This experiment of Coke vs Pepsi is tied into chemistry by the percentage of the compound/sugar in each can of soda.…
This glass immensely altered the history of America since it began as a scientific curiosity to a commercial product. People had begun to sell soda water and manufacturing of it had begun. Soon people got creative and even learned of ways to dispense it through fountains. After it the drink began to spread globally and really start changing America. Soda was then also said to have helped the nation in numerous ways like hep end the great depression and help start the rise of Pepsico., which unquestionably caused the economy to jump. Coca-cola was also to have said had a vast influence in politics and tremendously have helped fight communism.…
a. The NYC Soda ban is not as bad as it may seem, and in fact it may prove to be a good thing; it shows the public that the soda ban was implemented for a better cause…
In “Soda’s a Problem but…” Karin Klein distinguishes the government’s issue, “But the mayor’s initiative goes further than something like a soda tax... Bloomberg is playing nanny in the worst sort of way…”(Karin Klein, 289). Simply put, the author explains how the government is overseeing people’s lives and the choices they can make. The government is making decisions by themselves, without the people’s consent! Basically, the limitations on sugary drinks is unacceptable and should be…
In my opinion I think there should be tax for soda, and sweet drinks. First, it states in paragraph three that they are trying to encourage you to exercise more. Secondly, it also stated in paragraph three that they try to reduce suffering and save lives. Lastly, it stated in paragraph two that they try help stop obesity. This is my opinion what's your…
According to paragraph 2 of “Ban the Ban!” it says “when you take away the option to order a soda over a certain size, you have now removed my options. I no longer have a choice. That is not what this country is all about.” The author is explaining hat when the mayor made this ban he is now taking away one of the public’s options to order a larger sized soda than normal.…
I feel that it's not ok for Beyoncé to sell soda at all. Soda is a very unhealthy drink that can cause very bad health problems in the long run. Many people drink soda because it taste good on their taste buds but that good feeling is affecting your body every time you drink it. So why would Beyoncé sell soda? She’s not doing it because she likes it. The only reason why she is selling soda is for her needs only. I have some reasons why it’s not ok for her to sell soda, and hopefully it can get you to realize the problem with this.…
“How far should the Government go to protect us from ourselves?” (Huffingtonpost.com). That is a question some New Yorkers have been asking themselves since September 13th, 2012, when the New York City board of public health officially put into effect a ban of selling sugary, soft drinks over 16 ounces (about half a liter). This soda ban has divided the city separating residents into two distinct views. Will this new ban benefit New York City and create yet another stepping stone against the obesity epidemic, or is it an unnecessary abuse of power by the government, that is unfair to big corporations and businesses?…
It’s not the government’s job to make decisions about what we drink and where we drink it. That’s why I think it’s a bad idea to ban soda machines from schools.…
The soda ban was a like a house of cards on a crooked table for small businesses. For example, it is unfair to small and minority-owned businesses by preventing them from selling large sugary beverages; while allowing their large competitors such as 7-11 and grocery stores to carry the banned sugary beverage ("Public Health Concerns: Sugary Drinks). Although, soda companies will fight to say this issue is about choice, but it’s really about profit ("NYC.gov."). Furthermore, these businesses disregard the health of their consumers. Even though companies profit from individuals purchasing their sugary drinks, they are not to blame for others poor choices. The ban will harm very businesses that can least afford…
Soda ban maybe can help to stop the growing of obesity rate, and even reduce it. Take China as example, in which the largest size of sugary drink is 22 ounces (in US it is 44 ounces) the overall obesity rate is below 5 percent(WHO). Furthermore, by improving the public health, the government can save more resource from health care and invent them to solve other problems. So I think the soda ban is an effective and useful decision.…
What will happen if they make that a law in all the 50 states, which will be terrible. That will mean that they are trying to overpower people's opinion. How does the government know that this banning on sodas and candy machine is going to work? Are they going to weigh every person in New York every week or something? No, they can't do that is impossible, insane, and irrational. I disagree with the government.…
In the United States, drinking soda is no longer a fad: it is an addiction. Despite the rising medical problems in our country, Americans refuse to reduce their consumption of soda. Whether soda consumers choose to deny links between soda and health risks or ignore them, it is unfortunate that these consumers are oblivious to how serious of a problem drinking soda truly is. Regardless of what companies who produce the drink claim, soda is a dangerous liquid and is harmful to the human body. It is linked to greater weight gain, higher amounts of body fat, and an increased risk of heart disease and Type II diabetes. Health problems in the United States will continue to grow if Americans do not decrease their soda consumption.…

Allowing diet sodas in schools has always been a touchy subject for Americans. Many think it’s perfectly fine, while others don’t. I believe no type of soda, diet, or regular should be allowed in schools.…
