We know what her fridge was full of😂 what a horrible excuse for a parent😡👎
These soda companies also need to start being held liable for the bullshit they put out. The sheer volume of varieties for all types of tastes people have, is obscene. They have more freaking UPCs than stores have 4 foot shelf sections. And the dumbfucks who run these corporations STILL try to shove every single type of product onto the shelves, as if the laws of physics will comply.

Of course she should be. I didn't say she shouldn't be. But soda itself is so damn toxic. But mostly, I was ranting about the ridiculous number of choices. Here's an example:

Gatorade:

They have....

Regular 28 oz Gatorades of all the regular flavors. Like, orange, lemon lime, cool blue, grape

They have regular 28 oz bottles with all the Fierce.flavors like Grape (again), and a lot of others.

They have regular 28 oz Gatorade zeros with all the regular flavors like lemon lime, orange, cool blue, etc.

They have 20 oz Gatorade with all the regular flavors, all the fierce flavors, and all the zero flavors repeated.

They have 20 oz Gatorades in with all the regular, fierce, and zero flavors that are in 4 packs

They have all the 20 oz Gatorades with all the fierce, regular, and zero flavors repeated in the 6 packs

They have all the 20 oz Gatorades with all the fierce, regular, zero flavors repeated in 8 packs

They have all the 24 oz Gatorades with the sports caps in all the regular, fierce, and repeated zero flavors.

Then they repeat ALL of that for the Gatorlytes!

Then they have three different sizes of Gatorade water. Produced by Pepsi.

Pepsi then ALSO has....

Propel waters, 20 different flavors, all repeated for 4 different sizes, and each one with the sports cap.

And that's JUST Gatorade!

Nevermind, all the different flavored Pepsis that all come in all the various different sizes that are only a few ounces each from each other for no reason: 20 oz bottles, 19.5 oz bottles in 4 and 6 packs. 2 litres, 12 oz cans, mini cans, mini bottles, extra large 20 oz cans: all in peach, lime, wild cherry, diet, zero sugar, caffeine free, diet caffeine free, regular Pepsi.

Then they have all the mountain dews now! Just for the 4th of July, they came out with THREE new flavors of mountain dew, each one colored red, white, and blue, when they ALREADY HAVE red white and blue-cored mountain dews! They all also come in zero sugar and diet, and all the different shapes and sizes. Mini cans and bottles to large cans and bottles.

And that's just Pepsi! Nevermind what coke offers, all the juices, muscle milk ....then you have AAAAALLLLL the energy drinks, and Star Bucks coffees!

Meanwhile, the coolers in these stores were built when Americans actually had SOME sanity left. And these dumbfucks that run these corporations want to shove every single type and style of drinks into the stores, the coolers are.overfilling and a shitkoad of stuff goes outdated. Then they turn around and raise prices because they're losing a shitload of product! Or drop prices and advertise like hell to get Americans to drink their shit.

Walk into a dollar general sometime. Pay VERY close attention to how they place their product. Dollar Generals are fucking INSANE! Just for Propel waters alone, they have 4 different selling.locations, each with a different size, and none of them are even in the general vicinity of eachother. They'll have one size of propel on some random ass end cap. Another size three aisles away, and randomly 3/5ths of the way down the aisle on the right, and a completely different size of.propel in some random corner of the store. Not to mention the random ass coolers. Every single dollar general is set up completely different from every other DG.

I'm telling you, our corporate overlords are absolutely insane. Something needs to bring these people to heel.

Tamara Banks

An Ohio woman has been sentenced to at least nine years in prison after her 4-year-old daughter died from severe malnutrition, with her teeth rotten from a diet of mostly Mountain Dew.

Tamara Banks, 41, of Clermont County was sentenced on Friday, May 24, after she pleaded guilty in March to involuntary manslaughter, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Prosecutors said that the child died in January 2022 after being neglected and abused by her parents, and that she experienced diabetes-related complications after being fed the Mountain Dew through a baby bottle, local affiliate station FOX 19 previously reported. The girl's teeth had rotted out and she had almost none left, the outlet added.

The Cincinnati Enquirer also reported that Banks would sometimes mix baby formula with the soda and feed her daughter through a bottle long after she should have been weaned from it. Prosecutors also said that investigators could not find evidence that the girl had ever been to a dentist.

"This is one of the most tragic cases I have ever encountered," Clermont County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Clay Tharp told The Cincinnati Enquirer.

Prosecutors also added that the girl had been suffering from diabetes "that was left undiagnosed and untreated over a long period of time," according to WCPO. Her cause of death was diabetic ketoacidosis, which, according to the Mayo Clinic, is a serious complication of diabetes that occurs when ketones build up in the bloodstream.


The Clermont County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

WCPO reported that Hoeb and Banks found their daughter unresponsive on Jan. 21, 2022, and called 911. She was taken to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, where she was eventually declared brain-dead and later taken off life support. She died four days later, per The Cincinnati Enquirer.
Tharp argued that the girl's death could have been prevented if her parents had treated her diabetes, telling The Cincinnati Enquirer: "This child did not have to die."


Prosecutors also said that Banks has older children who suffered similar incidents in her care, including a son who fell into a coma at age 4 from undiagnosed diabetes, The Cincinnati Enquirer reported. The outlet added that prosecutors said that Banks' son was neglected even after waking up from the coma, as he missed follow-up appointments with doctors


Banks previously told a judge that she thought she was taking care of her daughter to the best of her ability, stating in court, "I thought I was taking care of her," per The Cincinnati Enquirer.

The outlet also reported that under Ohio state law, Banks could serve as much as 13 and a half years if the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction decides to extend her sentence based on behavior while jailed.

Fat lump of shit. Should castrate this thing. No way she deserves 10 years of free food, clothes, and housing.

problem with this all is that,the FDA lets this happen. why do you think were most likely the only country to have the shit garbage we have? a lot of our food (as yoo probably already know) is banned in most countries because of its chemicals. why do you think that is? right?

but our govt has an interest in this because the FDA. eat or drink these products all your life and get sick from its contents? dont worry! we have a drug for that! we also have a drug for that drug from the food and drink youve been ingesting most your life. but its ok because were the FDA!

That isn't the FDA. That's the Republikkkunt Party deregulating shit left and right. They purposely destroy government functions, just so they can turn around and say they failed. Like Social Security. It's virtually mathematically impossible for SS to ever go "bankrupt."

And BTW, just to nitpick here:

"Chemicals."

Everything is a chemical. YOU are made up of 99% chemicals. Water is a chemical.

But yeah. Sodas with that much added sugar and all those ridiculous dyes shouldnt exist. They purposely make them all colorful, just to appeal to children who REALLY shouldn't be touching that crap.

I mean. A soda here and there isn't bad. But the HUUUUUUGE volume of soda that just Pepsi alone is distributing everywhere. Nevermind Coke products! Thank a Republikkkunt!

The authorities should shoulder some of the blame here as they knew the kids were neglected and did fuck all here. Just like here in the UK when kids that the welfare system knows are in danger die or are killed by parents or step parents it's another inquiry. Then it's all apologies and how they have learned lessons from their mistakes but will do things differently but they never do. The same crap repeated time and time again.
