This whole debate over whether soda consumption is connected to obesity is hilarious to me. (WP) Do we really need to spend millions of dollars on decades of scientific study to determine whether shoveling sugar water down your throat could possibly make you put on weight? And do the beverage industry reps really keep a straight face as they claim that this idea is "laughable?"

Like seriously. "Why is my ass getting so big?...I mean, I do eat a couple of sticks of butter before bed each night, but the jury's still out on whether that's really connected to my problem. Maybe I should commission a study on this."
