Soda companies prey on humanity's weakness for sugary crap foods, encouraging people to make the bad choice of guzzling down sugary, acidic, caloric drinks devoid of any other nutrients.
Meanwhile, publically funded food science departments at universities spend money on research aimed at reducing the costs of producing high fructose corn syrup so that sodas (and other junk food) are cheaper. Then the soda companies benefit monetarily while charging people large sums for essentially sugar water. The people end up addicted to caffeine in Pepsi and Coke, leading to perpetual consumption and greater risk of obesity and type II diabetes.
