Alcohol, drugs, whatever: What has the Government outlawed and managed to keep out of the hands of criminals?
When criminals want it, don't they always get it? When something desired is outlawed, doesn't this end up putting criminals in business--and usually BIG business where they make fantastic amounts of money?

Laws regarding large entities and laws that apply to law-abiding companies and citizens have generally been effective. Laws that try to keep something out of the hands of criminals--when criminals really want it--have nearly always failed and have nearly always ended up empowering criminals by putting them in business and rewarding them handsomely.

But it doesn't stop people from drinking too much soda anyway. It may be a start. Always, always, always, it comes back to educating and raising the consciousness of the population. Outlawing what the people desire has never worked. Outlawing what the criminals desire ESPECIALLY doesn't work.

You're right. It's an idiotic decision. Education is better than taking things away. Then if people still want to mess their body up by drinking big gulps every day, well, whatever..
