Crazy Nut Job

Interesting. You support the soda tax because you think the government should enact policies to change people’s eating habits. What makes this case different?

I obviously agree that the salt ban is ridiculous. However, I think the soda tax is even more ridiculous, particularly because the government subsidizes the production of high fructose corn syrup that makes soda cheap in the first place. A soda tax is also extremely regressive, disproportionately hitting lower income people.
