While I do agree that we probably drink too much soda, a lot of the problem is with the current use of high fructose corn syrup. One of its sickly side effects is suppressing the notification to your brain that you are full and should stop eating. Thus, when you're chomping down those irrationally sized portions at McD's and slurping up your 64oz HFCS blend of Coke, you will overeat yourself into obesity rather easily. The worst part is the very common use of HFCS in A LOT of foods, not just soft drinks. Due to the difference in cost, HFCS has been adopted by just about all manufacturers of food in the US. It's horrible.
