They're getting rid of sodas in schools now...no, not all sodas (hey I didnt have soda in school and I survived) but they are keeping diet!

I hate diet. If you're fat, don't drink high-sodium candy drinks. Let the rest of us who want to enjoy a drink at our occassional splurge at Quiznos enjoy it without being forcefed this low-fat diet junk.

Want to lose weight? Eat healthy and exercise. Quit blaming other people and making companies turn their tasty products into swill.

I used to LOVE to drink lemonade as a non-carbonated fountain drink. But fat people complained and now NO ONE has regular lemonade, its all diet lemonaide and it tastes lousy. I HAVE to get a coke now because there are no good-flavored choices for me. Even the tea is usually diet.

I hate diet.

aggreed. I know some people have glandular problems and what not that cause obisity. But that cvant account for the increase in obese people (especially kids) stop eating! walk to school. see your Doctor, but dont say its mcdonalds fault that your fat because the Big mac is tastey, stop EATING them everyday....


Heres a Foamy Rant, its about Atkins.
FOAMY:
OK, I'M "bloody"' SICK OF THIS FAT-KINS DIET. YOU "bloody"' CARB COUNTING "Donut Holes" REALLY
NEED TO STOP. ALL I HEAR OUT OF EVERYONE'S MOUTH IS, OH I CAN'T EAT THAT, IT HAS
CARBS.... WELL YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU NEED CARBS, IF YOU DON'T HAVE CARBS YOUR BRAIN
ROTS AND YOUR LIVER GETS DAMAGED. NICE. YOUR THIN, AND HAVE SOME WEIRD "O Ring" MENTAL
DISSEASE AND A BAD LIVER. YEP, THE VANITY IS WORTH IT.

I'M ALSO SICK OF THIS "bloody"' EXCHANGE PROGRAM, WHERE YOU MINUS THE FIBER GRAMS
FROM THE FAT GRAMS AND THE CARB GRAMS, TO DETERMINE WHAT THE CARB RATIO IS IN
YOUR FOOD. "fudge" THAT. WHEN I PICK UP FOOD I'M NOT GONNA START DOING ADDITION AND
SUBTRACTION TO SEE IF IT'S A "bloody"' MEAL I CAN EAT. HOW ABOUT JUST MINUSING SOME
"bloody"' FOOD FROM YOUR EVERY DAY EATING BINGES YOU FAT BASTARDS. STOP LOOKING TO
SOME DEAD MAN FOR A QUICK FIX DIET AND JUST EAT LIKE A SESIBLE HUMAN BEING.

YOU NEVER SEE ANY FAT SQUIRRLES DO YA?
WHY?

BECAUSE WE EXCERSICE BY JUMPING FROM TREE TO TREE AND ONLY EAT NUTS. AND THE
OCATIONAL BAGEL THAT SOMEONE THROWS OUT.

STOP BEING SO CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR IMAGE AND JUST BE YOURSELF. IF YOUR A FAT
bastrd, FINE, BE A FAT bastrd. IF YOU'RE AN ANOREXIC JACK-"O Ring" WITH A THYROID
PROBLEM, FINE...BE A TWIG. STOP DOING ALL THESE UNNESSECARY DIETS.

CAUSE YOU KNOW, ONCE YOU GET DOWN TO YOUR GOAL WEIGHT, YOU'RE GONNA BE LIKE:
"SURE, I CAN HAVE AN EXTRA PIECE OF CAKE, LOOK AT ALL THE WEIGHT I LOST. THEN BEFORE
YOU KNOW IT, RRRRRRWEEEEEEEETT. BACK ON A DIET CAUSE YOUR "O Ring" IS FALLIN' OUT OF
YOUR JEANS.

JUST BE YOURSELF. EAT THAT TWINKIE. ENJOY THAT CAKE, BUY THAT EXTRA POUND OF
GOURMET CREAM CHEESE YOU ALWAYS WANTED!!! AND IF PEOPLE LOOK AT YOU FUNNY
BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO FAT OR TOO SKINNY, TELL EM TO "fudge" OFF AND DIE. YOU DO NOT NEED
TO ADHERE TO THE IDEALISTIC VISION OF BEAUTY MARKETED BY FASHION MAGAZINES AND
NEGATIVELY RE-NFORCED BY A SOCIETY DUMB ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THAT BEAUTY ONLY
APPEARS ON THE COVER OF A MAGAZINE.

"fudge" THEM ALL!!!

NOW WEARS MY WAFFLE SUNDAE?

Plus, diet coke has splenda in it; which I am still convinced causes cancer and will generally kill you. Plus it tastes horrible......'tastes like sugar 'cause it's made from sugar'....my "o-ring"

People who say diet soda is good obviously know little about what goes in it. All those chemicals they put in it can not be good for a person's health.

I drink a coke or pepsi every once in a while as a little treat....My fiancee (as well most of her family) drinks it whenever she can get her hands on it.

For the most part it's either water or iced tea for me.

A diet soda is one of the worst things you could consume. Anything with artificial sweetener in it is bad for you.


My mom drinks the splenda crap and I try to explain to her that a regular coke is better for her in the long run but she insists 'oh no it's made from real sugar so it doesn't have all the chemicals and additives!'

Riiight. Then why don't they just call it SUGAR?

Aspartame and Splenda are worse for you than sugar. I drink mostly bottled water and unsweetened iced tea, but if I do indulge in a soda it's usually one made with pure organic cane sugar from Whole Foods or Trader Joes.
