    Who here drinks 16+ ounces of soda at a time anyways? Is it necessary? Probably not. It is true that it should be a person's right to choose whatever they want to drink and how much of it they want to drink. With increasing obesity rates and health care costs should the government intervene?? Probably not, it is definitely one's choice. But who will help us if we can't help ourselves?
