Ban all drinks but water?

Well I am not the one with a weight problem.

That's nice, me neither.

I'm not sure how being stupid but being thin because you do lots of exercise puts you in any better position to argue than being stupid and fat.

Natural selection deals with slow changes. That's why environment changes happening over even "slow" time periods like a thousand years can easily wipe out an entire species. Once a species is able to alter its environment, natural selection loses its efficacy. For instance, we can keep people alive and reproducing who have all kinds of traits that are undesirable.

The entire history of humans as we define the term is the merest blink of an eye, we could quite easily wipe ourselves out before natural selection has a chance to catch up

Mr and Mrs slob feed their child 2 ltrs of coke, kid becomes obese and fails to attract a mate/dies young therefore doesn't reproduce.

Mr and Mrs slob feed their child 2 ltrs of coke, kid becomes obese gets 3 chavettes up the duff who get council homes, he then dies slowly at 40 with long term health problems costing the NHS millions

Natural selection only works properly without interference.

Mr and Mrs slob feed their child 2 ltrs of coke, kid becomes obese and marries child of Mr+Mrs obese thus guaranteeing a morbidly obese child

I'd retort by saying I am clearly an ignorant, arrogant, spiteful little man but everybody already knows that.

Yeah sure. Maybe come out of your middle class enclave and see how the world really works?

Plus, of course, you're suggesting drinking Coke is a genetic trait rather than a behavioural trait.

Not to mention, even a truly terrible diet of Coke, fags and Big Macs often doesn't make you fat until after you leave your teens behind - youthful metabolism combined with burning calories running away from the police - by which time you've already had kids.

I like the way they suggest banning it from the dinner table. So you're OK if you feed the kids takeaways in front of the telly.
