thedailygreen.com— Did Coca Cola and Pepsi use corporate responsibility as a shield to buy off Save the Children to stop the group from advocating a soda tax that would fight obesity in the U.S.?

Leftists ask "Did Coca Cola and Pepsi use corporate responsibility as a shield to buy off Save the Children....?"
People who live in the real world ask "Did Save the Children use kids as weapons to extort funding from Coca Cola and Pepsi?"
Because as soon as they got their money, they shut up. Which tells you they care more about money than kids, or they would have refused it loudly and indignantly.
"No one food or drink is causing obesity. And no one food or drink will hurt you in moderation."
Your mind will be blown when you realize the amount of food that is derived from corn or that incorporates corn products. Even the meat you eat, chances are, came from an animal that was fed corn. So unless you truly know what's in your food, you're probably overeating corn.
Now that, in and of itself, is probably not causing people to eat too many calories, however, the fact that government policy is to subsidize corn causes food prices to be artificially low. If food is cheap, you can purchase more of it, and subsequently eat more.
I don't give f**k if I am overeating corn. I never said a f**king thing about corn. (and by hteway...don't bother regurgitating all the s**t about how evil corn procucts are. Those have been thoroughly debunked to the point that anyone who still repeats it just destroys their credibility. And you already have none left.)
However, even though I drink WAY too much Coke and Dr. Pepper, I am a man in my late 30s with a body fat of under 10%.

Good....that is an idioitc idea anyway. No one food or drink is causing obesity. And no one food or drink will hurt you in moderation.
How come Dr. Pepper didn't have to pay?Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
