I agree that milk rather than soda especially for

children. No one needs the amount of sugar in

sodas.

Very interesting and I do agree. The tax is another matter. I guess the premises is that if they are taxed they will not be easily contributing to the sugary drinks and drink more milk?

Well, Mr. Daines makes a persuasive argument for reducing the obesity epidemic by taxing one of the main culprits. Government is striking a preventive measure against the reasons we become fat and vulnerable to weight-related diseases. However, a sin tax on sugar seems another encroachment on our rights to live just as we please without the confines of a police state. I am undecided on this issue. :)

Everything always comes down to taxing. Does anyone realize that we are taxed over and over and over several times for the same check or money. EX: you work get paid every week or bi-weekly and you spend that money at the store. Each time you spend a dollar you are taxed again. How many times can the government tax that same money? As many times as they like,obviously. They dont really care about your health. Its just another way to get a dollar out of you every time they come up with some sort of plan. Every idea cost us in one way or the other. Ither i our health are our pockets. Either way it affects your health. Think about it…
