Man Drinking Fat. NYC Health Anti-Soda Ad. Are You Pouring on the Pounds?
For a discussion of this video and more information on the topic, visit us on Facebook: www.facebook.com Tell us what you think of this video by taking a short survey at www.nyc.gov Disgusted? Most people don’t realize how easy it is to gain weight from drinking sugary sodas, juice drinks, sport drinks and sweetened tea and coffee drinks. Just one 20-ounce bottle of soda can pack 250 calories and more than 16 teaspoons of sugar. Is the lemon-flavored iced tea any better? Not by much with 210 …

For fucks sake. Eating can make you fat so don’t eat anymore…

1 can of soda can make you fat? Eating 30 apples a day can make you fat also. So can drinking milk everyday. What this ad should say, is anything in moderation is fine. If a soda is going to be apart of a standard 2000cal a day diet along with basic exercise, how can that adversely effect you? I’d love to know what water/juice/energy drink company or lobbyist is really behind this “PSA”.

It’s really obnoxious when people put out Ads imposing on other peoples liberty..
Sure it’s their liberty to make this Ad of course and I’m glad they can.
If they tax Soda though, that’s fucked up.
I’m going to put out an ad showing religious people putting stupid into their bodies.. lets see how well that goes over.
10 pounds a year? That’s supposed to be shocking? Doesn’t water weight fluctuate something like 3-6 pounds every day or so?

@biathcw Get your facts straight. Here’s some numbers posted online for you. | 8oz Coka-Cola Classic, 97 Calories, 27g Sugar, 33mg Sodium |
8oz Borden Skim Milk, 80 Calories, 11g Sugar, 110mg Sodium | The skim milk is only a few less calories, less than half the sugar but FOUR TIMES the sodium. Any information intended to promote good health and slim waistlines should NOT be promoting MILK.

Wait what? You’re a little off-topic… they say cut out sugary drinks.. meaning those HIGH in sugar. 12g is minimal compared to the 45g+ you’ll get from a non-diet drink. Just stick to diet-drinks with rum, goes well, keeps the ladies with ya.
Your interpretation makes me think of a firefly quote, try not to take offense, just a little levity from a great series:
Simon to Jayne -”How did your brain ever master human language ?”

A little half pint of SKIM milk is 80 calories with 12g of SUGAR, yet they suggest drinking that instead of sugary drinks? They are either on crack or just cashed the propoganda check written by their friendly dairy lobbyist. If this wasn’t clearly a smear campaign against the cola companies, they would have suggested diet soda.

Gotta love NYC! First we get a pamphlet on how to shoot heroin properly, then a PDA on the evils of soda. I love my home, but something went wrong here.

The whole adding 100 calories to your day doesn’t make mathematical sense. When you are a certain body weight, it takes a certain amount of calories to maintain that bodyweight. So while you may initally gain a little weight, you would then hit a plateau since that newly added weight requires calories to maintain it.

What a bunch of BS! I drink over 4000 12oz servings of Mountain Dew a year, and have been doing so for 20 years. I’m 6′ 2″ and 145lbs with a 34 inch waistline. I never exercise and am in good health. Do the Dew

I don’t drink soda; and do primarily drink water. I have my 1 cup of coffee per day and wouldn’t care for that to be messed with regardless of how unhealthy it can be.
I exercise and eat healthy and wonder why this couldn’t be more of a focus. I do agree that if you eat or drink something unhealthy that has 100+ calories and don’t exercise everyday you might be at risk to gain weight.

@nandatebayo666 they care because they need mindless drones, to work, consume, marry and reproduce more workers. Can’t have your mindless drones getting fat, not good for the capitalist pocket.
