Person buying them (with food stamps) still ends up just as fat and diabetic. So what did the ban accomplish? It wasn’t even an inconvenience to switch

Now if they banned all candy, ice cream, chips, baked goods, sports drinks, soda, AND juice, all at once. Well now the average fat person on food stamps might go “uh oh, what can I snack on now?” and it might actually become a problem for their bad habit

But just a ban on soda and candy alone seems like a literal waste of time to me. It’s like banning one flavor of ice cream, or just banning Kit Kat bars. It was a waste of of the paper to print it, and a waste of time to read it. It will accomplish nothing
I don't always live the healthiest lifestyle - it is not even 10:30 am and I've already drank two coffees and a cup of black tea, and have taken an early elevensies in the form of a very processed sliced of chocolate cake. I'll frequently skip exercising if I am ill, tired, or the weather/time is inconvenient. Despite that, honestly I'm impressed by the dedication, money and perseverence people are able to put into being fat, I honestly couldn't do it.
