New York City Wants To Ban Food Stamps For Sodas
Not a bad idea. Reminds me of working at the ice cream store years ago, and seeing stamps used only for the purchase of ice cream and fudgsicles (and not eggs or milk, also sold in the same store.)
A little dated but still interesting information. This isn't really surprising at all.
Yahoo! had another half-decent article on the negative side of soda, including citing the negatives of aspartame. The article could have gone a little bit further, but I think the article covered a number of important negative aspects of regular soda consumption. I do enjoy non-HFCS soda's from time to time, and these are likely my biggest nutritional vice, and the article points out some good alternatives to soda (such as water, which I really should be drinking more of.)

Just reading about the link between soda and obesity, which makes sense, but it makes me sad, as soda is one of my few nutritional vices.
But the soda I drink is generally Hansen's, or Jones, both without high fructose corn syrup. All the same, I know that all that liquid sugar isn't good for me. It's not fair... :)
I'm going to have one now to commensurate...
