I was suprized to see the American Heart Association was a big supporter of this tax. They carried signs into the appeal hearing yesterday.
Gov always mucks up whatever it does. It should stick to minting currency and keeping terrorists and criminals out of this country.
My Cardiologist,who just recently retired after a 50 year career on the faculty of Harvard Medical School,once told be that he read in one of his professional journals that a huge percentage of the typical American's daily calorie intake was due to sodas and soft drinks.IIRC he said it was 40%...but it was some time ago so I could be wrong.
However,a special tax is a stupid idea if if what he read is accurate.Self control is the key...not laws.
