Jodi Coffman on 31 Aug 13Individuals should be able to consume as much soda as they want. I think that there should be more education about how drinking soda in excess can lead to obesity. Maybe warning labels on soda to remind people of the effects of drinking sugary beverages. I think it is then up to each individual to make the decision of how much soda they consume.

Ana Ortiz Palacios on 31 Aug 13I get why this is being done, but if they do ban the soda. Some people are seriously addicted to soda. Could this also turn ugly and people start selling it like if it was a drug?

JENNIFER MOLINA on 01 Sep 13I think that one has the right to consume as much soda as they wish. Its a personal choice that should not be governed.

Donette Fincher on 01 Sep 13I total understand the ban, since most Americans don't pay attention to the main ingredient in soda which is "high fructose corn syrup". Research has shown high fructose corn syrup is as addictive as cocaine yet there are no laws regulating the use and quantity of it in food and beverages. High consumption of high fructose corn syrup has been proven to cause obesity and diabetes. There's not enough public education regarding this ingredient to enable consumers to make intelligent choices when consuming beverages and lobbyist lobby the government to make sure it stays this way.

alexis casillas on 01 Sep 13I think this ban is ridiculous controlling the amount of soda and sweetened drinks people consume is wrong. Although sugary drinks can be detrimental to health, people have the right to control and live their own lives according to what they think is best. I like how this article has statistics and shows how many people don't agree with this outrageous ban.
