It takes a village, apparently. A consumer advocacy group is petitioning the Food and Drug Administration to put warning labels on soft drinks to raise awareness that an excess of sugar-filled pop can lead to obesity and tooth decay. I guess nobody has a mother anymore. Stay tuned for more biased reporting.
The Center for Unimportant Jason Opinions (CUJO) says that even if warning labels were put on soft drinks, everybody would ignore them and drink regualar soft drinks anyway. Even if the insistence upon government-mandated labeling and restrictions on product placement aren't unnecessary, overreaching, and disturbing abuses of government power (which they are), the judgment about what goes into a child's body rests entirely with parents, who should be steel-willed and loving enough to ignore the pleas of their children for this sugary thing and that sugary thing in the interest of the child's health, whether he/she likes it or not.
