over a potential soda tax

Because eating dogshit food that cost more then real food from grocery store would actually help out their financial situation.
Me too, but because I literally don't understand how this would be a negative whatsoever.
It's like they are almost self aware to see the connection that caring about soda = bring fat

Illinois or Chicago tried doing that but they included sparkling water, diet soda, and a bunch of other non-sugary drinks or actual sodas in the proposal.

I think it was Cook County (where Chicago is located). It was called the "sweetened beverage tax". It included anything with sweeteners, even non-sugar sweeteners, like diet sodas. It did NOT include drinks that are naturally very high in sugar like fruit juices. It did include sodas you'd get from restaurants (it was a per-ounce tax, based off "final product", so restaurants that use soda fountains discovered that they were paying more in taxes on their syrup cartridges than the actual cost of the cartridges, which was insane).
Oh also Starbucks
bribedlobbied to be excluded on the grounds that their beverages were "customizable" and that apparently was enough to get you excluded from the tax. Those fancy soda fountains where you can make your own blend of soda "flavors" on a touchscreen were not excluded, apparently fast food joints didn't bribe the right politicians.Oh here's another fun fact - the woman behind that tax is ALSO the woman responsible for the decision to close down all of our forest preserves during COVID. Yep that's right, the big open outdoor spaces got closed down due to COVID.
Anyways frick that c*nt.

Why do you want squirrels to catch COVID and die

Including diet soda is good. They're just as bad for you if not worse than full octane.

Aspartame breaks down to methanol and formaldehyde. Can we at least say aspartame is more than likely bad in high amounts? Why would you defend such a disgusting sweetener

Sounds like woo science to me. You know that thousands of people die every year due to dihydrogen monoxide?

I dunno Secret Eaters mentioned how diet soda can condition you to consume excessive amounts of high calorie snacks within 30 minutes of drinking it

Not technically
Diet soda has preservatives and artificial sweetners that have been linked to cancer and other issues.
But do you know what has an higher chance to give you those issues, processed white cane sugar.
So diet is less healthy then water, but better then full sugar soda. And thats not accounting for the calories that add up over time.

I drink so much diet coke and have for nearly 20 years. If it caused cancer I would have it.

How many do you drink a day? 1 or 2 isn't going to kill you, probably not even 6 a day. But fatties are guzzling 12 packs and 2 liters like it's health elixir.

Isn't the real issue w/ diet sodas that they increase your hunger, causing you (if you have no self control which fatties don't) to overeat?
