    Diet Soda and Fat Folks ?

    Maybe it's just me, but it sure seems like everyone I see drinking this crap is overweight Not really sure why anyone would put soda of any kind in their bodies but then again I don't understand how anybody can smoke or dip/chew

    Most diet pop drinkers consume it because they like the taste better than the non-diet, not because it’s a diet drink.
    "The man of system is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamored with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it…He seems to imagine that he can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chessboard.” Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments

    When I drink a soda it’s Coke Zero or Diet Dr. Pepper. I doubt they are much better for you than regular sodas. Just trying to cut down on the useless calories. We avoid refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup. I’m not overweight.

    For some it is the taste Miller Lite isn't necessarily drank for weight loss purposes

    Well 72% of Americans are either overweight or obese so chances are they could be drinking herbal tea and still be fat.

    All soda is bad, diet soda is worse, in my opinion. As to obesity, it's a mixed bag.
    People with medical issues are a minority percentage, for most it's lifestyle driven.
    If someone wants my help, I'll step up and try. Otherwise, I'll let them handle it.
