructose yes, but not natural fructose...

GG US Government.
Dumb motherfuckers, the lot of them.

US Government, wai u so diehard. U guys go so hard, I can't keep up with the amount retarded laws ur making.

Ppl usually don't like it when they are being forced to do something, wether it's healthy or not. Most ppl would prefer to have the choice.

Hell, food has many toxins in it, lets ban food.

If I had a million dollars for every smart person in the American government...
I'm Canadian btw

Hey! I'm sure... we have... one... maybe... v.v

There should be a legal age for food too!

It can cause obesity yah!

I vote that we set up a legal drinking age for Dihydrogen monoxide. It's one of the most dangerous substances in the world, yet it's found in every house! Did you know, that injecting Dihydrogen monoxide intravenously can KILL you? Or that "users" become dependent on it? They can only go about 3 days before they NEED more! I say that the legal age for it should be at least 21, given its danger. As of now, there is no government regulation on this dangerous substance!

Dihydrogen Monoxide - 2 Hydrogen + 1 Oxygen - H20 - Water

No, I'm Captain Obvious.

It's not like you can feed little 1 year olds soda while they are still on the boob.

I'm not saying you can't but parents naturally do it for their children anyways.
