Price of sugar has outright collapsed to 21 cents per pound. Producers are crying for someone to sell their goods to.

Sweeet.

I disagree. white sugar in moderation isn't all that bad for you. just like any aspect of your diet, an excess of any one thing is harmful.
my stomach is far more sensitive to the chemical BS they use to replace sugar just so they can call something "diet"

however i still can't figure out why white/refined sugar is still so popular when raw sugar tastes exactly the same, better for you and in most cases cheaper.

Sugar is bad but High fructose corn syrup is much much worse. And in the US and most of Canada alot of products use it as its usually cheaper. All the soda in the US uses that instead as Corn is heavily subsidized.

At least now that sugar is cheap I wonder if Coke and Pepsi will go back to using real sugar instead of HFCS which makes the taste much better.

Sugar is death.

"They" have known it for over 100 years.

Banting's diet knew it in 1863.
The MAYO clinic prescribed low carb diets to prevent seizures.... in the 1920's
Yudkin wrote about it in his book "Pure, White and Deadly" in 1972.
Of course Atkins new about it after successfully treating patients in the 60s'

Coles notes: the ad is FAKE.

At first glance, this appears to be a vintage ad by the "Soda Pop Board of America" extolling the virtues of drinking cola at an early age. It's been circulating around the internet for quite a while, during which time many sites have angrily responded to the claims made in the ad.

For instance, the Queen Anne Chiropractic Center declared that the ad demonstrates "just how wicked the Mad Men of yesteryear were." The parenting blog babble.com wrote: "We all know that, on occasion, advertisements can offer some fairly crappy advice. Back in the day, though, ads had no shame." And NaturalNews.com offered the ad as evidence that, "Soda companies, much like drug companies, have relentlessly tried to convince parents that forcing their products onto their children is a smart thing to do."

I could go on, but I'll cut to the chase: the ad isn't real. It's just a very successful vintage-ad parody created in 2002 by RJ White, who explains its full provenance on his blog Ice Cream Motor:

About seven or eight years ago, I made this fake ad, exhorting parents to give soda to their babies. It was done on a bored afternoon when J.D. Ryznar asked for someone to make that very specific thing on his livejournal. I whipped it together, posted it to the web, joke over.

THEN. A couple of years later- it started showing up online, in those weird lists that pop up every so often with a "Oh man, ads sure were strange back then, weren't they?" theme. Thing is, those ads are largely real and mine is not and very obviously so.

White links to the original livejournal post that inspired him to create the ad. His ad seems to be currently enjoying a fresh wave of popularity thanks to tumblr and pinterest which are presenting it to new audiences, many of whom (once again) seem to be accepting it at face value as a genuine vintage ad.
