Given the dependencies of governments from taxes, I bet any tax source
will be preserved.
So, the best way to preserve soft drinks is to tax them, so the
government will have good reasons to not ban them and to protect them
from competition.
They banned alcohol until they needed the revenues. Then they legalized
it and taxed it.
The food pyramid supported by the US government could see as a way to
enhance the selling of this type of beverages.
