Coca-Cola just engineers the environment to maximally exploit human weaknesses. But it is ultimately the people's fault for not being iron-willed über-mensch and resisting temptation.

Whatever the people do to fight this, they should do it individually, and not consider any pesky freedom-infringing legislation (such as banning vending machines in schools, or soft drinks in school cafeterias, or a tax on soft drinks). Act alone - there's one of you, and one Coca-Cola. One versus one - fair, right?

One versus one? When comparing a single person and a massive corporation? Or I might be missing the sarcasm there maybe
