Its the high fructose corn syrup that does all the fattening from sodas.
The stuff is horrible, particualrly if you drink gallons of the stuff and just sit in front of the TV or computer like too many kids do. Parents need to realize that children are the major commitment of ones life and the TV and computer are not substitute parents.
Parents need to stop expecting the government to legislate the stuff they should be doing on their own. I don't want the government taking our freedoms because parents are too lazy and/or self absorbed to do the job they are supposed to do.
