The food fight is on -- again.

A consumer group called on the government to require warning labels on sugar-laden soft drinks, claiming they are the biggest source of calories in the American diet.

Waste of time. For anyone that cares the nutritional information is already printed on the can.

morons with nothing better to do

[oogeooge]

no you know why our tax dollars are being spent. on stupid junk like this...

[Grimm]

Let's call for stupid people to wear signs. This way we can disregard them immediately and save a whole lot of time and effort.

Wait, I have an idea!!! How about instead of regulating that businesses restate the blatently obvious, we require parents to teach their kids how to behave? We could have parents teach children things like, too much sugar isn't good for you. Eat fruits and vegitables, don't hit other people and treat others how you would be treated.
That does sond kind of silly, now doesn't it? Expecting parents to raise their kids, after all, it's the government's job to raise our kids, not ours. :rolleyes:

I say that the pendulum has swung too far on safety. We're just tainting our gene pool with idiots. I say we remove all warning labels and give the gene pool a nice dose of chlorine.

[bachviet]

That's just stoopid. :2far:

[hapoo]

heres the funny part. Pepsi and Coke were originally made in the late 1800s as medicines. Now they're killing people. But then again, so was heroin.
