yWow. Don't they look foolish now that childhood obesity is epidemic. "Kids eat and drink more things made with sugar than anybody. But how many fat kids do you see?" Answer: a lot. I see fat kids everywhere.
In the 70s kids weren't so sedentary as today, and there wasn't a McDonald's on every corner. But still, this is obviously a horrible advertisement. To think that soda could be pushed as a health food is just unbelievable.
Really? Their diet advice is to have a soft drink before a meal? A 12 ounce can of Coke has nine teaspoons of sugar! It goes to show that you can never trust these diet fads. Eat less and exercise, folks. It's as simple as that. (BTW: This ad is from a 1970 issue of National Geographic)
