Tax on Pop?

To be honest i never knew this was such a critical subject, then again I never knew that pop could be this un-healthy to your body. When talking about taxes on pop is just plain dumb. Why would anyone pay extra for a can of Pepsi? I can fully tell you if they did put taxes on pop then many people would protest against it. This dosen't mean I don't see the other side of this arguement. After seeing those videos and doing a little extra research on the side, the government has good reason to put taxes on pop. This is a horrible way of approaching things though. They should be targeting the companies to make delicious drinks while keeping the fat and sugar contents low, and no, not more diet soft drinks. In conclusion rather putting taxes on pop they should put more research into the companies to lower fat and sugar levels.
