Really? Is it really against the law in some states to give a kid a

doughnut
for getting an A or behaving himself?


* Pepsi's website profile of New York Yankees baseball star Jason
Giambi, which prominently displays the quote, "I usually have

several
Pepsis each day-it really lifts me up," is one of many examples of

a
junk-food marketer linking consumption of its product with fitness.


Should Pepsi only use old fat ugly people for its pitchmen?


No, but we should be aware that pepsi won't make you slimmer and more
beautiful.


I'd really like to meet a person who sincerely believes that Pepsi has
such powers. g

Whic his what CSPI is saying, pretty much.

The CSPI is a bunch of elitist nannies. Members apparently believe
people are pretty damn stupid and that it's their (the CSPI's) mission
to save people from what they (the CSPI) believes to be "bad" choices.

They use
beautiful people to promote pepsi, but pepsi does not make you more
beautiful.


What makes you think Pepsi is asserting that you'll be more beautiful if
you drink their beverages?
