Just stop drinking that shit, it is so bad for you.

I get all groceries, fast food, drinks, snacks, etc. are becoming more expensive across the board but I'm 100% with you. It's like people bitching about the price of cigarettes. If the crap that's bad for you is becoming too expensive maybe it's a win-win and time to quit while saving money.

First they came for cigarettes and I did not speak out

Cigarette smokers know they're bad. It's an addiction.

There is some denial there. Especially about second hand smoke.

I get all groceries

Sounds EXTREMELY wasteful tbh. Should probably start being much more selective..

I used to eat 2-4 full bags of chips every week, but kow that they're over 5 dollars a pop I've cut them out completely.

I'm absolutely certain the markup on these chips is almost the full price. They can't cost more than a few cents to make at scale.

Good advice. I was very addicted to soda when I was a younger teenager and grew out of it and replaced it with unsweetened coffee and tea.

Same here. This is the way to enlightenment for all.

I really need to take this advice. Quit drinking fizzy drinks years ago, now I go the chippy with work on a Friday…I think it’s time to start stocking up on dilute.

[–] Kimmy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Yup, I used to drink soda all the time. Now it's like maybe once every 6 months. Feel better just from quitting
