A tax would have been easier and definitely worked better.

I'd agree, especially when you can by 40's, but it's different when you have kids that don't know any better drinking it.

Fats need to be taxed simply for being fat not just what they're buying. How bout a 1% tax increase per 5 lbs overweight??

Saw something on TV over the weekend about a fat tax in Europe - Poland maybe? Apparently it was a big failure and repealed after a year or so

A soda tax, not a fat tax.
It's easier to implement (just add to sales tax) and actually generates revenue that can be used to icentivize healthier living.

Gotcha.
I wish they would charge a fat premium for larger seats at sporting events and other seated venues.

It wouldn't affect nothing with me. I would take my own soda in. Who is anyone to tell someone how much soda they can have? Lol

Dadgum right. I'd get a 12 pack and take it into the restaurant.
This is exactly why I've lost hope for this country. Trying to tell people what they can and can't have

No. Some don't. Some don't also act like jackasses.
A soda tax would decrease consumption, but that doesn't mean some people wouldn't stop at all.

I don't support this bill either, but anytime any new law is brought up on tBB and I read reactions to it, this is all I can see in my head:
