KFC Selling Large Buckets of Soda to Help Find a Cure for Diabetes

KFC is so American I can't even stand it. Diabetes? Pssshhh.  We'll knock that out with soda by the gallon.

And you know what? I respect the hell out of them for it.  For once we're placing the burden of caring for these people squarely on themselves.  You want to drink over sized buckets of soda-pop until you're so diabetic your foot needs to be removed and you go blind?  That's cool, but we're going to tax you an extra dollar on every comically large coca-cola you buy.

I kind of wish all of our vices worked like this.  Like just tack on an extra $2 per pack of cigarettes specifically earmarked for those idiots and their future cancer treatments, or an extra couple bucks per 30 pack of beer or bottle of vodka for drunk driving defense lawyers. 

This country would be a much simpler place if everyone just contributed to supporting their own self inflected ailments.
