Nanny State PING!

[pepsi_junkie]

Time and again we hear politicians from different parts of the country profess the virtues of a soda tax. Their reasoning ranges from wanting to improve the public health, by cutting back consumption of unhealthy drinks, to talking about how much revenue it will bring in.

the article goes on to make the case how the tax in Philly has been a disaster. BUT ... in Philly they made no bones about it: this has nothing to do with fake concerns about public health. They admitted it was about revenue, period. The assumed it would fund all sorts of free pre-school. Instead it's putting groceries out of business. Thanks government.

Buy a Soda Stream. Carbonate your
own beverages while limiting
sugar consumption. We’ve got one.
It works OK.
