[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OMG -- STOP BUYING SODA. Really stop. [/quote] I may be naïve--but people still buy soda?[/quote] You are not only naive, you are living under a rock. While soda purchases and consumption is on a decrease, it is still at astronomical levels: [quote=Wall Street Journal "Soft Drinks Hit 10th Year of Decline" from March 2015] Soda consumption in the U.S., meanwhile, slid 1% to 12.76 billion gallons, the tenth straight yearly decline.[/quote] Yes, 12.76 billion gallons for the year 2014. That's only 34.96 million gallons per day. And this is US sales only. With 318.9 million Americans, that's only 0.11 gallons (14 oz) per person per day. That's about one of those plastic 0.5 liter bottles per person per day. Considering there are a lot of Americans who drink no soda, how much do you think the rest are drinking?[/quote]
