You know some cities did want to institute soda taxes. We also have crazy high cigarette taxes in a lot of places in the country.
So maybe you've struck onto something ;) if you're a non-essential worker going outside for a non-essential task, you can be outside provided you pay out the ass to pay for healthcare for COVID patients
So does NYC, it’s working out great for them :/

I’m so addicted to coke. Please ban it. I can’t control myself especially when clients have it for free in their fancy fridges 🙈
“Flatten the curve” literally.
Using your logic, why not ban all food with fat or sugar from markets or restaurants?
Absolutely OP. But irrational decisions are still ours. We make stupid decisions while we are drunk also but we still must face consequences. W e are human and we all struggle with willpower. We can all make unhealthy choices sometimes but we should have better awareness and a healthier mentality around it. We can’t just say “i enjoy my unhealthy life and I am going to keep doing it at the cost of my body and society”.
Ban carbohydrates
Peak trash humanity in here...
For real...

Your comparison would only make sense under the following assumptions:
1. obesity, like a virus, is contagious.
2. people have no control of their Coke intake like they have no control of contracting a virus.
So yeah, your comparison makes no sense. I thought logic was supposed to be a strength for consultants. You should work on that.

Next time I catch deadly virus because the subway rider next to me to thicc I will vote to ban coke. Until then..
Actually, f*** it. Ban coke. It's garbage anyway. Just like these simpleton minded comparisons

You can take my Coca Cola, but you can’t take away my freeeeeedom!!!
Can’t deny a Big Mac with a Marlboro is how I like my days to start
OP- are you Mike Bloomberg? I guess you've been bored since that primary shellacking.
It’s true 40% obesity is something we should be proud of
People will have 4 coffees with cream and sugar each day and say Coke is bad - as with any food/drink, just consume in moderation
Fair enough!
There’s not wrong with soda from a science perspective. It’s the part where America says bigger is better. Eat inside a restaurant with free refills and you can easily drink your daily energy needs talking with your friends for an hour or two.
People need to burn off more energy than they consume. But that random person with a 2 Liter jug from 7-11 or circle k will complain. At the same time no one wants to admit guilt for their own actions, thus they blame everyone/thing else similar to the “president” of the United States.
This sounds more like a self control issue. Sugar should only be consumed by the most mentally fit, eat too many bananas and strawberries and next thing you know you’ll be in rehab!

Actually at carbs in general. Viruses feeds off of the glucose in our blood. Sugar to a large extent but carbs also elevate our blood glucose levels. Are we going to temporarily banned bread too?

Non sense. Jus cos it's 'science sounding' doesn't mean it's any less imaginary than unicorns. Good GOD !
