In other words, "No, it's not that cupcake that made you fat. It's your choosing to eat that cupcake and sit around all day that made you fat."

I kinda agree with that. Its basically the whole, "McDonalds makes you fat" argument. Well duh it made you fat because that's all you ever ate. If you eat McDonalds every once in a blue moon, or if you exercise regularly, McDonalds isn't gonna make you blow up like a hot air balloon.

Soda is the same thing, obviously you're going to get diabetes if all you do is sit in front of the tube and drink Mt. Dew or if you're drinking a soda or two everyday.

As for long term health issues from soda, it's like smoking, if that's a risk you wanna take then fine, its a free country (right? O_o)
