NYC is proposing to charge an extra 15% for things that are not at all good for you like coke and pepsi.

Stupid. Anything can cause obesity if you eat enough of it...

increasing money for CUNY schools is affecting me a ton more than a can of fuking soda.


I hope SNL makes fun of him some more.

If you ate nothing but lettuce, you would die of starvation.

Let's ban lettuce!

my first thought was that obese people will be charged extra when using public transportation....afterall...more weight ..more fuel to get the vehicle moving

how about tax ONLY the obese people, charging them an exta 15% for everything :)

IMO, if you think "this isn't a terribly idea", it is simply in terms of unnecessary regulation = bad.

Yeah, but soft drinks, among other products full of calories, make it a lot easier for you to be obese.

Taking into consideration the current crisis, I think it's be a smarter move if healthy food got less taxed. It's pathetic how junk food is way cheaper than proper food (as far as I know, that's something Brazil and the US have in common).
