On: Glass is the hidden gem in a carbon-neutral future

[sigstoat]

necessity is a wonderful sounding criteria when being applied to things you don’t care for, and ghastly when applied to things you enjoy.

we could sooner justify the elimination of all alcohol products on these grounds than soda. sugary beverages just have calories; alcohol has got the calories along with liver damage, alcoholism, drunk driving etc.

I'm not suggesting banning anything, or taking any position as to whether pop should or shouldn't be banned.

Also if horribly unhealthy sugary drinks were banned, who would sponsor professional sports? They’ve already banned the tobacco companies from sponsoring them like in the good old days.
