Coca-Cola Advertisment: The Beach. Not only targeted towards kids, this ad shows beautiful, physically fit people grabbing two cases of cokes. They are laughing, running around and doing flips on the beach. It makes the kids think the drinks are fun and energizing. 

60 Minutes Report: Is Sugar Toxic?

Dr. Robert Lustig researches the use of sugar in a daily diet at the University of California at San Francisco. It's not the calories that are making us obese- it's sugar. He says sugar is a direct link to obesity, hypertension, and diabetes. More and more children are eating absurdly unhealthy. Table sugar and high fructose sugar are basically as equally bad for you. Items such as syrup, sugary drinks, and sweets should be eliminated immediately. Processed food, such as fast food from restaurant chains, contains an unnatural amount of sugar. People need to limit or better yet eliminate the amount of sugar they intake a day. Sugar is toxic.
