Me and you (hopefully) both understand that that is not a human mistake rather than mega corpos profit-hungry strategies to hook people up on sugary drinks. Instead of limiting peoples choices, we should strafe to punish companies for their aggressive strategies towards customers. As simple as regulate how much actual sugar goes in a drink. People will complain and hopefully drink less if it is less sweet. The ones who would keep drinking would ingest less sugar. Win-win for humanity, lose-win for corpos. This new rule looks like is fighting the cause in a backwards direction.

Sugar in drinks was already regulated. It wasn’t enough.

Yeah turns out people were incapable of making good decisions on their own. Which is fine, unless you’re asking everyone around you to pay for it.
