So politicians are trying to tax soda like cigarettes in a couple of states to help stop obesity.
Is it a good idea, or are you like me and think this is retarded?
-
FUCK YOUR COUNTRY.
I drink about 1.5 liters of pepsi a day and I'm far from obese.
-
soda is disgusting.
-
It's not retarded and it has little to do with fighting obesity, people can't afford decent foods, so they buy cheap canned stuff which is bulked up with lots of sugar. Yes, soda isn't going to help the situation, but it's far from retarded, people drink lots of it, so it's something else to tax and of course once enough people have bought into that bullshit, then they can tax other items of consumptions in the name of fighting obesity.
War on terrorism is played out
War on climate change is on shaky ground
So now it's the war on obesity
New buzz words, same bullshit, end goal, more extortion
-
being obese mildly has to do with what you eat or drink, it's mostly genetic
i could never ever become obese no matter what i do (i've tried)
so yes it's retarded on several levels
everyone has the right to not live healthy
-
it will only bring down the obese level slightly, but people who like to eat or drink will always find a way, A CHEAP WAY AT THAT
-
The funny thing is, people want to tax soda, but "healthier" alternatives that are being recommended like juices have just as much sugar/calories as the soda themselves. Therefore, retarded and just another bullshit reason to tax us to death.
Now if they were really serious about health care AND obesity, they would penalize people living unhealthy lifestyles and are overweight. I say, tax a certain amount for each pound they are overweight.

if bein fat and obese is a genetic problem, how are they at fault?
again if its a genetic problem or part of the problem?
-

About 2% of people are obese because of genetic problems or disease. The other 98% just lack discipline and live sedentary lifestyles.
-
2% damn thats crazy...im not sayin your lyin bout how is that proved?
or why isnt it the other way around?
-
It's all bull shit. They say it's for our benifit, but at what point is it enough? Anything they don't want us to have, they just tax? That's one step below dictatorship. It's just a new way to steal your money. When will people understand. Taxes = a fancy word for theft.
If you want to stop obesity, start with taxing fast food places, buffets, and people who watch tv.
-
yeah and again you voted for change....lol
-
They should have a DubCC tax. It ruins lives. Ask NIK.

Exactly. Especially with the TV thing. People watching TV instead of getting up and just moving around an extra 30 minutes more than usual is what's really causing these problems.
We are already gonna be taxed by default when obesity continues to increase. With more obesity, we get more diabetes, cancers, etc. etc. and all these things are gonna drive up the cost of health care for everyone. SO now we gotta get taxed on top of that? Fuck that.
-
Tax that shit
-
Tax that shit
I dont really fuck with soda these days anyways.
-

nah
can u imagine how much 2 cents would be on every purchase tho? Its clearly to make money, not to keep people from buying soda. People will just pay the tax.
-
yeah so how do people feel now that they voted for these fucks to get in office? lol
especially white and black people
of course its all about the benji
it goes both ways, both the people and the nation dont care about one another when in a way they work for each other...or so its posed to be that way
like they say
your tax dollars at work or make it work...lol
or make them for work for you

there will be a president whether 5 people vote...or 100 million people vote. Do you think life would be far better with Mccain and the retard in there?!
-
no but its the system as a whole....white people dont raise up but they raise up when a black person gets in...lol
they need to raise up and ask for whats right not this wack shit....is it right for not rich people to pay a quarter of their check to the gov't who on top of that takes more and says there's a deficit or too much debt?
wheres all the money goin then?
and then on top of that they want to increase wherever they can, gtfoh
-
i propose a lie tax. a politician has to pay $100 every time he/she tells a lie.
we would cover the deficit in 2 months.

Co-Sign.
And like Virtuoso said we had the...
War on Drugs- millions of dollars to have surveillance, wire taps, and prisons for non-violent drug offenders, and it's only created more violence and drug use
War on Illiteracy- Most Americans at a 5th grade level, scores continue to go down
War on Terrorism- Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace (1984 Style!)
...now thanks to the great Michelle and Barack Obama we have this stupid task force on childhood obesity, and a war on Obesity so we can waste more money.
-
they should take all that money and give every fat person in america that lap band shit....that or send em to africa and feed em for 32 cents a month.
-
My main problem with this is that these taxes will mainly fuck with the lower-income families. According to a few studies, an increase of 10% of with "soft drinks" leads to a 7-8% decrease in consumption. Since this could be a unique tax, we don't know the actual effects of what a soda tax will do, so nobody is sureif it even decreases consumption.
There still has to be a way to tackle obesity because we don't live in a world where the decisions of one person do not have an effect on everybody else. If we take the attitude of saying, "look your ass is obese, that's not my problem" then it probably would have taken longer for other issues safer drinking water, seatbelts, and a bunch other things people take for granted in the United States. We didn't have that attitude though, because we all drink water, and we all drive cars.
-
if they get fed and when they do, its got to be worse than prison food...see what a kid does then when he dont have 3 fuckin sodas to have every day
kids be walkin around havin sodas as if its the thing to do...and when they dont get it.....they start throwin the game controller, remote controller, school books at their moms

That's a good point. I never looked at it that way.
However, at the end of the day, in my opinion, if you're over 18 or the age where you're looking after every penny, chances are you're not a a soda drinker, if you are (chances are) you are willing to pay whatever for it. Laziness that exists all around the board should be taxed. (again, in my opinion)
-
This is madness. If you tax someone because his way of living is in some indirect way hurting society, you might as well tax beautiful girls who don't give blowjobs and pussy to everybody cause those people who don't get pussy might get mad and/or depressed and start massacres or become nursing cases who leech off the health care system and what not.

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...

I vote yes.

I'm not in favor of this particular tax but your comparison is weak. Obesity isn't indirectly hurting society, it's directly hurting it. It's a fact that obese people miss more work which causes the companies to lose money. It's a fact that obese people have a shorter life span. It's a fact that obese people go to the ER more often. It's not an unknown situation, the evidence is there. It isn't a fact that a guy not getting a blow job from a beautiful girl will create some random problem.

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.

Swimming laps is defiantly a good workout. Even just swimming around is good exercise. Constantly moving around (in water, which has a lot more resistance then air) strengthens the body.

What I mean is those people aren't swimming to exercise but to have fun.
It's kind of like an amusementpark without any fastfood.
Or a movie theatre without popcorn.
Exercising doesn't mean shit anyway, I bike 10 miles a day and still am sort of fat.

Yeah, I see people do that ranch thing all the time. I think its disgusting. You're already eating a greasy ass pizza.
And fuck those doctors. I know motherfuckers like them. They get Master's degrees and PhDs in public policy, stop practicing medicine all together and go into politics (which is what they wanted to do in the first place). I can't stand most doctors in general >:(

It's all sugar and food coloring, which is all calories and no nutritional value. The phosphorus gas that makes soda fizzy may be linked to cancer, but the jury is still out on that.

You still have to consider the psychological aspect.
If you think it will work, you will convince yourself it worked, even if it is a facade you feel better.
It also tastes good, which also makes you feel better.

You may have meant that as a joke (of course I can't read sarcasm), but its the muthafuckin truth. So why do people take life so seriously. This is why I fuck any bitch I can. Might as well experience as much as I can before I drop dead from drinking soda once a week (since drinking less soda seems to kill people more often than when you drink it regularly).

Why are scientists always publishing researches about what will kill me when it would be easier to make a list of things that won't kill me.

because a list of things that wont kill you....wont cause you to run to your doctor and tell them your need prescription meds.

It pretty much is. Only difference is there's slightly more fructose in high fructose corn syrup compared to sucrose (table sugar).
The higher amount of fructose MAY have something to do with the onset of diabetes, but the jury is still out on that shit.

Worse Than Sugar
Experts are finding that "high-fructose corn syrup" (HFCS) is making us fat. Scientists at nutrition research centers are saying that it's a huge problem.
Exactly what is "high-fructose corn syrup"? Well, it's not the same thing at all as the natural, healthy fructose in honey and fruit. "High-fructose corn syrup" is a highly refined, artificial product. It is created through an intricate process that transforms cornstarch into a thick, clear liquid. White sugar and "high-fructose corn syrup" are not the same. Industry advocates for corn growers say that they are the same. But nutritional science studies say that there is a big difference between the two. They say that "high-fructose corn syrup" is worse than sugar.
This manufactured fructose is sweeter than sugar in an unhealthy way, and is digested differently in a bad way. Research has shown that "high-fructose corn syrup" goes directly to the liver, releasing enzymes that instruct the body to then store fat! This may elevate triglyceride (fat in blood) levels and elevate cholesterol levels. This fake fructose may slow fat burning and cause weight gain. Other research indicates that it does not stimulate insulin production, which usually creates a sense of being full. Therefore, people may eat more than they should. Indications also are that the important chromium levels are lowered by this sweetener which may then contribute to type 2 diabetes. Obesity is a contributor too.
Many older Americans are overweight. As we age, our taste buds don't work as efficiently, prompting us to eat more of everything that tastes sweet. "High-fructose corn syrup" is in almost everything.
The dangers of white sugar have been known for a long time. But now the evidence seems clear that "high-fructose corn syrup" is an even more dangerous consequence for our love of sweets. Dietary experts are singling out this fake syrup as one reason for the startling rise in obesity in America and related increase in diabetes.
"High-fructose corn syrup" is not the corn syrup you buy in a bottle at the supermarket to use for baking. It's an artificial additive that's cheaper and easier for manufacturers of sodas and fruit juices to use. If you read labels, you'll find this additive in such products as pizzas, baked beans, candies, yeast breads, sweetened yogurt, baby food, ketchup, cookies, beer, sodas, juices and alarmingly in most brands of manufactured foods. I have to read a lot of labels to find a brand that doesn't contain "HFCS". If the artificial additive "high-fructose corn syrup" is added to an otherwise healthy food, is it still healthy? If you add a speck of poison to vitamins, are they still good for you? After all, just a speck of poison probably won't hurt you on the spot, but accumulative amounts most probably will. 30 years of these accumulative affects of "high-fructose corn syrup" is evident in the obesity and health problems we have today.
Manufacturers of food products began substituting "high-fructose corn syrup" for white sugar in the 1970's. A red flag went up in my mind when I read these facts. I remember distinctly in the 70's when this happened. I was in the habit of drinking one Coca Cola every day since the 1960's. I never put on weight with only one coke per day. I clearly remember when this fake corn syrup replaced the sugar in sodas. The cola's didn't taste as good, and I began to put on weight. I remember that I knew it was the Cokes, but couldn't figure out why. I never made the connection between my weight gain and the change from sugar to "high-fructose corn syrup".
I believe that there's something meaningful in the fact that the increase of the use of "high-fructose corn syrup" in the 1990's, coincides with the obesity epidemic. This coincidence cannot easily be explained away. Annual consumption of this artificial sweetener today is more than 60 pounds per person. It was only about 1/2 pound per person in 1970. The U.S. Agriculture Department reports that Americans consume more "high-fructose corn syrup" than white sugar.
"High-fructose corn syrup" is highly valued by food manufacturers. It's easy to transport in tanker trucks. It isn't susceptible to freezer burn, as is sugar. It has a long shelf life and keeps foods from becoming dry. It gives bread and baked products a wonderful color. It's also cheaper than white sugar, partly because of generous federal subsidies and trade policies that encourage farmers to grow more corn. Fast food chains add it to their products because it is cheaper. It's in the sauces, in the condiments, in the breadings, in the buns and in the drinks. It is the commercially preferred artificial sweetener.
What's worse than sugar? Now you know.

do your thizzle, nizzle! :bandit:
ive been saying shit like that for a minnute now. think about it, i could go out tomorrow, get a nose bleed and find out from the doctor that i have a brain tumor. we cant controll shit like that. we cant control when we die unless were the one who pulls the trigger.
in my life ive damn near been hit by fast moving cars while crossing the street....what the fuck im gonna worry about soda when i can die at any moment of any day. fuck that. if i want to drink a fine carbonated beverage with my grease soaked 1/4 pounder with some large fries with ranch, then god damn it, imma fuck the shit out that meal. ya feel me?! :bandit:

I think this thread has etched into my subconscious. I went to the vending machine today to get a drink and instead of soda I got a chocolate milk. That's never happened before. :eh:

cant milk be jus as bad tho..what they put in milk? lol

Depends on the type of milk. If it's skim milk, than that's much better for you than soda. At least it provides calcium and vitamins your body can use.

I've heard both arguments and they both have decent points. Like I said before, the jury is still out.
The average American consumes so much HFCS that I hope the difference between that and sucrose are minimal. Personally, I've been weening myself off of all processed manufactured foods unless I go out with friends/family on special occasions just to be safe.

damn milk jus dont taste good

That's your right. I just don't appreciate being lied to by people selling a product that can have serious health consequences. At least when you buy a pack of cigarettes you don't have Newport telling you its just as safe as breathing oxygen, feel me?
