Coca-Cola Funds Scientists Who Shift Blame for Obesity Away From Bad Diets

Well, someone's got to fund them, sugar consumptions down and coke sales are also down (per capita) while a chunk of that's the diet/zero crap. If everyone just concentrates on diets and doesn't point out the whole sedentary lifestyle kids sat on sofas problem then we're doomed.

Plus, I really hate the aftertaste from aspartame, this anti-sugar campaign is massively reducing my choices of drinks.
