Calories and Common Cents

I just had an idea!

What if all the companies who sell soda drinks or fruit drinks we forced to sell thier product for at least a cent a calorie... I believe that we would be well on our way to a less obese/overweight society. For example, a can of Coke (I love Coca Cola BTW) has 160 calories; I would like to see them have to charge $1.60 for it.

Firstly, you would know right away how many calories you're going to ingest and if those calories cost a little more, perhaps we would all buy less of them. Sorry Coke, I do love your product but I really think that soda drinks and even fruit drinks should be advertised the same way as Beer and Alcohol... PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLEY!

What do you think?!

I went for many years, nary drinking a Coke. Then, I began to become more calorie conscious, and there she was - Diet Coke

"Real Coke Taste, Zero Calories" to quote that walking, talking eyeball from their ads at the AMC.

My best friend used to drink Coke in excess, while studying, and completely rotted his molars out.
