Default warning labels on soda cans...

do you think this is retarded, or do you think its a good idea?

personally I think the need for a lable is usless, everyone already knows soda isn't great for you. do we really need a warning lable like they have on cigaretts? how far will they go?

the group that just came out with the reports recommneds that people drink diet soda. it can give some kids siezures.

I personally don't need the government telling me what I should and shouldn't eat. I take personal responsibility for what I eat.

Jesus fucking christ will this bullshit political correctness never end???

make people take responsibility for their own actions for a change...everyone knows that if you drink too much soda your teeth will rot, high blood pressure, kidney failure, can trigger hypoglycemia and diabetes, kids go nuts and chop off their left toe, contents under pressure so do not shake or look into top of can or bottle while opening.

Is common sense really that hard to come by anymore?

Depends, if you're talking about the warning elaborated here:
http://www.ess.sunysb.edu/tracy/whatis.html
Then it's good.


If you're talking about a warning on the overconsumption of Soda causing problems, I would be curious to see the proposal for that...
