It suggested sample warnings such as “Drink less (non-diet) soda to help prevent weight gain, tooth decay and other health problems,” or “To help protect your waistline and your teeth, consider drinking diet sodas.” It also suggested a label that bears a notice that caffeinated drinks are inappropriate for children.

Why does any responsible news organization try to dignify these people with labels like "insurgent," as if they have a cause and a purpose other than murder?
