The CDC is concerned. They conducted some research to see how many sugary sodas people are drinking. They say its a socio-economic thing: Low-income adults got about 9% of their daily calories from sodas while high-income adults got just 4%. Blacks get more of their calories from sweetened beverages than other racial groups.
That tells me a couple of things. Sodas are expensive, so it seems that low-income people waste more money than high-income ones. Maybe that's why they're low income. The second thing it tells me is that I was right all along -- we should not allow carbonated beverages to be purchased with food stamps or SNAP or whatever they call it. Problem solved!
