Drinking European soda instead of American soda is good. Drinking plain water instead of sugar water is better.

Noone says you need to drink it all the time. It's ok to drink soda as a treat. Upvote for a fellow hydrohomie though.

This is my thought on pretty much half the stuff in this community.

Like great, lets switch from a useless consumerist product from an unethical US for profit corpo to a usless consumerist product from an unethical european for profit Corpo.

Why not aim higher? Switch to mostly non-profit or atleast B-corps. Instead of supporting disney and stuff through a proxy of a higher priced european streaming service, why not pirate and say fuck the monetisation of culture by billionaires?

I was more thinking of the health effects but your points are good too.

People will keep buying. It would be better if they didn't, but if they did, at least they shouldn't buy from the enemy.

Let's not become purist as that will benefit the enemy.

I mean, if you are consuming it, apparently it's for you, even if it's through pirating.
