re: #268 Sharmuta

And as far as a tax on soda? I welcome it. The stuff is garbage that does nothing for your body. I quit drinking them regularly years ago and only drink them occasionally. I don’t miss it at all, and for folks who think that those who make bad decisions should have to pay for them- I would think a soda tax would be up their alley.

I am totally with you. If we can tax tobacco like crazy, I cannot for the life of me fathom how collecting 5 cents per can of high fructose corn syrup laden soft drink is objectionable. Do people deny there is an epidemic of obesity and related illnesses (esp. diabetes) in this country?
