Is it really that surprising that people who are raised on soda won't take up water once they reach adulthood? Imagine the same situation but with regular food. Would you switch to the healthier but totally tasteless and bland alternative? I doubt it -- I know I wouldn't. I would keep eating steaks and vegetables over a tasteless mush.

A reasonable amount of steak cooked with minimal added fat (skip the butter basting) and roasted vegetables seasoned lightly with salt is a pretty healthy meal. Throw in a salad with some undressed raw, leafy greens and you've got a solid meal.

Arguable steak and vegetables are some of the healthiest food you can eat, if they are high quality...

So are milk and vegetables juice (to a degree). I'm sure you can convince those people to drop soda and energy drinks. It's the move to water that is probably a hard sell.
