There's a reason every sugar cereal in the country is advertised as "a part of a complete and balanced breakfast." When you pretend this shit is going to be consumed in moderation you can ignore the fact that it's a nutritional black hole.

Been reading "The End Of Food." Paul Roberts points out that up until the Boer War, 30% of the calories consumed daily by Britons were from the jam on their bread. The navy stepped in and demanded reforms because they couldn't find enough able-bodied men to crew their ships.

I'm surprised that the MD mouth article doesn't mention meth. Meth heads love the Dew, and they have the worst teeth of any segment of our illustrious population.

Also, in other heart breaking news, I know several nurses who work with infants who have reported seeing soda in baby bottles (I live/work in the ghetto). Adults can do whatever the fuck they want, but I can't begin to speculate about what soda does to an infant's development. Child abuse, plain and simple.
