Tax on Soda!!

Who gives the government the right to tell us what to eat or drink? Now, I can understand wanting our nation to be healthier. Ok, well taking into consideration the benefits that could possibly take place if there was a tax added to sugary drink, like Kathryn stated, this could definately be more of a controversial issue. We simply can't let the government run every aspect of our lives, and health issues should be more of a responsibily of self or parents as to how and what we want to drink.
