Yeah... obviously I do agree with you here. I have no problem with increasing real education.

Diet Soda is a TERRIBLE example! That is simply an example of people who are willfully ignorant and use it as an excuse. There is no shortage of information on how bad that shit is if you spend 2 seconds looking it up in an era where everything is a goddamn google click away. Substitute processed foods, in their entirety, are terrible for you. That includes butter substitutes as well.
I mean I didn't think you were talking about stuff people could easily figure out on their own. Hell man, ignorance isn't an excuse for stupidity. All soda is poison anyway. That's not hard to discover. It should have a warning label on it.
