Should Sodas Have Warning Lables?
Should some of America's favorite drinks have warning lables?
The article "Let us enjoy our sweet drinks in peace," and the article, "Puting warning lables on sugary drinks would save lives, " states that sodas do have a lot of sugar, but are not the only reason for health problems. One athor says yes, while the other says no. Read this article about someone who says no. Then decide what you say think.
First of all, there is no guarantee that warning lables will even work! I mean, when they put warning lables on ciggaetes all it did was make people who really liked them want to buy them more. Sure it helped some people to be aware of the posibble risk , but a lot of people never even bothered to read the lable! Who is to say that warning lables will work when people will not even read the lable!?!
Next, there is already a warning lable on those drinks and almost everything else! It is called nutrition facts. It contains all the information that a person would want to know about the thing that he or she is about to eat or drink. All the calories. And ingreadents. And the sugar.
Lastly, if lawmakers are so covenced about making people quit drinking so many sodas, why not try somthing that might actuly work. A higher soda tax. It has been proven that a higher tax on ciggarettes helped people not to buy them. Plus, one reason soda is so popular is because it is so cheep. If lawmakers put a higher tax on soda, then people would not buy them as often. Although people would probly still but them accasionly.
So, in conclusion sodas and other sweet drinks are not the only reason ror health problems, so why push for lables? The biggest reason people have health issuses is because of lack of exersise and over eating. So all of you that say yes we should have warning lables and you, California, GET LOST!!!

Do you really want to ruin are drinks? Come on really almost all the drinks in the world are made with sugar. For example Coke,Mtn Dew,Dr.Pepper,any brand of tea,Rc,Crush,Pepsi and more. There basically our only drinks other than water. Think about it if you put a warning label on drinks parents would probably make there children drink water instead of letting them drink coke or pepsi from my experience they will go CRAZY.
Now when I had my first taste of coke it was love at first sip. Let me tell you if you take coke away from me I will go CRAZY. So you shouldn't put warning labels on sodas for the sake of children and grown ups especially because the jobs that they work they need there caffeine and us kids need caffeine to bother the grown ups that just got home from work.
The point is that kids and grown ups both love soda and if you warning labels on them then we will probably drink it anyway because warning labels are on cigarettes too but do we stop smoking not that i've noticed. What I've noticed is that everybody would want to drink coke more because people like to take risks. If you put warning labels on sodas then were going to drink more sugar than ever.
Also your trying to get rid of some drinks with sugar that's just outragous. That's like taking candy from a baby. Do you seriously want to take candy from a baby. I know that yours guys are all about health and everthing but taking away coke and other drinks that contain sugar your out of your mind.
So seriously don't take our drinks away by putting warning labels on them. Because the world as you know it will be gone forever if you put warning labels on our drinks. so that's that it's up to you guys go ahead end the world as we know it it's all up to you.

Did you know that the goverment is trying to put lables on our favorite soft drinks! Well I say they shouldn't! You are probably asking why are they doing such a thing? Well I have three diffrent things to say about it.
California has all ready tried to pass a bill to put labels on all soft drinks! The goverment has starting telling americans that the sugar and trans fat in our food and drinks is making us fat! Would you want to get told you are fat i wouldn't.
In the article it's talking like just soda is causing headache, gas, mood swings, tiredness, obesity, heart attack, diabetes and many more. I know of a bunch of skinny people that have all that stuff. And most people drink them for energy like in the morning i drink one because its like my coffee.
Oh last thing there are a bunch of diffrent things that have labels but people still buy or do them. Like cigaretts my mom smokes them and they have a bunch of labels. And also almost every food you buy in the store has labels they are called nutrition facts. So back off goverment!
And thats why California should back off. Soda isn't causing all the health problems. And there are a lot of diffrent things that cause the same health issues. Thats my opinion whats yours?

` If you are like most people, you like coke, and if you are you would want to hear this : California is trying to pass a bill to put warnings on coke. well I say no to that. ( this affects you ,tenneesse, because other states might follow along.)
You may be asking why. All of this is because of sugar. Why sugar? Why do this for sugar?Sugar can cause your teeth to rot, make you obese(fat), can turn your liver to scar tissue, and can cause diabetes.
Nobody listens to wanings, I do not. They need to do some thing to grab are attion like a tax. people will listen when money is involed.
studes have shown warnings do not work. When they put warnings on tobaco, it made smokers want to smoke more. Why put warnings when Wednesday, they do not work.
Remember, sugar can hurt. Thank Russ Lloyd, Even Cook, and Scope for infomation and being epic.

I said NO to puting warning labels on sugary drinkes,because it just crazy. We all love sugary drinks and everything has sugar in it.
Warning labels on sugary drinks! That is a ridiculous idea that will not solve any problems. Yet, that exactly what lawmakers in California are proposing.Find it all on page 20 in you scope magazine.
If thay put labels on drinks. Having to many labels defeats the point;the more warning labels there are. The less in part labels we will have. A apple has haft the amont of sugar that drinkes do sow what are they going to do put labels on apple that will be bad...
Every thang has sugar in it like on page 20 it said that you just might put labels on every box of cereal,every jar of tomato sauce, and a loaf of bread and it is so cheap that we all want it.Some people thank that they should ,but they drink it and most drink 5 or 3 a day.
And there is labels on all pakges of cigarettes and dip they are bad to and they can kill you. That the right thang to put warning labels on not drinkes. That is dumb. So you hear that, California? Back off! It tells you it , all on page 21 in your scope maginzine.

Honestly I think that we need that little bit of energy to finish the day that would be a tIme I would drink a soda.Its been a long tIme since I have had a soda I would say about 3 weeks since I have had a soda talk about a long time dont you think.
Also another thing apples are a fruit what do they have to do wIth thIs though you may ask?Well they have 21 grams of sugar almost half of what soda has so if soda is banned then apples should be too. Only 4% of fat comes from soda other reason are lazyness and overeatIng is the other 96%.And you say soda is bad.
The only reason I say thIs Is because soda is a energy that is what keeps factory workers awake to do there job I. come on we may have coffee , but It only works for so long soda does to . it works longer because Its colder and gives you the chills .
There are so many facts about the soda and why it is not that harmful it is amazing . The only reason that it Is gettIng banned Is that the government does not see that it is only 4% of the fat that humans have . It is not going to be ilegal yet because so many people run against soda being banned, its amazing.
I think that we might keep sodas they are a engery sorce they are smooth and they are soft.I thInk they are a beverage that America can go wIthout but at the same time America would go In to a group that would repel from America if we got them banned. but again sodas only have 4% of americas fat problem.But this is my question for you what do you think yes get rid of sodas?

Have you ever drank a soda? Of course you have. Do you think labels should be on soda? NO! I think people should enjoy a soda without worrying that they can die from it.
In the article it says soda is not the only reason of obesity. Other things that lead to obesity, diabetes, and heart attacks do not have warning labels, so why should soda? That is another reason why they should not put warning labels on soda cans.
The article states that california will waste time and money to put warning lables on soda. They should not seperate americans from there favorite drinks. They have tried it but they failed.
The article states that they do not guarantee it to even work. Like on cigarette packs it has a warning labels on them and the cause people to smoke more. There is my point if we put labels on soda it will make them want it more.
That is what I am trying to say all these things are all reasons to not put warning labels on soda.What do you think?Who's with me. COME ON!

Do you think they should put warning ladels on soda? No is what I think because then people would stop buying soda. Now should they put warning labels on soda? You should pick a side.
In the text it says dont get me wrong sweet drinks are a problem. That should not give them a reasen to put a warning label on soda. So back off California. Now we should let the people drink soda if they want to.
It states that sugar might be adictive. I say but that dosnt stop people from drinking soda. So why should we put warning labels on soda. There are some that say yes and some say no.
They say sugar makes you obese (fat). Well, the parents should not let the kids drink so much soda. So realy people should not drink that much soda. People stop fighting to put warning labels on soda.
This is why I chose no.People are stupid to put warning labelson soda. That is all fine and dandy. But still you dont have to tell people it is making them fat.
