It's annoying when people defend smokers or obese people. It's their decision to become fat or die of cancer, doesn't effect me. It's a stupid argument to make that they are ill informed therefore we should cut the lagest soda out to help them...I'm skinny and I occasionally like to treat myself to giant soda's. I work out and eat healthy food to maintain my body though. I guarentee the obese people aren't saying, "Well shit, they cut out the giant drinks...I should probably stop going to the movies, work out, and eat right to keep up with my slow metabolism." Passing this bill does nothing. Plus, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that they don't know that soda is bad for them. Waters are always available, why don't they just drink that??? Because they don't give a shit...They don't give a shit about becoming educated, they don't give a shit about what they eat, they don't give a shit about exercising enough...If I had the worst possible conditions I.E my entire genetic make-up made it very difficult to sustain a low weight, I would STILL do everything within my power to become fit and healthy because it is in MY best interest....Why does the government have any stake in whether or not I become healthy? Because it makes them look good to herd us towards eatting right and it makes them more tax money if we stay alive longer....Just my 2 cents, I could be absolutely wrong on every account...
