Thanks for your replies guys! I'm really glad to hear you've escaped that child-like craving of soda pop with every meal like they do in McDonalds. No wonder so many young kids are overweight!
Here in Canada, we imposed a ban on pop machines in schools, colleges, universities, and hospitals. Now those vending machines sell juices and bottled water. Same with machines that used to sell gum, candy bars, and chips, now selling fruit bars, nuts, raisins, etc.
Eat Healthy and Live Longer!

PS... No I'm not a Dietician. LOL
