No surprise that you support something like this.

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.

Still waiting on you to answer the question.
Why should the government/city etc be able to tell someone how much soda they can consume?

I guess I need to spell it out for you since you have ZERO contextual intelligence:
I D-O-N-T L-I-K-E I-T. T-H-A-T-S W-H-Y I P-R-O-P-O-S-E-D A-N A-L-T-E-R-N-A-T-I-V-E.
Maybe instead of being a jackass, you could have just read what I said.

I think everyone understands it just fine. Some act like there will be no soda period

That's not what he said, obviously some people would still drink it. Just look at cigarrettes, some people still smoke. However, the decline over the last 50 years is largely due to increased prices and health concerns.

And why any kind of proposal?? A person should be able to drink whatever they choose, and decide how much they want to consume

And cigarrettes should be one's perogative. Just because some don't agree with it and what it does to your health doesn't mean it should be "taxed" more

And all that is irrespective of a tax.

So just because something is supposedly "bad" for you, you want a higher
tax?

Someone did bring up the idea of a "fat tax" in this thread. I'd like to assume they were joking, but...

A soda tax would decrease consumption, but that doesn't mean some people wouldn't stop at all.

Or they would simply buy another 16 ounce and not the 20 or whatever other large sizes there are.
Lebron James will never be as good as Michael Jordan, thus we should get rid of his nickname, "The King".

Yes. That's what they would do under the current rule.
I'm talking about what I'd rather see.

Doesn't a private establishment, such as a restaurant, reserve the right to not allow outside food/beverages and kick people out that break said rule?

They probably do, but if they want business they won't tell someone how much soda they can have

How much would you be affected under my proposed fat tax? 200% increase?
