What they should do is not tax soda, they should drop the prices on healthy shit, not raise the price of soda. Unhealthy foods and drinks are heavily subsidised by the government. if they healthy foods were subsudised instead this stupid ass shit wouldn't even be an issue because the healthy foods would be cheaper than junk food...

Yup, Subsidized because of the cheapness and surplus of corn and corn products (vegetable oil, hugh fructose corn syrup, corn fed cows, etc) in the US. The government doesn't care that it's gonna cost us more when over half of US citizens will be overweight and at risk for diabetes and heart disease because they're making bank at the moment.
Like I said and I'll say it again: if the government was really serious about stopping obesity, they would tax the obese individuals themselves and not everyone including those who live healthy lifestyles and like to indulge in a Coke or a pizza every once in a while.
Tax overweight people by the pound and watch them lose weight.

how do u tax overweight people tho? Who is to know what some guy down the street weighs? Or better yet, what their body fat is. They should just make car seats only capable of holding a certain amount of poundage. If youre above that poundage....your ass is walkin. Problem solved.

The YMCA in Kearney Mesa is sponsored by Jack-In-the-Box, which is right next door.
