Coca cola stocks will get a boose from this

 

[Meelo]

Why should our tax dollars go towards enabling obesity again? Jamal D'Boot'lips can buy his 2-liters of fizzy corn syrup on his own fucking dime.

 

[The Dude]

Want to drink soda? Then get a fucking job and buy it yourself. Soft drinks are a luxury, not a right.

 

[The Last Stand]

There’s something to be said about “never interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake.” Except, they never see mistakes as mistakes. They think they’re entitled to anything and everything. It’s all so tiresome, says the Chinaman.

I see that quote as how the public would respond to their hubris or if they FAFO.

 

[LORD IMPERATOR]

Want to drink soda? Then get a fucking job and buy it yourself. Soft drinks are a luxury, not a right.

Not to mention that if it becomes a right, people will get fatter and die faster.

 

[YarrBlueballs]

mutt land living up to its reputation of having the most obese citizenry in the world

We're not even in the top 10 for obesity. Soon we'll be behind El Salvador in prison population as well! What has the world come to!?

Not to mention that if it becomes a right, people will get fatter and die faster.

You say that like it's a bad thing. The faster fatties die, the less cash they take from insurance and medicine. Yet again, my idea of feeding people to death is both ethical and utilitarian!

 

[VeteranOfTheRetardWars]

I'd say my most dearly held radical political opinion is that every person in the US should be quite literally drafted into working at a grocery store or some such similar establishment from ages 16 to 18. That should be the American right of passage, from being a child to becoming a young adult you must go through the infernal hellfire of customer service work.
We'd get the EBT situation sorted out after a week of my new Draft, because that shit changes you. Your soul is transmuted from clay to iron, you grasp the way of the Tao, you have fought your way out of the darkness in order to appreciate light, and you share the ancient primordial pain of dealing with these FUCKING RETARDS with the hundreds of thousands of employees before and after you.

> Soda is unhealthy
Uh, actually have you considered that they have electrolytes that plants crave?

 

[Wash away the rain]

Who ever featured this thread over soda is a fucking nigger and should be hung for necroing a conversation that was had last night.

 

[The Last Stand]

Apparently, a fatwa has been issued to MAGA shill accounts on behalf of BIG SODA to post in favor of keeping soda in food stamps—for seemingly no reason. Some pretty big accounts are involved (and also Ian Miles Cheong, too), and allegedly, they're paying up to $1,000 per shill

I don't know what to say for this, so here you go. Best way to express what is happening.

Do you know who they agree with? Do you know who else said that?

That's right— Trump!
These people are literally Trump supporting facists smh.

You assume everyone is only dipping in when they fall on hard times, and that everyone pays into it. The truth is the majority who take never paid in, or take out way more then they ever paid in, and the ones paying in will never take. Further, the ones paying in are having to budget out things like getting a treat because the rising prices of everything but their own paychecks, while those who take get automatic increase and dont have to do without. Work or gruel. And you can pick up the litter on your way to the gruel line.

That's not true at all, actually. It was true mostly in Reagans day but the share of people who don't earn wages and get SNAP benefits is only about 60%.

This sounds bad but remember that this was mid 2023 when the study was published and we had the height of illegal immigration and work visas being issued and local business owners would consistently dodge hiring native citizens. So, this number is actually indicative of a population which largely seeks to work but can't.

 

[Jace on ice]

Rook at me I Ian Mires Chong! I reer American and not Ching Chong Chinaman!

Drink Driet Soda so you too can be super hot dog rocket America #1!

Soda rery rery good! Give big strong American penis! Not tiny tiny Chinese penis!

Jesus fucking christ I bet it was null featuring it.

Sodagate officially >>>>> JFK assassination

At least we'll get some productive and intelligent debate out of it.

 

[Greasy Goblin]

Remember, Michelle Obama tried to improve just school lunches, not even all food in general, to a healthier program back in 2011, and Conservatives are still bitching about school lunches having carrot sticks and low-fat dressing in them instead of junk food. Switching over to less fat, sugar, and salt, and serving more fresh fruits and vegetables, has been a wildly unpopular plan amongst Conservatives

You're god damn right I'm still bitching, because the "low-fat dressing" IS the junk food. Might as well be eating twinkies. Carrots? Great! I don't know how you can go on the first half of your rant mentioning the companies sneaking garbage into our food and then in the very next paragraph claim that it's unreasonable that some of these things were opposed. Can't you see how these things that look nice on paper are contorted?

Here's let's look at one of the "better" lite dressings

Ah yes, when omitting water, the largest ingredient, by quantity, is pure cooking oil. We even have some titanium dioxide (banned in the EU, a lot of the world actually) for a brighter white color, and even some of those gums that cause inflammation! Very healthy. I'm sure whatever budget Kraft offering bought wholesale for schools is even better!

EDIT: I'm sorry twinkies, I guess I wasn't familiar with your game? It's certainly no health food, but they actually contain tallow and egg in greater quantity than soybean/canola oil, might actually be marginally healthier than low fat dressing, what the fuck

 

[Hatter]

Ian miles ching chong! Ping ling long ching chang ching!

 

[Back me up!]

Not to mention that if it becomes a right, people will get fatter and die faster.

Nahhhh. Medicine is just too good at keeping fat people alive.

Now smoking THAT was a vice thst kept you productive and killed you at 60/70.

 

[Day of the Cope]

Oh God, no. The US Politics thread was featured! Get in the bunker!

Supposedly a list of influencer paid by the DNC has leaked (or least influencers that use a heavy DNC aliened PR firm)

I think the funniest thing to me (if it is true) is that they list all the pronoun along with the race juuuuuuuuuussssssssssssttttttttttttttttt to make sure the DNC is hitting all the groups.

Oh and the color represent which niche they are in. Gotta make sure you get them all!

Thinking about it more.....there is some mid 20 year old biz major cracked out on SSRI creating Dashboards and Reports on hitting all the ethnic group.

WE ARE DOWN ON THE LATINIX MARKET SEGETMENT, WE GOTTA PUMP THOSE NUMBERS!

From the party that says you're more than your skin color: a spreadsheet of who's being used as tools organized by their skin color. Awful lot of white on there, libs, yikes, not a good look.
