NYC fights soft drinks with another nasty ad

The same folks who warned us against drinking human fat (it was a metaphor—I hope) are back with a new commercial. Like that earlier spot, this latest one from New York City's health department targets sugary soft drinks. We're told that five such beverages equal 93 sugar packets, and that such daily consumption can lead to obesity, diabetes and cancer. To drive home the point, they show mega-fatties riding around on motorized carts, crusty disintegrating toes and a dude in a hospital gown looking sad because he's got the big C.
