there was a thread about diet soda versus regular soda in another forum and it sparked a question in my mind. why drink soda at all ?
now i know that sounds like a really simple question. but i suppose my wuestion is a little bit more specific. what keeps the nerd/geek sub culture consuming so much Pepsi/coke/code red etc ?
i do plenty of unhealthy things. i consume more coffee than i should for instance, but why is liquid candy such a favorite ? can't we all just reach for the pink lemonade next time we go IN-and-OUT? is it really just so tasty that geek/nerds- who are known to be information junkies-will continue to consume despite knowing that you could clean a car battery with the acid found in coca-cola ?

It tastes and looks good so they like it. Artificial sweeteners and dyes do a wonderful job in luring young people. Just like the bright colored flowers do with insects. It`s not healthy but if consumed with moderation I don`t think it can do much harm. Also there are no visible short term symptoms that may warn them of the dangers of over consuming those things.
I eat junk food as well but I also eat fruit and vegetable to clean my body. Also water intake and physical activity is very important.
