Soda Tax - I'm All For It.
I'm hating the ads about the possible sales tax on sodas and "fruit" drinks. I'm very much in favor of taxing them. But I'm also in favor of using that tax to subsidize drinks that are actually healthy for you. It should not be cheaper to buy fizzy flavored corn syrup than it is to buy carrot juice. Have you priced carrot juice lately? Carrot Juice is one of the best things for you but for the price of a small bottle you can buy a six pack of crap. Or, even a 12 pack of the cheaper non name brand crap. This is one of the reasons America is in such poor health. It's expensive to eat healthy. It's expensive to drink healthy. It's expensive to get basic human nutrition.
Can we change it? Do we have the will? Where there's a will there's a way. Without a vision... the people perish. Literally.
