I'm a big fan of the "my parents let me drink pop as a kid which means they didn't love or care about me" in the replies.

I grew up with a well that had hard water so soda with dinner was pretty normal. Thinking that having soda with dinner is a sign of trauma is way off base, it’s just a sign of not being rich.

Like, I get that it's some weird 'every problem in my life can be traced to this and nothing else to examine' thing but boy does it loving minimize actual neglect/abuse poo poo!

Mak0rz posted:What she supposedly means is that realizing no one else drinks pop with every dinner clued her in that her upbringing was different than others, and further investigation revealed actual trauma she didn't realize was there before. She's not necessarily saying that the soda thing was toxic or traumatic, even though the wording of her tweet seems to heavily imply that. lmao is it not easy to instantly guess that the tweet wasn't about "My parents permitted me to have soda every night"? My parents weren't abusive but also when I was eleven there were a whole lot of days where I'd drink 36-48 oz of cola and that'd be like 2/3rds of my calories for the day, the rest being some cheap take-out/drive-thru food my dad would pick up on the way home from a 12 hour work shift. My sisters had a friend who was extremely obese at like 16 years old and her home had no food in it besides soda, chips, and microwave meals. I don't think a kid drinking soda frequently is a sign of abuse but it's probably a little bit of a yellow flag that becomes a much much bigger yellow flag if it's "this kid drinks more than a can of soda a day on average."

No that’s a rather insane leap to make. Frankly I think it’s much more likely kids who didn’t have soda at dinner would be considered the out of place one. Unless you lived in very specific communities

Splicer posted:A cup of high fructose corn syrup with every meal is weird. It may be normalised but it's still weird. I mean I think that’s a different argument. It’s like saying it’s a flag if people have Cereal for breakfast. Is most Cereal very healthy? No but it’s not exactly a pre cursor to abuse. Words have got to mean something. You can argue something is bad without needing to take an unrelated thing and craming it in

Trapick posted:Apple juice has as much sugar as coke. Sugar consumption in general is super normalized. I don't think having a glass of juice or soda at a meal is a sign of much in current America. It feels like people have some weird focus on soda specifically being unhealthy despite, like you said, it's similar to any other sugary drink or juice. I think it stems from the amount advertising and pop science articles bottled water companies have spent a couple decades making that single soda out as the worst thing to drink. Obviously water is best for folks to drink, but diet soda at least isn't as likely to lead to diabetes as drinking a lot of juice or anything else pumped full of sugar.

I remember hearing someone talk about her granola parents sending her to grade school sick with a cold, with a reeking maskful of essential oils to treat it, and she stank so much of eucalyptus that she got in trouble and then she had to be the weird kid for ages. So we should also spare a thought for kids whose parents are nuts.

"I'm judging what you by what you eat and drink" the game is a garbage game. (it's also a very reliable and classic proxy-tool for making race-based decisions that hurt people but hiding it behind a seemingly neutral sounding reason.)

i actually know people who can't stand the taste of water and i've taught them to get one of those tea strainers / tea bags / mesh bags and just add some slices of lemon, cucumber, strawberry or orange to make their water taste less, uh, watery. also it forces them to drink the water faster because those things make the water "rot" faster so i guess it's a win-win?

I don't think water makes for a very good palette cleanser with a meal. You need something sweet and I don't want to drink wine/beer with dinner every night.

Pop for dinner would have been much nicer than the sulfery untreated lead pipe water I sometimes had to drink as a kid. Eventually they got a brita filter which removed the rusty flakes but the metallic rotten egg flavour stayed.

You need something sweet after every meal to cleanse your palate? I've literally never heard of this idea and I'm an American. Maybe my family was super weird by treating desert as a "sometimes" thing instead of having a daily apple pie ration

Terrible water abounds, but especially in lower-income communities  but poor people are poo poo because they prefer soda, you see.I just don’t understand people who feel the need to just-the-tip of their personal icebergs on viral Twitter threads. Go big, or stay home.

It's ok to just have water with your meal. If you need to cleanse your palette after eating maybe you should eat better food.

I think it stems from the amount advertising and pop science articles bottled water companies have spent a couple decades making that single soda out as the worst thing to drink. When I worked at a pizza place with a soda fountain it was always funny to me they would insist their kids get minute maid lemonade instead of soda. If they were avoiding caffeine I could see it, but we had sprite and I think our root beer was un-caffeinated.
