Why is ATS advertising Mountain Dew?

Apologies if this is in the wrong place but i thought it would be best put here.

What i want to know is why ATS is advertising Mountain Dew as its a product of Pepsi, we know that some Pepsi drinks contain aspartame which is the toxic chemical sweetener and they have admitted in 2003 that their drink contains trace amounts of alcohol which they are happy to sell to children and muslims.

This link covers more www.talewins.com...

But the aspartame chemical comes from a compny called Monsanto, so lets check these guys out

On January 15, the Obama Justice Department launched an anti-trust investigation against the corporate behemoth over its next generation of genetically modified "Roundup Ready" soybean seeds. The very next day, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the case Monsanto v. Geertson Seed Farms, which challenges the safety of genetically modified agricultural products -- the centerpiece of the Monsanto empire. If the investigation fails, farmers will have to switch over to the next generation of Roundup Ready seeds in 2014. And the cycle of corporate abuse and monopolization will continue.

So why arent ATS helping the smaller independant companies instead of the corporate untrustworthy giants?

Lastly here is a link to a documentary called Sweet Misery which goes further into this chemical from these companies and its effects i hope ATS will consider it.

I believe the answer to your question in your OP is ... Money talks, everything else walks.

In agree that aspartame is bad for you but nobody twists your arm to drink it.

As for alcohol being in Pepsi? As far as I know it is only in the Vanilla extract used to make Vanilla Pepsi
and cherry vanilla Pepsi. Vanilla extract is 36% alcohol so how much is REALLY in the soda? 1-2 drops of alcohol? Not even enough to worry about.

Much worse things to worry about if you want to worry about what chemicals go in AND on your body.

Though I think it would be awesome if ATS made sure to only except advertising from good company's but it would be really hard for ATS to keep track of what good or bad and then try and pay the bill just off the good ones. you can find bad stuff every where and as economy's fall it's going to get worse because company's will be forced to by cheaper and cheaper products to make there items with. Me and my Wife try to keep our kids safe from the bad crap but it's hard to from toys to food you have to research everything about the company all the way to the products they produce and it's not easy.

Aspartame would only be used in the diet versions of the drinks anyway. And like was said, nobody is twisting anybody elses arm to drink anything with aspartame in it. I drink one 24 oz. bottle of Mt. Dew every day for the caffeine to get me through the work day. Anything in moderation is not bad for you.

Why not?

Mountain Dew is delicious.

I like the Thow-back Mountian Dew!!!
It has the best flavor with natural sugar.

Just think of it this way. Mountain Dew brings money to ATS, and we get to disclose info regarding MD producers...
If we don't drink it, everybody wins, no?
