Prohibiting Soda Consumption to those Under 18yrs Old

All ye teens, before you shake your fists in angst against me, have you actually met a middle aged adult that wouldn’t like to drop a few more pounds?  Soda consumption rates are a crisis in the USA.  Diabetes is an epidemic, even among the youth, unlike any previous generation has ever known.  It is my opinion that consumption of soda is probably worse for a body in the long term than consumption of alcohol, or marijuana, which is not to advocate for binge drinking, or smoking pot.  Therefore, it would be prudent to prohibit the age for soda consumption to be 18yrs old and above.

For some, I imagine this will be unpopular, especially those looking for his or her first chance to throw a riot in some city while taunting police officers.

There has been a long history of humans restricting stuff, especially for young adults, but even for adults.  There once was a time when there was no drinking age for alcohol.  Later, that age rose from 18yrs old to 21yrs old.  Thus, for young adults the restricted list has come to include lottery tickets, cigarettes, and booze among others.  Even adults are restricted when it comes to the consumption of prescription drugs.

Although I stand for it, I don’t claim that my argument is not without some problems.  I know some of the rebuttals.  The most important is the importance of learning responsibility.  That sounds good, as some may be able to link the raising of the drinking age from 18 to 21 as delaying young adults from reaching maturity, such that they are less responsible when they get to age 21 in college through lack of exposure.

Another argument is that any of those that are pro-legalization of substances use both the Bible and freedom as stepping stones to argue against this idea.  I have to laugh at those who say the right smoke is freedom.  IMHO, as a former smoker, there is no freedom in smoking because for the vast majority of smokers, their addiction would better be likened to slavery than freedom.

New - High Fat Content Energy Drinks

Intro:

What I have noticed about certain foods is that they are designed to be guilty pleasures.  Sometimes these foods and drinks actually seem like they try to increase the amount of chemicals or general unhealthy composition in order to appeal to bachelors and kids.  Some common examples that are similar to my idea would be adding mild stimulants, such as taurine or caffeine, as in the case of Rock Star.  Another example would be selling extra fatty greasy salt fast food burgers.  The idea is to increase the guilty pleasures, but I must add that my idea is designed to create something that would hopefully only be used in moderation.

The idea:

My idea is to emulsify a fat in an energy drink.  Something that is emulsified means it is like Greek dressing.  Shaking Greek dressing makes it emulsify.  In general, the idea is to have fat in an energy drink that is designed to be shaken in order to suspend it in the drink.  Remember not all decadent drinks have carbonation, and the idea might be reminiscent of a souped up cross between a milkshake and an energy drink without the carbonation.

Nicotene, Caffeine, Taurine, ect. Soda Pop

It is completely beyond me why I have yet to hear of a soda pop that uses nicotene.  One would think that this method for adminstering nicotene would not only be affective, but also save lives.  That is, I want to make beverages with nicotene in them.

Airplane flights would probably be much more pleasant for a good many of smokers. In fact, these drinks would probably help a good many of people quit smoking. Additionally, drinking beverages with nicotine in them would probably extend a good many of peoples lives. For example, they already know from research that people are more likely to live to be a 100 years old if they smoke, despite the fact that smoking should generally be thought of as a killer for the vast majority of people.
