1/2 pound of sugar, swirled into a delicious type 2 diabetes death shake.




"While I believe that people should be held responsible for what they consume, I think corporations need to share just a little responsibility too, and not sell piles of liquid sugar and fat like this. I'd be surprised if even 1 in 100 of the folks that consume that shake know just how bad it is."

This person has the right idea. Obesity epedimic 2 coming this winter..

whoa....that's crazy... I feel so lucky that I learned early on to READ EVERY LABEL...granted that something like this doesn't have a label, because you get it like in a store, but aren't they required to post the nutritional info somewhere in the store, or make it be available upon request?

I'm glad I don't eat crap like that...

Well at the start of the obesity epedemic, films and media brought nutritional information to the spotlight. Since then most stores have the information, but only provide it upon request, while you wait over 30 min for them to dig, or look it up online.

On the topic of killer liquid drinks, juice/Tea is being manipulated to new levels in the same manner as this shake. For instance, a typical bottle of cranberry juice has over 40 grams of sugar. This might be appealing to some with sweet tooths, but it essentially turns the product into liquid candy.
