I think Benny Hill would call it, "grossen herren." However, I dont drink sugared sodas, nor sugar free ones for that matter either, simply because I dont have a taste for them. The same for my wife, although she's not fat like I am. So somebody here help me - If we were residents of NY State, how would our abstinence of sodas, that is not buying them anyway thereby not paying the fat tax, help the economy of NYS? Just asking.
