    With obesity soaring, focus has turned to soda taxes. What happened in Colombia shows how ugly it can get.http://nyti.ms/2hy7qgZ

        #Obesity has to do with more than just #soda you have to take into consideration #DNA #GMO food and prob a plethora of other things that has not been figured out yet so you should admit that the #sodatax is like #carbontaxes and is nothing more than a #cashgrab.

        But it's a start though, sugar may not be the worst but it is a good thing either. I guess than it's more the question who will give in sooner... Sugar or meat industry.

        People have the right to make bad choices and harm their bodies. Instead of wringing a few extra bucks out of them for it, let’s maybe just stop pretending obesity is just another body type.

        As a smoker that doesn't drink soda, I'm glad they're going to tax pop! Dollar a can sounds right.

        Can we keep politics out of this? This really has nothing to do with Trump. Also obesity does exist and if you know you have it then get help don't complain.

        Maybe not point to trump but politicians can change some stupid laws that benefit industries far more than people. And you're right, one can do something themselves, in politics and behavior/foodchange.....

        It's just a tax on the people who makes bad choices, which most of the time is the poor.
