>Id like to quote I think Aubrey "is there anything middle class people love more than telling poor people mcdonalds is bad for them?" thats what I feel like the soda tax is.

Because eating dogshit food that cost more then real food from grocery store would actually help out their financial situation.

>I'd like to learn more about the reasons against soda taxes

Me too, but because I literally don't understand how this would be a negative whatsoever.

>Boston? I just saw they're considering it and got immediately bummed out. There's already so much anti-fat sentiment here.

It's like they are almost self aware to see the connection that caring about soda = bring fat

We have this here in bongland in the form of a sugar tax and the main thing it did was make all soft drinks taste of aspartame except full fat coke which just pays the tax. It did make the scots sperg out though when Irn Bru went from being at saturation point with sugar to still extremely sugary.

Sugar taxes are meaningless if you don't also tax diet sodas, because people just drink those instead and don't get healthier.
