nonsense... Someone is addicted to pepsi/coke is not a threat to the society as much as a coke addict...
It's like comparing bicycle accident to crashing your car in a pond..

Weird that that's what you took from that comment, because it's not what I meant or what we were discussing...at all!
It's another interesting discussion to be had, nevertheless.
If you're talking threat in terms of crime, then I'd argue that the greatest problem related to illegal drugs has to with prohibition and accessibility rather than the consequences of the drug in and of itself, even while recognising that someone high on cocaine can be more dangerous than someone high on, er, coke. This has been borne out in a number of countries that have run programmes to ensure addicts a ready and safe supply of the drugs they're addicted to.
Secondly, if we're talking not just in terms of crime but also about the societal impact of sugar addiction, it's absolutely massive in industrialised nations, where obesity is one of the leading factors of mortality and morbidity due to its role and impact on heart disease, diabetes, respiratory illnesses and a whole host of other conditions.

I am in noway encouraging sugary foods
My point is, a coke addict inflicts more damage on others and society than someone who piles up donuts all-day
