And they still would. People would either move to diet, or drink less. Or the beverage companies will have new drinks to enjoy.

No, just saying that big Coke will follow the law if it changes. And getting rid of HFCS is something RFK should 150% be doing.

This is retarded. The fda actually you know regulating health and not being a paid whore of pharma or big sugar is a net benefit.
Not a issue of government overreach.

You can stop drinking the shit whenever you want.
Why do you need more regulation?
Same shit. Outlaw smoking, legalize weed.

Would coke be using so much HFCS if the same government you're harping against wasn't subsidizing corn out the ass?

If you're so retarded that you get diabeetus, ygwyfd.
Just stop being a fat ass. Nothing to do with it.
Yeah, we should put more corn in our fuel too, make sure we fuck up all our engines.
Or wait, are we supposed to be switching to electric only? You know, the clean energy produced by coal power plants?
You guys are fucking confused about my position here. I don't give a shit what's in soda. I don't give a fuck how much you drink. Personal responsibility, not government regulations. Don't subsidize the shit, don't ban the shit, let people decide what they want. If the public decides they don't want corn syrup, they won't fucking drink it. I don't want ethanol in my gas, but I don't have a fucking choice either.
That's my position. Fuck the government, fuck regulations. Personal fucking responsibility. It's YOUR fault you're a fat ass. Not corn, not Coke, not the government

Exactly. He falls back to an idiotic position as if this isn't all a consequence of widespread compromise of our government to corps.
What's your next moronic take. That processed foods are just a libertarian choice?

No regulations is just as extreme position as regulate everything. Unregulated capitalism lead all companies offshoring manufacturing and the current H1B mess because it made their excel spreadsheets look good at the cost of wage growth.

If you want to eat garbage, eat garbage.

The people didn't get the choice in the move from sugar to hfcs. That was all big corn lobbying. Reversing this would be a good use of FDA's raison d'etre. Remove HFCS as an option, given that it causes fuckloads of health issues. Let companies figure out whatever else to use instead.
If you want freedom from all regulations, then it's time to end corporate personhood and the liability veil as well. Unregulated capitalism will have people putting poison in the food and water to save a penny. As long as we are free to give them what they fucking deserve in return, I'm game.

Caveat emptor only works when the average consumer can have full knowledge of every product. We passed well beyond that sometime in the 18th/19th century when technology started outpacing society. It is literally impossible to be a renaissance man in 2025.

They can turn cane sugar into liquid and I think Coke used to be a big deal in Louisiana so it has some historical symmetry.
