I really shouldn't need to tell anyone why having a fizzy drink loaded with sugar first thing in the morning is just Plain wrong. There are just as many places in Europe that sell fresh juice as canned stuff. You maybe just need to make more of an effort before reaching for the revolting option of diet coke.
Also, the natural sugars in fruit juices cannot be compared to the contents of diet coke. I mean c'mon. You will also find some great juices in supermarkets and small shops now. Innocent being one.
I've never had 1 customer (that I know of) order a carbonated sugary drink for breakfast. Thank god. I mean it's just not palatable.
