Got a backhander from Coke

The judges said beverage makers were likely to suffer 'irreparable harm' if the law is implemented because the warning would 'drown out' the advertisements' other visual elements. Total horse shit.

But anyone can get a gun

The companies will not advertise the bad voluntarily. No one said they could not laud the pluses, the good taste, the energy boost, whatever. Unless gov't is requiring warnings that do not accurately reflect harmful aspects of consumption of the product, what is the problem.

Hooray. Diabetes wins the day.

Figures🧐

That's a shame
