Personally, I believe that sugar water (coke, pepsi, fanta, etc.) are responsible for much of the obesity epidemic. It doesn't take a genius to think about the impact those things have on people's health when You see the BUCKETS of soda that people are carrying around (a half-gallon of coke? Really?), and to consider the amazing amounts of sugar that go into those drinks.
I've been saying for a while now (to nobody in particular) that we could wipe out much of obesity by outlawing sweetened drinks. I'm not sure I'm really serious about the outlawing part, but anything that would get people to drink less of that poison would help.
Well, it looks like New York City's Health Department picked up the glove. Read all about it in Marion Nestle's great blog: Food Politics.
