After a lifetime of falling from grace at the hands of two liter sodas, I understand that I’m weak in my self-control. Now I only drink soda in cans (despite the cost and environmental impact) as part of my commitment to moderation. Controlling the temptations I may not prevail over is part of my battle for moderation.
That says nothing about the power of big sodas to impact my health, my life, merely that I understand where I’m all too human
If it makes you feel better, from a purely environmental perspective, drinking soda from aluminum cans is probably way better than plastic bottles due to higher aluminum recycling rates and much higher efficiency of the aluminum recycling process compared to plastic.
I’ve made this argument to religious friends and family members resistant to trying psychedelics.
“If a little piece of paper or a little mushroom risks getting rid of God, what does that say about God?”
Presumably it says more about their faith ……
Here’s a ridiculous analogy
