>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

Taxing soda is dumb because refined sugar/HFCS is bad no matter the product, so you'd need too tax almost every processed food. Why pick on soda? @FishyMan420 suppose it's a first step, and soda is probably the biggest source of sugar for people.
What we really need is shame on all levels of society like Japan does. "Thicc" is not sexy, it's obesity and disgusting.
Vaccines work at making profit just like sugar.

If it were up to me I wouldn't tax soda, I would make it so you couldn't get it on food stamps.
I could be wrong but I remember a study they did and it revealed like 20ish% of food stamps (or each states equivalent) went towards soda alone.
So much fricking empty calories when you could get real food with that money.
I also know first hand families in the south who have it with every single meal, and like 90% of the family is obese or worse.
Depressing stuff

The existence of food stamps is the real mistake.
Are there no workhouses? Are there no prisons?
