Accountability?

This little gem has been floating around the news headlines for a few days now here in little old NZ, and quite frankly it pisses me the hell off!

I agree, coke and other such beverages should come with warnings. You know those cans that come in bulk cartons and they all say "not for individual sale" across the top - they should instead read: " Not for idiot consumption ". I mean really? to say that this woman had an addiction and to blame Coke for her death is an absolute cop out.
Coke, one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) cola companies in the world - and why? because people drink coke every day all around the world.

And guess what?

They don't die, why? because most people have self control and know when enough is enough. It's time to take accountability for our own actions people - over indulging in anything is going to kill and for those of us who don't understand that need to open up the dictionary and learn the definition of moderation.

And while I think it's sad that this woman has passed away, surely if not for her friend and family stepping in, her body itself would have at least given her a little bit of warning that she was damaging herself.

And as for this little ditty

What kind of "fair test" is this? put an egg in a glass of coke ( cool coke bottle by the way ) and leave it for 365 days.......that's pretty much a whole year or 52 weeks there abouts. 

And imagine what it does to your teeth? ( he says sarcastically ) it turns the egg into a bouncy ball and turns the shell into a sooty mess. Seriously! who in their right mind is going to hold a mouth full of coke for a year, forget the damage that it'll do for your teeth, how infected and stanky would your whole mouth get?

And lets not forget that vinegar does the same thing in less time..

That's right, think twice before you reach for that Balsamic salad dressing.

Just quit with the whining already and take a look in the mirror

Its not McDonalds fault you're fat

Its not Marilyn Mansons fault your kids a freak

And it's not Cokes fault you can't reach for the tap and get your 8 glasses of water a day resulting in your eventual death.

Blame Pepsi instead

Take care of yourself - and remember: Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear, fuzzy wuzzy had no hair so fuzzy wuzzy wasn't fuzzy was he?
